Mobcast 54: CO-OP on Co-op

by Alex Martin in Games633 days ago

Ryan O’Donnell and Cesar Quintero of Area 5 media, producers of CO-OP, are hosted by Bitmobbers Demian and Brett. Appropriately, the theme for this episode is co-operative gaming and Demian starts with his topic — games the panel only plays co-operatively. Some games are just better when you have friends there with you, like Phantasy Star Online, which Ryan seems to think is the same offline as on, but is transformed when your friends are there to check out your loot. Ryan has a cool idea — more games should have two-part weapons...

Player One Podcast

Player One Podcast – Episode 171 (02/01/10) – Not Playing What Everyone Else Is

by Ross Adams in Games739 days ago

While every other podcast is dedicating hours to discussing Mass Effect 2 Player One is a Mass Effect 2 free zone, save the first 3 minutes of talking about not talking about the game. Being the resident Apple fanboy CJ is already in line to buy the iPad. While he’s mildly disappointed it’s not much more than a bigger iPod touch he says that’s enough to warrant a purchase. Phil picked up Tasunoko vs Capcom and has been playing through it to unlock characters, a practice no one is a fan of. He is really enjoying the somewhat crazy...

CO-OP — Episode 315: Reflections 2009 Part 2

by Derek Lavigne in Games745 days ago

This week picks up right where last week left off, with more discussion on favorite games of 2009. For those who didn’t tune in last week, the CO-OP guys have assembled a group of some of their more regular guests for this discussion. Downloadable titles are first focus of conversation, with David Ellis mentioning that Flower had what he felt were the best Sixaxis controls of any PS3 game. A quick stop on the quirky Noby Noby Boy leads to Dan Hsu talking about his love/hate relationship with one of my favorite games of last year, ‘Splosion...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #110

by Jon Cole in Games755 days ago

The typical Debriefings crew is joined by IGN funnyman Scott Bromley, which results in a podcast even more tangential than usual.  Ryan has been playing Bayonetta and has swiftly concluded that if he could marry any video game character, his choice would be the librarian/witch protagonist.  Any conversation that could be considered moderately relevant devolves into a debate between whether Mega Man 2 or Mega Man 3 is the better game. Ryan takes some time to bring up Julian “Rabbit” Murdoch’s latest piece on GameSpy, titled “God’s PR...

The HotSpot

The HotSpot 01/05/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games765 days ago

The HotSpot is back after the holiday break and Bayonetta starts both the year’s big releases and the podcast discussion. The reception is pretty positive all around, but the story seems to fall into the realm of the unintelligible. Darksiders also gets a few kind words and seems to be shaping up to be more than a simple God of War clone. Another entry to the Def Jam series is coming to the PSP, and Brendan Sinclair and Kevin VanOrd read from the script of the game in place of ESRB ratings theater. There are some great 1-liners here. The guys...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #108

by Jon Cole in Games778 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...

The GameSpy Debriefings #106

by Jonathan Downin in Games791 days ago

After a GarageBand crash and subsequent loss of the podcast last week, the GameSpy guys are back. This week’s cast starts out with a rather sorry tale of Ryan’s attempt to play Assassin’s Creed 2– yes, he couldn’t get past the tutorial. Left 4 Dead 2 and New Super Mario Bros.Wii have been entertaining and frustrating the crew. Brian #1 (or is it #2?) reviewed The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the site and shares his opinions on it here. While he enjoyed it a lot, he doesn’t quite manage to convince Anthony...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 165

by Jonathan Downin in Games793 days ago

Things kick-off with Lego Indiana Jones 2 which sounds like it is the best entry in the series yet, and actually has a rather innovative split-screen execution in multiplayer. Dragon Age continues to entertain, as does New Super Mario Bros.Wii. The Left 4 Dead 2 discussion makes a comeback and the opinion here is that the game is quite difficult, but not so much as to diminish the fun. Talk of gaming on the road comes up with a couple of guys traveling a lot lately, and the consensus is that they are more likely to reach for the laptop over other...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 144

by Jonathan Downin in Games796 days ago

Facebook games start off the cast and not surprisingly, they are discounted as “not games.”  A new Medal of Honor title is on the way from some of the original Call of Duty team and the crew is excited about a potential challenge to the reining leader in modern FPS war games. The Prince of Persia re-reboot gets a mention and Daemon is excited about a true sequel to Puzzle Quest. Pets are now available in the Xbox Live Marketplace, and it is baffling that Nintendo hasn’t tread this turf already. Who can say no to a virtual pet? New...

4 Guys 1UP

4 Guys 1UP: 12/04/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games797 days ago

4 Guys 1UP is back to its regular format this week with special guest Gary Whitta. If you have been following the PC gaming scene for  while, you may remember Gary as the Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer. He has gone onto screenwriting, and his latest is the Denzel Washington thriller, Book of Eli. Gary has also had a hand in the stories of Duke Nuken Forever and Gears of War. He is an amazing guest, and David deserves a lot of credit for thinking of him. A new Medal of Honor game is in the works, and it is going to be a “modern combat”...

The Geekbox: Episode 42

by Jon Cole in Games, TV798 days ago

Tryptophan talk opens up this week’s podcast, quickly (and gratefully) transitioning to some discussion of the Blu-Ray versions of Star Trek and Pixar’s UP.  Mike commits a grave offense by considering a standard Blu-Ray player over a PS3, but Higgins seems to empathize. Dragon Age: Origins seems to have captured Karen’s attention, despite the seemingly generic premise.  Mike is clearly continuing to have fun with the game, after the great start he mentioned on the last episode of CastMedium’s podcast.  Ryan Scott had...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 164

by Derek Lavigne in Games799 days ago

With the holidays in the US this week, the GWJ crew is down to three with Shawn Andrich, Julian Murdoch and Rob Borges holding down the fort. Starting off the show as usual with games they have been playing which features a lot of talk on Assassin’s Creed 2 up front. Shawn and Rob have finished the game but Julian voices his frustration at some of the more platform-heavy sections of the game. Talk then moves to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, with the guys taking the opinion of thinking the game is very difficult. Continuing talk about Dragon Age:...

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

by Ross Adams in Games800 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...

CO-OP – Episode 307: The Jason Show 2: Outtake Boogaloo

by Jonathan Downin in Games801 days ago

As announced last week, this week’s episode is an interim entry as the guys are on vacation. Jason is heading things up for the second time with his self-title show, but his segments are kept more minimal than they were the first time around. There is 1 regular game segment this week in New Super Mario Bros.Wii. Bitmob‘s Dan Hsu is sitting down with Cesar and composer Paul Greenleaf to share their opinions on the game, and there is nothing too new here. The hectic gameplay commands the bulk of the discussion, but Dan, as always, has...

The GameSpy Debriefings #104

by Jon Cole in Games803 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,...
