Retronauts Episode 89: 03/18/2010

by Ross Adams in Games692 days ago

A shorter than usual episode this week as there’s no main topic so it’s all Retro game news from the last few weeks. There hasn’t been too much but the guys do focus on a select few things, starting the the XBLA re-release of Perfect Dark. Sharkey says while it’s dated it’s definitely worth playing, especially if you were a fan of Goldeneye. He says PD is essentially a better Goldeneye and with this improved version it’s a great opportunity to play a game alot of people missed first time round. Final Fantasy II,...

Active Time Babble

Active Time Babble XI: Pokemon & Dragon Age | 03/18/2010

by Ross Adams in Games693 days ago

This weeks show kicks off with Scooter talking about recently announced premium Mass Effect 2 DLC. Aside from saying it looks good there’s not much discussion of the DLC itself rather the reasoning behind Zaeeds integration into the Normandy and whether new party member Kasumi will suffer a similar fate. Mass Effect 2 continues to be a topic of discussion as the guys move onto talking about RPG related GDC panels. Kat questions whether the Pokewalker, which comes with the Gold/Silver remakes, will appeal to kids or if it’s just the older...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 20

by Derek Lavigne in Games693 days ago

A shorter show this week with only two segments, but a lot is covered and even Andy Reiner bringing his phone to keep him busy doesn’t detract from the excitement this week. God of War 3 is the subject of the first segment and well, apparently that game is good. Although they do mention the sense of scale the game gives you like many reviews focused on, they also take the time to discuss what distinguishes this experience from the previous two. One interesting point that is brought up is the fact that this game finally gives players a reason...

Podcast Beyond

Podcast Beyond, Episode 129

by Jonathan Downin in Games694 days ago

And the first Roper-less Podcast Beyond appears. Greg seems to be taking the helm from here on out and the crew addresses the Roper and layoff situation right off the bat. In usual Podcast Beyond fashion, the mood quickly picks up though and the regular hijinx ensue. This seems to just be how the Miller and co. handles difficult situation though, as anyone who listened to Game Scoop! episode 137 knows. Green Day: Rock Band strikes the wrong cord with the Beyond crew and after a bit of meandering Ryan talks about his experience with Final Fantasy...

Player One Podcast

Player One Podcast – Episode 177 (03/15/10) – The GDC Afterdinnercast

by Ross Adams in Games697 days ago

The first 10 minutes of this week’s episode are tough listening as the guys start off in a busy restaurant, complete with background birthday party. They soon move to a hotel room though with lower audio quality than usual but less background noise. The show kicks off with some talk about Playstation Move, which Phil christens “PS3mote”. Guest Ethan Einhorn thinks it’s the best of the motion controller solutions but Phil and CJ aren’t so sure. Phil thinks the whole think is just a novelty and certainly not worth the...

CO-OP | Episode 105 – Indie Games Special

by Jonathan Downin in Games1039 days ago

GDC is still lingering and the CO-OP guys are pouring the love on some indie games.  Most of us don’t get much exposure to these smaller games so this is a great view into a what that scene is about. If Braid was your first foray into these kinds of games and you are looking forward to more, don’t miss this episode. A huge part of the Game Developers Conference is the Independent Games Festival. We talk to the developers, play the games, and show you why this part of gaming universe is so important. Runtime – 35:41 Links → [web]...

Invisible Walls – Episode 51

by Jonathan Downin in Games1043 days ago

Tons of GDC stuff here.  Although you have probably heard almost all there is to hear about the conference at this point, Invisible Walls delivers again with its video based format.  Surprisingly they also include footage that was not supposed to be taken at all. OnLive gets a lot of discussion, but that is the tip of the iceberg.  Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2, The Conduit, God of War 3, Punch Out!! and so much more.  This is one not to miss. GDC review! Will OnLive deliver? Does Punch-Out have the eye of the tiger? Runtime – 37:15 Links...

Listen UP: 04/3/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1043 days ago

Recipe for a 1UP GDC podcast:  1 part journalists, 1 part developers, 2 parts alcohol. Things are crazy from the beginning here, but after the break is when things really break loose.  There is a lot of high level discussion almost being had here.  Everyone has a lot of analogies and a lot of ways they approach and feel about games and it all adds up to nothing too coherent. That doesn’t mean it’s bad though.  There are some great views in here if you can wade through the sea of talking points. Victor Lucas, Sterling McGarvey, Matthew...

Rebel FM Episode 13 – 4/02/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1044 days ago

This isn’t the Rebel FM it has been.  If you haven’t heard, Philip Kollar has decided to step aware from the show.  He mentions in his post on eat.sleep.game. that he isn’t going away for good and that he will pop up on podcasts from time to time, maybe even Rebel FM.  That’s makes Rebel FM without its two main creators.  But the show must go on. Though the format is changing we still get the “what you’ve been playing” segment.  They then move on to GDC stuff starting with OnLive.  Matt Chandronait...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 85

by Jonathan Downin in Games1044 days ago

The Beyonders are back from GDC and talking about the games– somewhat.  Greg Miller made another GDC diary, but it is pretty short and uneventful this year. Apparently some of the guys got into an exclusive Sony party, including Ryan Clements.  While he was there he got the chance to see a live performance by Janelle Monae, who he was just introduced to, and he won’t stop talking about her and her video called Many Moons.  It’s also embedded after the break. Not to much else going on here.  These guys are really looking forward...

Command Prompt Podcast, Episode 41

by Jonathan Downin in Games1046 days ago

Jason Ocampo is talking bout OnLive as he got try to give a spin at GDC.  He played Mirror’s Edge on the service and he says that there was just the slightest bit of lag, but that it was almost imperceptible.  He wrote-up his impressions over at IGN. The IGN PC guys had a chance to talk to the doctors from Bioware about Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.  There hasn’t been to much information about ME2, but there are some morsels here.  Looks like we are going to have to wait for E3 to get any real, interesting information. ...

at1UP: 03/31/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1046 days ago

Matt Leone is talking on this week talking about his Brutal Legend cover story which can been seen on 1UP.  The feature is being rolled out over the week, but you can go check out the first part, which is a Tim Schafer profile, and the second part should be up later today. In their GDC wrap-up Jade starts out by pouring some love on World of Warcraft since she sat-in on a panel about the quest construction.  She also attended a panel on the artwork in Dead Space and has a few things to say about that.  Mike Cruz also has a few things to say about...

The Totally Rad Show | Episode 106 – Arrowing

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies1047 days ago

The movie in the first segment, Monsters vs Aliens, is something that a lot of people who watch TRS probably don’t care too much about, but it’s nice that the guys can cover these sort of mainstream, light and fun movies as well as the bigger releases. Jeff went to GDC last week and has a lot to share.  Yet more OnLive talk, but the kicker here really is the independent stuff he saw.  It sounds like there are some very interesting, smaller stuff in the works that you should check out if you are tired of 1st and 3rd person shooters. ...

Out of the Game, Ep. 2: Game Developers Conference 2009

by Jonathan Downin in Misc1047 days ago

The second episode of the newest gaming podcast on the block with a dream team of former editors and one freelancer is out and it’s even better than the first.  Shawn Elliot has taken the reigns this time and the topics stick a lot closer to gaming since GDC has just wrapped up. Since most of this group is now in game development in some manner almost everyone has something to say in regards to the events of the past week.  OnLive gets discussed here and there are some pretty wide ranging takes.  Everyone seems genuinely interested in seeing...

Invisible Walls – Episode 50

by Jonathan Downin in Games1048 days ago

Pete Wanat is sitting in again this week and he is finally talking about his game, Wanted: Weapons of Fate.  He talks a lot about how licensed products can be successful and we his have generally a cut above the rest.  Wanted has gotten decent reviews, it got a 7.2 from GameTrailers specifically. GDC is the talk of the second half here, but instead of talking about the announcements and games the focus is on the show itself and how it has become less strictly about developers.  Everyone has a take on this, but the main sentiment is that it is...
