Three Red Lights Podcast Episode 132

by Jonathan Downin in Games792 days ago

Hilary is back in the studio with the TRL guys, and that is always a good thing. The Saboteur doesn’t get much love at the front here, and Darksiders is similarly not striking a high note. Final Fantasy XIII‘s recent 39/40 rating in Famitsu sparks some discussion, but it’s Lost Planet 2 that has the guys excited, especially Charles. There is a big section of emails in the middle that lead to some fun topics, including a reader who has concocted an omelet that bears the Onyett name. An interview with a couple of the Forza 3 guys...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 162

by Jonathan Downin in Games815 days ago

The big Dragon Age discussion took place last week, but Julian is back so he has to get some comments in about his experience with the game. Needless to say, everyone is still enjoying it. Although it isn’t the type of game that usually appeals to the GWJ crew, Modern Warfare 2 also receives some time, with mostly positive comments. The timestamp is 15:00 – 26:00 if you are still in a no info zone on the game. Half Minute Hero, New Super Mario Bros.Wii and Forza 3 get mentions before the group moves on to this week’s topic on sequels....

Drunken Gamers Radio 11-07-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games823 days ago

Another early episode of DGR this week brings us a very inebriated Moe, who honestly makes this episode fairly difficult to listen to. As usual a drunk dial and mailbag segment starts off the show. A couple of emails challenge the DGR crew’s apprehension to Forza 3 having a second disc that needs to be installed, which they proceed to defend. Reviews this week contain a pair of download only games with Silent Swords for the iPhone and Pinball Pulse for DSiWare. Hilden feels that Silent Swords is interesting, but some mechanics could have been...

Player One Podcast: Episode 159 – CJ is Missing!

by Jonathan Downin in Games824 days ago

The Player One guys are back, minus 1 Chris Johnston, and plus 1 new theme song. After a close race in votes for the new theme song, the ultimate winner won by a mere 3 votes. Modern Warfare 2 kicks things off, and the guys step into spoiler territory again, so get ready to hit that mute button or skip ahead. The return of EGM is slated for December 1st, but details are still sparse. Greg Ford has been playing the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, but says that although it is fun, he won’t be buying it. Phil is thoroughly enjoying the latest Ratchet &...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 160

by Jonathan Downin in Games828 days ago

The Gamers with Jobs guys have always skewed towards the PC more than many others, so Torchlight is what has the group excited this week. The biggest pulls of this game continue to be its ability to suck you in, along with its $20 price point, and both aspects are duly are appreciated here. Forza 3 has been a surprise hit with the guys, and Uncharted 2 coop gets some negative comments. There is no topic of the week with Rob sitting in for Shawn. Instead, the guys for a more free-form discussion which leads into releases of this holiday season, the...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-30-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games829 days ago

An early episode of Drunken Gamers Radio this week starts off, as always, with a mailbag segment. A lot of emails this week bring in great drinking stories. Another listener continues the bashing of Jessica Chobot from last week. Reviews this week start off with Forza 3, which Moe loves and Hilden thinks it’s unforgivable that there is a mandatory install. Up next is the new Ratchet and Clank game, which everyone seems to love. The retro review for the week is Sonic 3D blast, which Hilden doesn’t seem to love, but thinks it is worth...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 137: Donames

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies830 days ago

Gentlemen Broncos is first up in movies this week. This comes from Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess, and he seem to deliver some more quirky characters here. Jeff thoroughly enjoyed the film, but Dan found it to be somewhat disappointing. One thing everyone can agree on is that Jemaine Clement, of Flight of the Conchords fame, delivers an unforgettable performance. There are a lot of games covered this week. Things start out with footage shot during a New Super Mario Bros.Wii event where the guys seemed to be enjoying the game. Forza 3 gets...

CAGcast #176: Uprage!

by Derek Lavigne in Games835 days ago

After a one week hiatus due to Wombat having family health issues, he and CheapyD are back for another CAGcast. Cheapy  shares his experience with the Windows 7 Whopper, which he posted a video of on Youtube. Before getting into actual news, Wombat shares his experience raising money for Sarcastic Gamer’s Extra Life charity event. Cheapy has been playing a lot of Forza 3 since it was released in Asia the previous week and says he is really enjoying it, pointing out the rewind feature as a great addition. Wombat has been spending a lot of...

Rebel FM Episode 37 – 10/22/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games841 days ago

Anthony has finished his 1st playthrough of Borderlands and ended up giving it a 4/5 star review on GameSpy. This is in pretty stark contrast to what Arthur had to say about the game last week. Anthony is also talking about Dante’s Inferno PSP after having some time with it recently. He says that it is more God of War-like than ever, but that doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Tropical 3 also comes up as a follow-up to the discussion about the game on this week’s Geekbox. Tyler has been playing a lot of games recently and he talks...

The HotSpot 10/20/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games843 days ago

Borderlands is proving to be received in a much more positive light than many previously thought. We touched on it in this week’s CastMedium Podcast and may have been a little hasty in our dismissal of the game. Demon’s Souls continues to capture imagination with Brian talking about his strange attraction to the game. Justin got his hands on the PSP version of GTA: Chinatown Wars and it sounds like Rockstar has polished it up nicely. The tentatively forthcoming Sam Raimi directed Warcraft movie is still in the news. Justin voices his...

CastMedium Podcast 008 – 10.19.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech844 days ago

We are a little leaner on topics this week, but we have realized that even if we only had 1 topic, we could easily fill 30 minutes. Uncharted 2 starts off the game talk this week. The reception of the game has been overwhelmingly positive, aside from Tom Chick’s review over at Crispy Gamer. Erik finished the game and has a lot of great things to say about it, but he feels like Chick’s review has a lot of strong points to add to the discussion. Jon is halfway through Brutal Legend and shares his praise for the game. Brutal Legend’s...

Giant Bombcast 10-13-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games850 days ago

This week’s Bombcast is crashed by Capcom’s Adam Boyes and freelancer John Vignocchi who bring along with them some champagne which makes for a crowded, at times even nonsensical show. Most of the first part of the show is taken up by John telling various stories that may or may not come back to haunt him later. Adam stays quiet for most of the time but doesn’t hesitate to crack open the alcohol. Getting into what they have been playing, Brad’s time has been eaten up solely by Uncharted 2 which, like many people, he feels...

Rebel FM Episode 35 – 10/08/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games853 days ago

Nintendo held a New Super Mario Bros.Wii event earlier this week, so the gaming collective are all talking about the game. Many were not exactly excited about the game after it’s E3 revel earlier this year, but the impressions from this event have been highly positive. Anthony’s impressions are no different and he talks a bit about the games here and then goes on to share some more positive thoughts about Motorstorm. Uncharted 2 is glazed over with the guys just touching on multiplayer and the situation surrounding the reviews of the...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 156

by Jonathan Downin in Games857 days ago

The guys have been getting into some older games recently with the release of a patch for Sins of a Solar Empire and the new Left 4 Dead campaign. Left 4 Dead is still holding some attention, but Sean still can’t get into it due to his aversion to coop games. The Forza 3 demo is continuing to impress and secures another purchase in Julian. If you are a fan of the Idle Thumbs podcast, this will be a fun listen. Shawn Andrich brought on Chris Remo to discuss his disgust with Bioware over the latest Mass Effect 2 trailer featuring Subject 0....

Listen UP: 09/28/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games865 days ago

With this final Tokyo Game Show podcast from 1UP, 1 thing has been made abundantly clear: 1UP gives you hard games coverage and IGN gives you flavor. While the group here agrees that there wasn’t too much big news coming out of TGS this year, that is not going to stop them from talking about every singly game they saw. There are so many games covered here that it is almost impossible to point out anything specific. Look at the list below and if you want to hear about those games, listen to this. Mark MacDonald does take a moment at the end...
