Rebel FM Episode 49 – 01/29/10

by Ross Adams in Games742 days ago

Assassins Creed 2′s first bit of DLC was released this week, guest Ryan O’Donnell and Arthur have both been playing it. While they agree it’s disappointing they both recommend picking it up because the low price for more Assassins Creed 2 content seems like a no-brainer. Arthur briefly touches on Dante’s Inferno, he is not sure of his feelings on it yet but hopes to talk about it more next week. Arthur played some of the 360 demo for Battlefield Bad Company 2, he says there is a definite learning curve when it comes to the...

Rebel FM 48 — 01/20/10

by Ross Adams in Games750 days ago

Matt Chandronait of Area 5 joins the usual crew this week, after his recent playthrough of Fallout 3 Anthony decided to pick Oblivion again. This leads into some discussion about the potential that Bethesda are making an MMO, a thought that scares Arthur considering how buggy their singleplayer RPGs are. The theme with this weeks what have you been playing segment seems to be a brief game discussion leading to a broader discussion of the genre. This continues when Matt talks about his experience with Star Trek: Online, this leads into the guys debating...

Player One Podcast – Episode 169 (01/18/10) – A Cross Between Other Podcasts and Zelda

by Ross Adams in Games754 days ago

Not alot of games covered this week as the guys have been pretty busy, as a result the games talked about get more airtime than usual. Greg Ford just finished Arkham Asylum and despite disliking the end boss battle he reiterates his feelings that is was definitely one of the best games of last year. Phil tried out the demo for the new Lunar game on PSP, the discussion of this is somewhat scattershot though with perhaps more information about the cast of Power Rangers than the game itself. As a fan of the series though Phil enjoyed the demo and looks...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 142: Gymnasticry

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies795 days ago

Brothers is the only movie this week, but the guys seem fine with that. While every drives home the impactful nature of the film, Dan declares it to be his favorite movie of the year. The performances are pointed out, with the most praise directed at Tobey Maguire. The guys also touch on the Prince of Persia trailer. The middle segment delivers another “Raised on Rad” entry with the guys getting their slot-car racing on. They seem to genuinely enjoy going back to this 80s classic, and it’s nice to know that some things are still...

Giant Bombcast 12-01-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games801 days ago

With Brad out of the office, site designer Dave Snider sits in on the podcast this week. A recap of the holiday break takes up the first part of the show with tales of food and holiday events. Assassin’s Creed 2 has been on the docket for many of the GB staff and Vinny took the time with family to throw in some old games like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. Talk then turns to the month of December being slow on the new achievements and what everyone’s plans were on catching up on missed titles. Jeff mentions Ratchet & Clank:...

Player One Podcast: Episode 159 – CJ is Missing!

by Jonathan Downin in Games824 days ago

The Player One guys are back, minus 1 Chris Johnston, and plus 1 new theme song. After a close race in votes for the new theme song, the ultimate winner won by a mere 3 votes. Modern Warfare 2 kicks things off, and the guys step into spoiler territory again, so get ready to hit that mute button or skip ahead. The return of EGM is slated for December 1st, but details are still sparse. Greg Ford has been playing the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, but says that although it is fun, he won’t be buying it. Phil is thoroughly enjoying the latest Ratchet &...

Rebel FM Episode 39 – 11/05/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games827 days ago

This week’s cast kicks off with Left 4 Dead 2, but quickly moves on to Modern Warfare 2 and the group, with guest Tina Sanchez, spend over 30 minutes discussing the various recent developments surrounding the game. The overall tone is rather negative, with the limits on the PC and Xbox multiplayer modes and the recent controversial video being cited. Tyler and Arthur both state they will not be picking up the game in light of these issues. Tyler has been playing GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony and has nothing but praise for the game. Borderlands...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-30-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games830 days ago

An early episode of Drunken Gamers Radio this week starts off, as always, with a mailbag segment. A lot of emails this week bring in great drinking stories. Another listener continues the bashing of Jessica Chobot from last week. Reviews this week start off with Forza 3, which Moe loves and Hilden thinks it’s unforgivable that there is a mandatory install. Up next is the new Ratchet and Clank game, which everyone seems to love. The retro review for the week is Sonic 3D blast, which Hilden doesn’t seem to love, but thinks it is worth...

The HotSpot 11/03/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games830 days ago

Kevin starts this one out with the 1st of 4 games that get glowing impressions this week, Dragon Age Origins, which he scored a 9.5/10. He says that the narrative is great, and that if you give it 30 minutes, you will be hooked. Atypically, the Xbox 360 version loses out technically to the PS3 and PC versions. Justin says that The Ballad of Gay Tony is a great closer to GTAIV before Dead Space Extraction and Ratchet and Clank close out the love-fest. Things turn for the negative with Tekken 6 and the announcement of the DSi XL. As is the case with...

CO-OP – Episode 303: Halloween

by Jonathan Downin in Games830 days ago

iPhone games are up first this week with a focus on the rhythm genre. The iPhone has always been a good platform for this type of game, and with the recent release of Rock Band, it is only getting better. In addition to Rock Band, Jason and Matt discuss Guitar Rock 2 and the Tap Tap Revenge series. Jay and Ryan are talking about Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time and Ryan found himself having a good time after getting past the slow-burn opening. While the tone is positive overall, the consensus is that Insomniac needs to do something new with...

Player One Podcast: Episode 158 – Castro the Friendly Ghost

by Jonathan Downin in Games831 days ago

First up is some sad news about a recent loss within the gaming community. Once the guys move on to game talk, Modern Warfare starts the conversation in relation to violence in games. We will all have to wait and see how Infinity Ward handles this in the game before making final judgments, but the guys offer some good, insightful discussion here. The DSi XL gets a fairly cool reaction here, much as it has everywhere else. The bottom line is, this is not for us. After a long absence, the Game Club segment makes a return with the Halloween inspired...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 5

by Jonathan Downin in Games835 days ago

Anyone who has been following Game Informer knows that they have been going through a transition. They have recently relaunched both the magazine and website. Along with a stronger online presence, they have also started a podcast, The Game Informer Show. Although this is only the 5th episode, it feels like they have settled on a structure that is somewhat unique. There is no classic “what you’ve been playing” segment, the show is instead partitioned into self-contained segment which have a tight, 1-game/topic focus. This allows...

at1UP: 10/27/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV837 days ago

Sam is jumping in to join the regular crew this week. Things kick off with discussion about the new Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth. It seems like it is going to be a throw-back to the classic SNES entries in the series. Sam touches on Lego Universe for a bit and it sounds like it could turn out to be a cool, creative MMO experience. Rachet and Clank gets some time before Travis talks about his experience with Eufloria, which was also featured on this week’s CO-OP. Left 4 Dead 2 is the game featured on tonight’s 1UP game night, so...

Listen UP: 09/16/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games877 days ago

The Listen UP panel that was recorded at PAX is finally here after word from Garnett that there were problems with the audio.  Things have not been completely smoothed out, but it is still listenable. After hitting 2 of the most talked about games at PAX, Brink and Shank, Shane points to the new Ratchet and Clank as one of his most anticipated games.  Assassins Creed 2 gets some love from Andrew as he points out that they have really taken the game design seriously this time around. The really interesting topics surprisingly start with the audience...

Mobcast Episode 020

by Jonathan Downin in Games879 days ago

Greg Ford again takes the reins this week with Dan still out for unknown reasons.  Also, community member Lance Darnell is invited on and has a lot to add to the conversation, with Michael Donahoe carrying the more casual tourch which he firmly picked up last week. The ridiculousness of the Batman world record title is discussed before the guys go onto discuss the their most anticipated titles of the holiday season.  All the big titles get a mention, but the excitement level for Halo ODST is rather low, and this seems to be an industry-wide sort...
