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...

Arthur has started playing the 2008 game Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, the guys relate it to playing with LEGO and think it’s alot of fun. There’s some discussion of Pandemics “swan song” The Saboteur Arthur and Anthony are a bit down on the game, they don’t seem to think it’s bad, just not great.

The Rebel FM Juneteenth Special!

by Ross Adams in Games903 days ago

It’s a “Juneteenth” holiday special this week, which essentially means a slightly shorter podcast than usual. Tyler starts off what you’ve been playing with what he hasn’t been playing, as his Xbox 360′s disc drive has scratched his Assassins Creed 2 disc to the point that it’s unreadable. He has been playing a lot of games that are part of the IGF. Tyler has moved on from Captain Forever, to the follow-up Captain Successor. He is enjoying it, but he feels Captain Forever (which is now free) is probably the...

Rebel FM Episode 41 – 111909

by Ross Adams in Games910 days ago

It’s just the usual 3 hosts this week and what you’ve been playing starts with Anthony explaining the shortcomings of Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition on Wii. He has also been playing Left 4 Dead 2 which he thinks is better than Left 4 Dead 1 in every way. After a brief discussion about Assassins Creed: Bloodlines on PSP, Arthur and Tyler share their thoughts on Assassin’s Creed 2, Arthur especially is very impressed by it. This leads to some debate about game of the year, and Anthony worries that more recent games will get picked...

Rebel FM Episode 40 – 111209

by Jonathan Downin in Games917 days ago

Arthur’s news of landing a job with Team Xbox starts the cast, and his first order of business will be writing the review for Assassin’s Creed 2. Dragon Age takes the limelight before Tyler touches on Captain Forever again after last week’s discussion of the free online game. The guys get into Modern Warfare 2, and Arthur has a few things to say about the now infamous airport scene. Anthony talks about the Civ-like Europa Universalis and things stay in the realm of strategy games with the recent Dawn of War II expansion. Anthony...

Rebel FM Episode 39 – 11/05/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games924 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...

Rebel FM Episode 38 – 10/28/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games931 days ago

Things start out with the indie game Captain Forever. Anthony and Tyler sound like they have had some fun with the game, but they feel like the $15 asking price is a little high. Anthony had a chance to see some of the single player portion of Bioshock 2 and he shares some spoiler-free impressions here. After some quick Torchlight experiences, the guys touch upon Civilization, Windows 7 and Modern Warfare 2.  Tyler also shares some Eufloria thoughts. Things take a sharp turn in the second half. The guys had a chance to visit Children’s Miracle...

Rebel FM Episode 37 – 10/22/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games939 days ago

Anthony has finished his 1st playthrough of Borderlands and ended up giving it a 4/5 star review on GameSpy. This is in pretty stark contrast to what Arthur had to say about the game last week. Anthony is also talking about Dante’s Inferno PSP after having some time with it recently. He says that it is more God of War-like than ever, but that doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Tropical 3 also comes up as a follow-up to the discussion about the game on this week’s Geekbox. Tyler has been playing a lot of games recently and he talks...

Rebel FM Episode 36 – 10/15/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games946 days ago

There area  lot of games covered this week, starting the forthcoming Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Anthony had a chance to get some hands on time with it and it’s sounds like it is going to be solid. The guys quickly touch on the co-op in Modern Warfare 2 and then get into a lengthy discussion about Borderlands. Arthur doesn’t have too many nice things to say about the game and he cites the unskippable cinematics as baffling since Gearbox is positioning this as a game that is good for multiple playthroughs. Anthony is reviewing...

Rebel FM Episode 35 – 10/08/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games951 days ago

Nintendo held a New Super Mario Bros.Wii event earlier this week, so the gaming collective are all talking about the game. Many were not exactly excited about the game after it’s E3 revel earlier this year, but the impressions from this event have been highly positive. Anthony’s impressions are no different and he talks a bit about the games here and then goes on to share some more positive thoughts about Motorstorm. Uncharted 2 is glazed over with the guys just touching on multiplayer and the situation surrounding the reviews of the...

Rebel FM Episode 34 – 10/01/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games959 days ago

Crime Craft starts this one out and it’s not pretty. Left 4 Dead Crash Course gets a middling response, with the opinion being that this was more of bone to throw to those complaining about the lack of support for L4D than anything else. The Beatles: Rock Band has Tyler excited, but Anthony and Arthur have barely touched it since its release. Arthur really wants to talk about Uncharted 2, but Anthony calls for waiting until next week to get in-depth on the game so Tyler can play it and join in on the conversation. They do get into it a little...

Rebel FM Episode 33 – 09/25/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games966 days ago

Halo ODST continues to be the first game covered in this week’s Rebel FM. Arthur ends up defending the game as Anthony argues that it doesn’t feel different enough and doesn’t offer enough content to justify its $60 price tag. Dead Space Extraction gets a glowing response from the guys here with them saying that it almost elevates the whole on-rails shooter genre. Tyler is talking about wanting to pick up Plants vs. Zombies, and the recent release of a stripped-down free flash version made it impossible for him to put it off any...

Rebel FM Episode 32 – 09/17/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games974 days ago

Robert Ashley is on this week and that is always a good thing.  WET impressions and reviews have been disparate, but there is no doubt which side the Rebel FM guys fall on the issue– they don’t like it.  Darkest of days fares even worse here, but for the definitive view on the game, Giant Bomb’s quick look can’t be beat. Scribblenauts has not proven to be the game that the press had hyped it up to be, but Robert seems to be on the right track when he calls for an iPhone release of the game.  Anthony attended the recent...

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,...

Rebel FM Episode 30 – 08/20/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1002 days ago

Starting out this week’s episode Tyler is talking about his ongoing love affair with Civilization 4 after getting into the Colonization expansion.  He has also been playing Champions Online which he is having trouble getting into and the guys discuss the many problems of WET. This week’s topic of the week centers around the announcement of the PS3 slim and the implications of the new $299 price point.  There are a lot of opinions flying around, but one unique point that is brought up is about the size of the slim and Sony’s decision...
