Major Nelson Radio – Show #312 : Resident Evil 5

by Jonathan Downin in Games1063 days ago

The Major has an interview with Chris Kramer from Capcom on this week’s episode.  We have a heard so much about Resident Evil 5 that having someone from Capcom on to give a somewhat corporate take on things really doesn’t offer much.  PR talk on an over discussed game is really necessary. One of the more fun games to come out in a little while is Peggle on Xbox Live Arcade.  The game is simple, yet addicting.  If you haven’t played it anywhere else, this is definitely the place to pick it up since it has cooperative play over...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 126

by Jonathan Downin in Games1068 days ago

Up front there is some love for GTAIV: The Lost & Damned and Empire: Total War.  Although Empire: Total War is the current favorite with the GWJ guys, they express concern about it not being able maintain their interest for an extended period though. Robert Ashley is the guest on this week’s episode and he continues his streak of elevating the quality of every show that he is on.  He is talking about his podcast A Life Well Wasted and what he is doing with it and what he wants it to be.  Robert shares some of his philosophies about...

Giant Bombcast 03-10-2009

Jeff is talking H.A.W.X. up front on this one and kind of likes it?  It’s a little hard to tell.  It sounds like there are some stability issues, but with those aside there are some innovations and the graphics are great. Eat Lead sounds like it doesn’t work well.  It has its funny moments from time to time, but the gameplay just isn’t there.  With such gaps between the funny and low fun-factor you should probably give this one a pass. Ryan and Brad got a sneak peek at the new Ghostbusters game for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii earlier...

The HotSpot 03/10/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1069 days ago

David Sirlin is an amazing guest.  He is the man responsible for balancing Super Street Fighter II: Turbo HD Remix.  He has a lot to say and obviously knows his stuff very well.  Before he gets deep into Street Fighter stuff he talks a bit about evoking different kinds of emotions from players through gameplay.  It’s a great topic and some more designers should think about instead of using their stories as a crutch. It just gets a minor mention here, but everyone should check out a free flash game on Kongregate called Don’t Look...

Xbox 360 Fancast 107 – Sad Robot

by Jonathan Downin in Games1069 days ago

Mirror’s Edge and Far Cry 2 get a few comments from Richard as he finished them both recently.  Both of these great games got passed over late last year so if you are looking for something to play and haven’t given these a chance, now is the time. There is a rumor that the Xbox Elite is going to be fased out of retail.  Apparently the Elite is not selling too well and taking up too much shelf space so is not seen as being necessary in the core line-up.  It will be reserved for special edition bundles like the recent Resident Evil...

Major Nelson Radio – Show #311 : The Mini Unscheduled Show

by Jonathan Downin in Games1070 days ago

The Maj has been traveling so this week’s show is a short one.  The guys touch on a few things and then move onto Microsoft’s latest XBLA inniciative called “Days of Arcade.”  MS did something like this last summer, but contrary to what they say, that one yeilded some bigger games than this one will. That’s it.  Nothing to interesting or exciting. Not a normal show…e and I got together for a quick catch up. This show has none of the normal show features. We’ll be back to a regular show next week. Runtime –...

Joystiq Podcast 088 – Hermie Hopperhead edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1072 days ago

The downloadable Watchmen game is not fairing well.  Although very pretty, the gameplay seems to drain any enjoyment out what could be a decent beat-em-up experience.  As many have said, skip it and download Streets of Rage 2, you will have a better time. Even more love for the 50 Cent game from these guys.  Exploding ramps and points for everything– sounds like a recipe for awesomeness, just maybe not a full $60 worth of awesomeness. Veering away from the podcast for a second, what does everyone think of the Joystiq reviews?  They seem...
