at1UP: 11/24/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies906 days ago

Ray Barnholt is in this week and he starts the cast off with a few impressions of his recently procured DSi XL. The whole group seems to feel like the screen size is nice and there is no word of the device being too big overall. Filling the 1UP Game Night slot this week is Tony Hawk Ride. The crew is obviously not too up on this latest entry in the series as they are cautiously optimistic about it, and Jade misses the price point by $30. They have set themselves up for disappointment here. Mike held a little get-together featuring New Super Mario...

Drunken Gamers Radio 11-22-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games906 days ago

This week’s DGR is a duet with Moe out in San Diego on business. The show starts off with Drunk Dials, including a question about how secret they keep their drunken audio escapades at their day jobs.  This leads to a hilarious story from John about the time his boss found a rather embarrassing picture of him. The mailbag bring stories of hardware crashes and confused PSPgo customers. The reviews segment starts off with the sequel to DGR’s game of the year from last year, Left 4 Dead 2. John agrees with the sentiment that the game is...

Player One Podcast: Episode 161 – Showgirls

by Ross Adams in Games907 days ago

The show kicks off with some voicemails, a couple of listeners took Phil’s Ratchet and Clank spoilers seriously last week and weren’t too happy. There’s more discussion of the infamous airport scene from Modern Warfare 2, Greg Sewart thinks it just doesn’t make sense and isn’t executed well. To cement his point, Sewart pulls out a surprisingly appropriate comparison to the movie Showgirls which also contained a disturbing scene that he doesn’t think it “earned”. Ford has finally played some of Modern...

The Geekbox: Episode 40

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV910 days ago

The Geekbox treads familiar ground this week starting off with New Super Mario Bros. Wii.  Karen and Patrick have been playing the game co-op and have a couple stories to tell about Coin Battle mode.  Patrick has been playing Modern Warfare 2 and is a big fan of Infinity Ward.  Where Call of Duty 4 might have been described as a rollercoaster, Patrick describes the sequel as a theme park where there are concurrent rollercoasters with a shoestring narrative. Ryan Scott got a chance to check out Boondock Saints 2 and he enjoyed it about as much...

The GameSpy Debriefings #103

by Jon Cole in Games910 days ago

New Super Mario Bros. Wii took center stage at the beginning of this week’s Gamespy Debriefings, with reviewer Ryan Scott showering heaps of praise on the game.  The discussion is pretty extended and probably one of the most comprehensive looks among this week’s podcasts, albeit the recurring conversation about the Mario canon timeline. Anthony got a chance to play Left 4 Dead 2 and talks about why the changes in the AI director, new weapons, and new special infected make it much more than Left 4 Dead 1.5.  He also brings up the continuity...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 8

by Derek Lavigne in Games911 days ago

For this week’s first segment, Matt Helgeson is joined by Sega Associate Brand Manager Wyman Jung to discussion the new Alien vs. Predator title under development by Rebellion. Wyman says that unique multiplayer features like several survivor modes will really set the game apart from other similar titles. He also reveals that the game’s storyline will not be tied to any previous movies from either franchise. In the second section, Matt welcomes Andy McNamara and Matt Miller to talk about Assassin’s Creed 2. Both agree that parts...

Retronauts Episode 81: 11/19/2009

by Ross Adams in Games911 days ago

With the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii it’s finally time for the long awaited second Mario episode of Retronauts. After a brief bout of Mario impersonations it’s onto retro game news, of which there is little. The discussion kicks off with Super Mario World. There is some debate about whether it was a true “showcase” of the Super Nintendo’s power. The consensus seems to be that it was very understated and subtle in its use of the SNES’s features, but generally used them in interesting ways. The conversation...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 162

by Jonathan Downin in Games913 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....

Giant Bombcast 11-17-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games913 days ago

This week’s first segment is taken up by tales of big name games as the release season finally begins to come to a close. Vinny has been trying to play more Dragon Age, but says that his PC can’t keep up. Jeff’s weekend was filled with New Super Mario Bros. Wii which to him, is a little too much of the same. He also shares some feelings on Super Street Fighter IV now that embargoes are up.  Brad’s time has been taken up by Left 4 Dead 2, which he says is everything the first came could have been. Ryan then goes into a lengthy...

Player One Podcast: Episode 160 – The bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps

by Jonathan Downin in Games914 days ago

Things start off on a light-hearted note with the guys joking about possible forthcoming entries into the music game with peripheral genre. Theremin Hero anyone? It is no surprise that the Player One guys  are extremely excited about New Super Mario Bros.Wii, and they get into it here. Natal rumors have sparked a resurgence in discussion surrounding the device, and the topic of what types of genres could benefit from this kind of control scheme leads the talk. As always, Phil capitalizes on the opportunity to bring up Milo and get into proper Peter...

4 Guys 1UP: 11/13/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games917 days ago

Seth Killian, of Capcom Unity, is on this week as the special guest and most of the discussion centers around Street Fighter. His story of landing at Capcom shows that being good at games can get your foot in the door, although his hand in creating one of the biggest fighting game tournaments of all-time probably had a lot to do with it as well. NPDs start the news this week and there are a few surprises. The PS3 bested the Xbox 360 again in October on the hardware side. This marks a continuing downward trend for Microsoft’s box. Xbox 360...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 137: Donames

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies927 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...

The Geekbox: Episode 37

by Jon Cole in Games, Misc, TV931 days ago

This week’s episode of The Geekbox comes in a little late and fortunately makes up for it with Brock, the stripper-guardian/podcast roadie extraordinaire.  Fitch reports in on his previous week of every-day-of-the-week dates, with plenty of the pseudo-modesty that you might come to expect from the “playa”. Tropico 3 gets discussed yet again, with Karen coming away from it dissatisfied with the fact that you have to actually build up an economy before you can torture innocent citizens.  Ryan Higgins has picked up Tales of Vesperia after a...

4 Guys 1UP: 10/23/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games937 days ago

It has begun, and it’s all downhill from here. 4 Guys 1UP is the name of 1UP’s new flagship podcast and it will have a special guest every week. This week’s special guest is Tim Schafer and there is no better person to start off with. The 1st segment is dedicated to news and the guys are discussing the NPDs. The PS3 is off to amazing start to the holidays and Microsoft must be paying close attention. The Modern Warfare 2 private server issue also gets some discussion and it seems like it is actually a good thing for most players. Tim...

CO-OP – Episode 301: An Age of Wonder

by Jonathan Downin in Games941 days ago

It’s the start of a new season of CO-OP, and it’s the same– but that’s not a bad thing. New Super Mario Bros.Wii starts things off and the guys are excited about its multiplayer prospects. They may be going a little far by saying that it is like Super Mario Bros. 4 though. Matt takes over the 2nd segment with a trip to the office of Gaijin Games to interview the indie developer about their forthcoming WiiWare game, Bit.Trip Void. While the game probably isn’t on many people’s radar, it is cool to see an indie...
