Mobcast Episode 42

by Jon Cole in Games716 days ago

This week’s Mobcast brings on gamer comedians Jeff Reitman and Adam McLaughlin along with the oft mentioned “Shoe’s Girlfriend”, Raychul Moore. Dan’s topic opens up the podcast by asking why “comedy” is a genre limited to film and not games. Clearly this is an intricate topic, but Jeff and Adam conclude that the interactive medium isn’t as complementary to comedy as is a passive medium like film. Hype has been both a blessing and a curse for the games industry, bringing some developers to their...

by Ross Adams in Games753 days ago

Not alot of games covered this week as the guys have been pretty busy, as a result the games talked about get more airtime than usual. Greg Ford just finished Arkham Asylum and despite disliking the end boss battle he reiterates his feelings that is was definitely one of the best games of last year. Phil tried out the demo for the new Lunar game on PSP, the discussion of this is somewhat scattershot though with perhaps more information about the cast of Power Rangers than the game itself. As a fan of the series though Phil enjoyed the demo and looks...

Giant Bombcast 01-12-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games759 days ago

The Bombcast crew is extra loopy this week due to a rare morning recording which provides for some hilarity before moving into games they have been playing. Vinny spent the majority of his weekend playing Dragon Age: Origins and is still hungry to play more even after more than 80 hours. Jeff has been spending time recently finishing up Darksiders for review and reinforces how unabashedly it takes from Zelda, although like most, doesn’t think that is a bad thing. Brad seems to be stuck in some type of time warp as his Fallout 3 play clock...

Joe Dodson and Kristin Reilly join the Mobcast this week, resulting in yet another mini-Gamespot reunion for fans of the good old days.

Chris is covering CES this week, so he misses the 1st half of the show, but Griffin is sitting in. Ludwig starts things off with some hate for Rogue Warrior and Bayonetta’s ridiculous story.

Rebel FM 46 — 01/06/10

by Ross Adams in Games763 days ago

He feels like it may have been poorly represented in previews and at events that made it seem like more of a brawler than it is. Tyler has played a few hours of Bayonetta, he thinks there are some really small smart design choices that have added to his enjoyment. Most of the show is taken up with replies to this weeks listener question, which asked for listeners gaming resolutions for 2010. Unsurprisingly a lot of replies involve dealing with gaming...

Joystiq Podcast 121 – Nomenclature edition

by Ross Adams in Games783 days ago

The show kicks off with alot of Dragon Age: Origins talk, the graphics are the first point touched on. The guys agree they aren’t great but alot of the issues with the look of the game are down to a lack of animation. Justin has been playing Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes on the DS and is really enjoying it, he is slightly perplexed at the use of the Might & Magic name and the mostly generic subtitle. He is really enjoying the fast paced puzzle gameplay however. There is some discussion of the VGAs which the general consensus seems...
