Rebel FM Episode 31 – 08/28/09

by Jon Cole in Games994 days ago

This week, Tina Sanchez joins the Rebel FM crew, opening the first segment with Dawn of War II.  In preparation for the upcoming DLC, she’s been spending a little bit of time trying to master some of the levels from this Games for Windows Live RTS.  Arthur notes that Dawn of War II shares many basic elements with a game like Diablo 2 and is a great for newbies to the genre. Arthur talks about Guitar Hero 5 briefly, noting its constantly updating interface and feature list to bring it closer to Rock Band.  He also admires drop-in multiplayer,...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 133

by Jonathan Downin in Games994 days ago

The Xbox 360 price drop is still being overshadowed by the the PS3.  Even though the 360 just dropped it’s price last week, the PS3 slim commands just as much discussion at the beginning of the podcast.  Rumors of a $399 Xbox 360 with a 250Gb hard-drive and a game pack-in have been swirling, so don’t be too surprised if you see that later in the year. Kurt Cobain, along with Johnny Cash, will be featured in Guitar hero 5.  Daemon doesn’t understand the controversy surrounding his inclusion and sites The Beatles: Rock Band and...

Three Red Lights, Episode 124

by KirePDX in Games994 days ago

Hilary Goldstein is out this week, so Erik Brudvig is hosting and starts with an interview with Travis Chen of Neversoft on the upcoming Guitar Hero 5.  Travis goes in-depth on the studio tools and options, which will be pretty powerful. In a bizarre experiment, the team calls TRL fans to ask Travis questions directly, and it actually goes pretty smoothly. Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station DLC appeared without warning this week, but it’s apparently a disappointing series of combat missions.  Even for $5, Erik says it’s not worth it. ...

Joystiq Podcast 105 – Wifearmed edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1008 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...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 102

by Jonathan Downin in Games1009 days ago

It’s a rather tame Podcast Beyond this week with just Chris, Greg and Ryan in on this one.  The first piece of news is a sad one.  Developer of Wanted, Terminator Salvation, Bionic Commando and more, GRIN, has closed up shop.  They pumped out a lot of games in a short, but they were all rather middling and didn’t sell too well, so this is what happens. The main discussion here is the quickly approaching games convention in Germany, Gamescom.  Although not too many huge announcements are expected, the rumors of a new slim version...

Rebel FM Episode 29 – 08/13/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1009 days ago

Microsoft seems to have really nailed it this summer with their XBLA releases.  Trials HD has gotten a lot of good press, but good press and good sales numbers are 2 different things.  Shadow Complex’s August 19th release is mere days away and Tyler almost breaks the press embargo at the beginning of this one.  It is probably safe enough to say that it will be worth the $10 at this point though. Anthony had a chance to play some Operation Flashpoint 2 and as expected, it seems to be for a very particular type of simulation crowd.  This...

Giant Bombcast 08-11-2009

by KirePDX in Games1011 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...

The HotSpot 08/11/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1011 days ago

Madden 10 is getting some good press with it’s latest iteration, Madden 10.  It sounds like the game has made progress in almost all areas and is the biggest leap in quality in years.  If you really care about Madden, you were probably going to get it anyway though. Blizzard has stated that the main reason for the StarCraft 2 delay is their Battle.net service.  It is rumored that with the release of StarCraft 2, Battle.net will be completely relaunched as not only a matchmaking service, but as an online service similar to Valve’s...

Major Nelson Radio – Show #327: COD WaW Map Pack 3 and Guitar Hero 5

by Jonathan Downin in Games1020 days ago

Stepto is on this week talking about Xbox Live policy again this week.  Who really thinks that they can get free MS points by giving their password away?  Crazy kids… Guitar Hero 5 is on the way, and even though it is starting to rub people the wrong way with its frequent releases and iterative design, the new version does include a feature that may be interesting to some.  You will be able to use your Xbox 360 avatar as your in-game character.  This is a cool addition that would be great to see in more games. The new dashboard update...

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...
