Podcast Beyond, Episode 101

by Jonathan Downin in Games1016 days ago

Trophies for PS3 just don’t seem to have caught on like Xbox 360 achievements have.  The guys touch on trophies here and lament the problems with the difficulty in getting platinum trophies.  Trophies are often too hard to get and just don’t add up to anything that is as easy to understand, unlike Xbox’s gamerscore. Braid, Castle Crashers and the Fallout 3 DLC are finally coming to PS3.  While this is good news, it sparks a discussion on the shortcomings on Sony’s part in letting Microsoft tie up many games and DLC packs...

Three Red Lights Podcast, Episode 121

by Jonathan Downin in Games1017 days ago

1 vs. 100 has started showing up the top 10 games currently being played on Xbox 360.  It’s probably safe to assume that no one expected it to be such a hit when it was announced.  It seems like free games that bring the community together and offer prizes is something that will get people interested. This is the G.I. Joe episode, but that’s not saying much as almost every episode of Three Red Lights seems to be the G.I. Joe episode.  The guys have played the game and it scored a pretty horrible 5.8 on IGN.  It apparently has checkpoints...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 146

by KirePDX in Games1025 days ago

This episode is an edited version of a live show from last Saturday that celebrated the three year anniversary of the Gamers with Jobs podcast.  In recognition, they revisited their first topic and discuss game violence while focusing on what has changed in three years; then they answer a number of questions from their live audience. After touching on the Madden 10 demo, and a few other games, they quickly dive into this week’s subject, game violence, to discover they don’t have as much to say as they did three years ago. The perceived...

Giant Bombcast 06-30-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1052 days ago

Another lengthy edition of the the Bombcast.  1 vs. 100 continues to grab attention.  It sounds like a great casual quiz game experience and being free is the thing that really makes it. The Conduit has not gone over too well at the Giant Bomb offices.  Check out Jeff’s review for all the details. There is some very serious and lengthy discussion about the acquisitions that have taken place over the past few weeks.  There is a lot of these going on, but weirdly enough, it sounds like it is to the benefit to almost all involved. The topic...

Rebel FM’s Thanksgiving in July Short-tacular!

by Jonathan Downin in Games1058 days ago

The guys over at Bethesda keep cranking out the DLC for Fallout 3 and it sounds like it just keeps getting better.  Arthur has played quite a bit of it and he is enjoying it.  He is also playing the new Call of Juarez and it sounds equally entertaining. Battlefield 1943 get some love as does the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta.  There are going to be a lot of great multiplayer games this year with these and Halo ODST out this fall. Covered topics and games: Fallout 3: Point Lookout, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Overlord 2, Battlefield 1943, Uncharted...

Giant Bombcast 05-26-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1088 days ago

With the announcements of the 2 new Fallout 3 DLC packs the guys are talking about how successful Bethesda has been with their DLC strategy.  Instead of putting out 1 huge $30 expansion as in the past, having a new DLC pack every 6 weeks is a nice alternative to keep the game fresh.  The guys even manage to get a Valve “episodic” dig in there. Jeff is angry about the recent tactics by companies like Infinity Ward and Konami when it comes to the teasing of reveals, and understandably so.  Infinity Ward’s egregious teasing of...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 121

by Jonathan Downin in Games1092 days ago

Many have heard about the rumors of a slide-out screened  PSP being announced at E3, but in addition to this, there are now rumors that Sony will also announce a downloadable rental service for PSP.  This would be a great thing for the PSP. Greg Miller is sharing some very important information here about etiquette involving buffalo wings and the romantic times. For those of you looking for E3 coverage, the guys let us know that IGN will be live-streaming the big press conferences along with many other things during the show.  Look for the details...

Listen UP: 05/22/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1092 days ago

Garnett has gone to the effort of providing us with a full, to-the-minute breakdown of the show this week.  You can see that on the 1UP boards, but we have also put it in the show notes provided below. We get the definitive Infamous discussion this week.  The guys spend almost a full 30 minutes talking about the game so if there is anything you want to know about it, it is probably discussed here.  If you want to know more after listening to this you might as well just go out and buy the game. Trico gets some time leading into some E3 predictions. ...

Joystiq Podcast 098 – Pre-pre-E3 edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1092 days ago

Infamous has proven to be a critics’ darling.  Everyone seems to love it including Griffin McElroy who is on this week’s show in place of Justin.  As the guys state, Sony has not handled the marketing of the game well at all.  When they have a great, exclusive game, they should go all out on it. There are 2 more DLC packs coming to Fallout 3.  They both sound pretty substantial with one centering around an alien encounter.  Good new for those of you playing on PS3, all of the DLC packs are coming to PS3 as well.  You just have...

Giant Bombcast 05-19-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1095 days ago

There are tons of games talked about on this one so here a big, fat list: Ultimate Fighting Championship, Bionic Commando, InFamous, Brutal Legend, Vattlefield 1943, Fable II, Fallout 3, Patapon 2, Ghostbusters, Punch Out!, Tony Hawk RIDE, new Kojima project and a few others. InFamous sounds like it really is going to be an amazing game.  Brad has played through it and he just teases his review which will be up very soon.  One thing that can be gleaned about his opinion is that the game is fun in a CrackDown sort of way. Over at Giantbomb.com...

Invisible Walls – Episode 55

by Jonathan Downin in Games1113 days ago

Justin had a chance to take a look at Zipper’s MAG a few days ago and the matches he took part in were small scale 16 player matches.  Weird that it is marketed as a 256 player game, but the press even was such a small map.  The guys talk about the way such large matches will work and pontificate about how the hierarchical system will work. There is also some discussion about Infamous.  The video running looks great with a hovering mechanic being shown.  Shane say he prefers InFamous over Prototype as does Justin.  They both come out...

by Jonathan Downin in Games1116 days ago

Scooter went to London for the Fallout: New Vegas announcement and then headed to Manaco for a swanky Capcom event.  If you don’t know too much about Manaco this is an interesting listen.  It sounds somewhat akin to Dubai. The crew is also talking about Marvel vs. Capcom 2 which they are playing on Game Night at 1UP tonight.  The new version coming out for XBLA and PSN looks to clean up the graphics quite a bit so go check that out if you are interested. The new G.I. Joe Resolute cartoon gets some talk time here are the group seems to like...

The HotSpot 04/21/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1123 days ago

Tor Thorsen is on this week’s HotSpot and he is in classic Tor form.  One word: intense. The NPD get some more coverage here with the guys lamenting the poor performance of GTA: Chinatown Wars for DS.  DS games tend to have a different sales path in that they tend to do well over a longer timeline than their console counterparts so there may be hope yet. There is an interview with the original creator/writer, Al Lowe, of the Leisure Suit Larry games wherein he discusses the lack of humor in many years.  It is sad that humor has become something...

Rebel FM Episode 14

by Jonathan Downin in Games1127 days ago

After a week’s absence the Rebel FM guys are back and have a lot to talk about. Sad story of the good guys getting punished for being more than generous this week.  Stardock released Demigod and was inundated by pirated copies bringing down their servers causing reviews to be delayed.  Brad Wardell, Stardock’s president and CEO, never puts DRM on their games and was rewarded with over 100,000 copies being pirated upon release. It must be a slow time for game releases as Fallout 3 has been coming up again more recently.  Tyler is on...

Listen UP: 04/17/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1127 days ago

Get ready for a lengthy Listen Up this week.  There is some edginess going on at the beginning here, but it all in good fun. Killzone 2 is back in the conversation since the guys have been playing it.  The impressions are not all positive and the NPD aren’t very positive for the game either. Patrick is talking about Fallout 3: The Pitt expansion and it doesn’t exactly sound like a winner.  He does say that there are some incredible weapons to be had. As mentioned before, the NPDs are out and there is a lot of interpreting going on. ...
