4 Guys 1UP: 01/15/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games854 days ago

Finally, it’s back to the original vision for 4 Guys 1UP with a former developer in Amer Ajami as the special guest this week. Amer is a former editor for GameSpot, but was working as a producer on the EA’s Command & Conquer team since 2002. The 1st half of the show is spent on his history and his take on development. Amer has some interesting things to say about working conditions in relation to the recent Rockstar issues over working conditions. Amer also starts the game talk with his recent addiction to Modern Warfare 2. Sam hasn’t...

Rebel FM 46 — 01/06/10

by Ross Adams in Games861 days ago

Despite barely being able to talk Anthony manages give his fairly positive thoughts on Darksiders. He feels like it may have been poorly represented in previews and at events that made it seem like more of a brawler than it is. Tyler has played a few hours of Bayonetta, he thinks there are some really small smart design choices that have added to his enjoyment. Most of the show is taken up with replies to this weeks listener question, which asked for listeners gaming resolutions for 2010. Unsurprisingly a lot of replies involve dealing with gaming...

Rebel FM Episode 45 – 01/01/10

by Ross Adams in Games867 days ago

In the last recorded RebelFM of ’09 Tyler Barber is missing but in his place are Bitmob‘s Greg Ford and Area 5‘s Matt Chandronait. Being the end of the year there is little new to talk about so the what you’ve been playing segment is taken up with some older releases. Greg Ford has been playing the Zelda: Minish Cap for GBA, which he has apparently been playing on and off for 2 or 3 years. Modern Warfare gets briefly discussed, exploits and balance issues being the main focus. Greg also played through Assassins Creed 2, he...

CO-OP – Episode 311: 10,000 Deaths by 1,000,000 Bullets

by Jonathan Downin in Games872 days ago

There are no new releases to be had until the new year begins, so the CO-OP guys take the opportunity to do a more topic-focused show this week. The topic centers around first person shooters and what keeps them coming back to certain titles in the genre. The usual suspects are represented here with Modern Warfare and Halo receiving a lot of nods, but the group does get into some of the finer points about different approaches developers take, and the importance of community. Valve gets a lot of appreciation here for how they have handles Team Fortress...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #108

by Jon Cole in Games877 days ago

The GameSpy Debriefings checks in right before the holidays with a Game of the Year-focused episode.  This year, they made the controversial choice of making platform awards available only to platform exclusives with a separate multiplatform award for games that are spread around. Since the 360-exclusive offerings were a little bit thin, GTA: Episodes of Liberty City was an easy choice for the crew.  The PC game of the year was also a fairly easy choice, but Plants vs Zombies surprised a lot of readers because the ineligible Dragon Age PC was...

Mobcast Episode 34

by Jon Cole in Games878 days ago

This week’s Mobcast is a Gamespot reunion of sorts, bringing our host Aaron Thomas to the table along with 2K’s Greg Kasavin, Giant Bomb’s Brad Shoemaker, and soon-to-be-Stardock’s Jason Ocampo.  That’s right, towards the end of the show Jason confirms that he’ll be moving to Michigan to take the new job, we wish him plenty of luck. The first topic asks what impact social games will have on the gaming sphere, especially with companies like EA and Activision putting major stakes in the race.  Brad seems skeptical, because social networking...

The GameSpy Debriefings #107

by Jon Cole in Games882 days ago

Star Wars is no foreign topic to Anthony Gallegos and Ryan Scott, starting off the podcast with some debate caught on the Gamespy preview of The Old Republic.  Is Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon more analogous to the Jedi Consular class in TOR?  Was Obi-Wan ever a member of the Jedi Council?  All these questions and more are answered at the top of the show. Modern Warfare 2 comes up briefly, since Brian Altano got a chance to finish the single-player campaign.  Unsurprisingly, Ryan also talks a bit about League of Legends again, due to a user comment that...

Rebel FM Episode 44 – 12/17/09

by Ross Adams in Games883 days ago

The show kicks off with Tyler sharing some stories of Modern Warfare 2, it’s pretty much all he’s been playing this week and he is loving it. He says he will definitely “prestige” when he has the option. Arthur has been playing some racing games he missed to be better informed for game of the year discussions, he doesn’t feel Dirt 2 and Need for Speed Shift compare well to Forza 3. Anthony and Arthur have been playing some Army of Two: 40th Day, they both agree it improves on the original but that it still suffers from...

4 Guys 1UP

4 Guys 1UP: 12/11/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games888 days ago

David is in LA this week for the VGAs, so the sound quality is markedly worse than usual. Billy Berghammer and former Pandemic producer Cory Lewis join-in this week and it makes for a fun cast. Cory answers some questions and offers some insight into Pandemic and what happened with the recent mass lay-offs. He also touches on more general industry topics like technology and how console generations affect developers. NPDs start the news and the guys spend a lot time talking about their impressions of the numbers. Mega Man 10 was announced, and it...

Rebel FM Episode 43 – 120909

by Ross Adams in Games889 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...

Mobcast Episode 32

by Jon Cole in Games893 days ago

Bobito Max Chill (Robert Ashley) joins the Bitmob crew for this week’s Mobcast.  Things kick off with the community topic, which asks how the guys deal with hecklers in online competitive games.  Most of the guys seem pretty cynical about the community of games like Modern Warfare 2, which is probably well deserved. Dan’s topic tackles gaming and relationships, which often seem to work against each other.  Ultimately, the guys conclude that giving their girlfriends space to still be included in their experience is the best way to go. The...

Player One Podcast: Episode 163 (12/07/09) – Middle West

by Ross Adams in Games893 days ago

Greg Ford doesn’t stick around for long this week, but before he leaves, Greg Sewart wants to finally discuss the finer points of Modern Warfare 2′s story. Neither think the story is great, but agree that it has some excellent set-pieces, they are also both enjoying the spec ops exclusive levels. With Ford gone the rest of the gang move onto tweets and voicemails, a good range of topics this week, from the new Medal of Honor reboot to the recent EGM announcements. As the show moves into the second segment CJ is excited to finally talk...

Windows Weekly 133: A Fish Called Windows Audio Only

by Jon Cole in Tech894 days ago

Windows Weekly kicks off with some obligatory talk about Modern Warfare 2 and it seems that Paul is still addicted to the game.  Paul also got a chance to appear on last week’s TWiT, which leads into some conversation about the future of TWiT (definitely worth listening if you’re invested in the content on Leo’s network, starts at about the 9:00 mark). Apparently, web browsers are still stuck in the past and Microsoft isn’t too happy about it.  Security issues with Internet Explorer 6 are getting more and more overwhelming every day and...

Player One Podcast: Episode 162 – Finishing Bowser’s Castle

by Ross Adams in Games899 days ago

This week’s especially funny cast starts off with the crew telling tales of their post-thanksgiving sales pick-ups. There aren’t many, but everyone is loving the Steam sale that was on over the weekend. Some listener tweets are up next, topics range from embarrassing podcast moments to Sega Saturn game recommendations. Some very brief Modern Warfare 2 talk kicks off what you been playing, after taking up at least 20 minutes during each the last few episodes the guys feel they’ve overdone it a bit. Greg Ford has been playing the...

The GameSpy Debriefings #104

by Jon Cole in Games902 days ago

Arthur Gies joins the Gamespy Debriefings talking about Left 4 Dead 2 and Lego: Indiana Jones 2 at the top of the show.  Ryan gets a chance to talk about Star Trek Online, which doesn’t sound too promising.  The ground combat of the game, in particular, is apparently very similar to Cryptic’s previous game, Champions Online.  The space combat is a bit better and the guys discuss some of the chronology and history of Star Trek. After a brief spinoff into EVE online, the guys get into listener emails.  Podcast monetization, Twilight: New Moon,...
