The Oddcast

The Oddcast: 09/27/2010

by Alex Martin in Games500 days ago

Chris has been eaten by bedbugs, so Matt Leone steps in. He, Sam, Sharkey, and Tina start with the surprising news of a Michael Jackson MMO coming in 2011. Meanwhile, in Chinatown, PS3 controllers are exploding. Less surprisingly, Halo: Reach didn’t sell well in Japan. THQ CEO Brian Farrell thinks smaller, cheaper games are the future, and EA Sports Head Peter Moore doesn’t think 3D is the future. Netlfix has made it to Canadian consoles. Lastly, Batman: Arkham City may feature vehicles and co-operative play. Next, they recommend a...

Mobcast

Mobcast 68: Best/Worst In-Game Weapons, Real-Life Wars in Video Games, and More

by Alex Martin in Games529 days ago

A short episode this week — forty minutes of Bitmob’s Shoe and Demian, joined by Area 5′s Matt Chandronait and GameXplain’s Andre Segers. The first topic is a serious one — the treatment of modern warfare in games. Medal of Honor has caught flack for featuring the Taliban, and Six Days in Fallujah was dropped by publisher Konami for daring to deal with a war that isn’t over yet. Next, they talk about what makes games immersive. Although Andre and Matt like cohesive universes and good stories, they spend as much...

Mobcast

Mobcast 60: Annoying Fanboys, Series Reboots, and Gaming on the Cheap

by Alex Martin in Games585 days ago

E3 provided an opportunity for Bitmob’s writers from around the US to meet up. Editor Aaron Thomas hosts writers Mike Minotti, Jasmine Rea, Alejandro Quan-Madrid, and Rob Savillo. The Nintendo 3DS is a piece of radical new hardware, but will it be worth re-buying all the re-made classics it should launch with? The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake will have a less sadistic water temple, but some announced titles will just be graphically enhanced. Next, they talk about franchises that produce the most annoying fans. Final Fantasy fans always find...

Irrational Interviews

Introducing Irrational Interviews

by Jonathan Downin in Games589 days ago

Shawn Elliott and the Irrational crew are back with a new podcast series. Their other podcast, Irrational Behavior, is a monthly podcast, and this looks to be on a similar release schedule. This podcast will focus on interviews with game development luminaries. The inaugural episode features fellow Boston area developer, Todd Howard from Bethesda Softworks. Shawn, Ken and Todd spend the time talking about their history and approaches to game design. Ken and Todd have shared their game design ideas over the years and that history provides for some...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #113

by Jon Cole in Games735 days ago

The Gamespy crew is trimmed to Anthony, Miggels and Gerald this week, ultimately resulting in a much leaner podcast.  Dante’s Inferno starts off the show, a game which turns out to be not only similar to God of War in its positive attributes but also follows the negative aspects of the classic eastern-style action game.  Frustrating puzzles mixed inelegantly with combat sequences harken back to Anthony’s controller throwing moments of God of War II, so excitement for Dante’s Inferno is quite tempered. The Fallout: New Vegas teaser hit the...

Giant Bombcast

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...

Giant Bombcast

Giant Bombcast 01-05-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games766 days ago

A new year with the Bombcast picks up right where it left off in the previous year, with tales of ridiculous holiday break hijinks. Vinny and Jeff each take their turn solemnly calculating the massive amounts of money they spent on games they will never play during the Steam holiday sale (something Giant Bomb shares with CastMedium). Brad took the break to finally dive into Fallout 3 while he wasn’t eating fried chicken and Ryan played a bunch of Borderlands with Jeff. A busy week for news to kick off the new year with the guys discussing...

Rebel FM Episode 43 – 120909

by Ross Adams in Games791 days ago

The show starts off with some pretty passionate discussion of Modern Warfare 2 in the what you’ve been playing segment. Guest Dan “Shoe” Hsu and Tyler have been loving the game lately and praise the constant rewards it hands out, making for a seriously addictive experience. Anthony seems to have enjoyed Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, with the unique features of the Wii remote put to good use. The second segment is all about the recent announcement of Bitmob and Area 5′s involvement in the relaunch of EGM. Matt and Shoe...

The Rebel FM Juneteenth Special!

by Ross Adams in Games805 days ago

It’s a “Juneteenth” holiday special this week, which essentially means a slightly shorter podcast than usual. Tyler starts off what you’ve been playing with what he hasn’t been playing, as his Xbox 360′s disc drive has scratched his Assassins Creed 2 disc to the point that it’s unreadable. He has been playing a lot of games that are part of the IGF. Tyler has moved on from Captain Forever, to the follow-up Captain Successor. He is enjoying it, but he feels Captain Forever (which is now free) is probably the...

Rebel FM Episode 40 – 111209

by Jonathan Downin in Games819 days ago

Arthur’s news of landing a job with Team Xbox starts the cast, and his first order of business will be writing the review for Assassin’s Creed 2. Dragon Age takes the limelight before Tyler touches on Captain Forever again after last week’s discussion of the free online game. The guys get into Modern Warfare 2, and Arthur has a few things to say about the now infamous airport scene. Anthony talks about the Civ-like Europa Universalis and things stay in the realm of strategy games with the recent Dawn of War II expansion. Anthony...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 107

by Jonathan Downin in Games876 days ago

It’s a special Podcast Beyond this week with Jeremy Duhnam leaving IGN for greener pastures.  While he doesn’t reveal where he will be going he does share the story of how he ended up at IGN almost a decade ago.  Greg also goes into detail about his journey to IGN that includes a story about his truck breaking down and being stranded in a rundown trailer with a random, nudie picture-loving old man for 8 hours. There isn’t too much actual game talk this week other than the usual weekly releases which are highlighted by Fallout...

Joystiq Podcast 105 – Wifearmed edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games910 days ago

It must be a somewhat slow time for releases with so many going back to back-catalog titles.  Justin has returned to Fallout 3 and is finding it a lot more enjoyable than he remembered.  Trials HD and Shadow Complex get their requisite coverage and ‘Splosion Man is still hanging on.  The guys also touch on the Xbox Avatar Marketplace and are coming around a bit to the idea of purchasing virtual accessories. The guys give a call to Joystiq Playstation blogger Andrew Yoon to talk about his recent hands-on time with the Beatles: Rock Band...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 148

by KirePDX in Games913 days ago

Sean and Shawn are back this week, but independent Swedish developer Eskil Steenberg really leads the show with interesting insights on next-gen motion controls, OnLive and game development. No new games covered this week; but Eskil has been trying out Red Faction: Guerrilla; which he thinks is a 7/10 game, but can’t stop playing.  It launches the discussion of flawed games that are impossible to put down, like Red Faction or Counterstrike, and ‘good’ games that no one finishes, like Okami or GTA IV. Eskil wonders if what gamers...

Giant Bombcast 08-11-2009

by KirePDX in Games913 days ago

Jared Rea joins the Bombcast this week, and it’s surprising to find someone who knows as much about Street Fighter and arcade cabinets as Jeff Gerstmann.  So, it’s a half hour and a discussion on EVO tournament etiquette before they even get into current games. Everyone played Shadow Complex, the upcoming Xbox 360 Metroidvannia side-scroller, over the weekend and like it. Ryan polished off Prototype and thought more of story than Brad, while Vinny finally finished Fallout 3, but is now caught in the DLC. Jeff recently played some Command...

Joystiq Podcast 104 – PG edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games917 days ago

The guys start out with their typical recap of what they have been playing and Monkey Island continues to entertain.  Justin is playing through Fallout 3 with the release of the Mothership Zeta DLC.  Bethesda has really hit a homerun with the constant stream of DLC which is successfully keeping people interested and the game in the news.  Chris is digging into the back catalog with Mirror’s Edge and Ludwig continues his love for Tales of Vesperia.  Also, there are some surprisingly positive comments on the XBLA Turtles in Time remake. Sony...
