Rebel FM: Episode 88 — 01/04/11

by Alex Martin in Games396 days ago

IGN Editor Jim Reilly joins for this 2010-retrospective podcast with Anthony, Arthur, and Ryan. First, though, they look back at the games they’ve played this week. Anthony starts with the PlayStation Move components of Auditorium and Heavy Rain. Jim jumps in the middle of that to talk Oblivion, which he has just started in the midst of Elder Scrolls V news. Arthur is puzzled at Bejeweled 3′s weird faux-epic aesthetic. He’s also got impressions on Mass Effect 2′s downloadable missions (not including Lair of the Shadow Broker). Ryan’s...

Giant Bombcast 12-14-2010

by Ross Adams in Games, Podcasts422 days ago

The regular crew are joined by Popcap’s own Jeff Green for this weeks Bombcast. Some general conversation kicks off the show as usual, some of which of course focuses on Jeff Greens move from EA to Popcap. The free Doritos games released on XBLA this week start the game talk, Harm’s Way gets quickly written off but the Wipeout inspired Crash Course gets heaps of praise. Vinny and Ryan played some Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit together, with Ryan playing a whole lot more on his own. They love the game, they note that the autolog social...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 216

by Jon Cole in Games435 days ago

Julian returns to the show after a fairly decent absence (not including prerecorded segments) and opens up the show talking about the familiar topic of World of Warcraft. Shawn has been away from Blizzard’s moneymaker for a while, so he discusses what it’s like returning to an old friend with some new tricks. The guys also talk about some of the changes made in preparation for the upcoming Cataclysm update, which seem to optimize early-game play in several ways. After a brief stint of iPhone/iPad recommendations (Cut the Rope, Rage HD,...

The Geekbox: Episode 91

by Jonathan Downin in Games, TV456 days ago

Special guest Greg Kasavin, Creative Director for Super Giant Games‘s Bastion, makes this week’s show a winner. Greg is no stranger to games press as he put in almost a decade at Gamespot before going to the development world, so he fits right in. As usual, the crew covers a myriad of topics, but there seems to be a stronger through-line this week. The group spends a lot of time talking about TV and game storytelling conventions, including the use of cliffhangers. The anime-ization of Samus in the latest metroid, and the general trend...

at1UP: 10/26/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV470 days ago

So, it is the last episode of at1UP for a while after the recent layoffs that included Jade. Mike also reveals that 1UP will be moving to a smaller office space in December, so it is pretty clear that 1UP is going through some serious changes. On to this week’s episode, the whole at1UP gang (past and present) is in the house and the show starts with talk of Mike and Travis contributing to a Kirby quilt project. Then it is on to a call-in from Shirk Week’s on Matt Shirk. Alan has a few problems with Costume Quest, Travis defends Castlevania,...

Podcast Beyond: God of War

by Jon Cole in Games475 days ago

The week’s explicit Podcast Beyond starts off with the Roper Report, as always. Since we’re in the thick of release season, news is dominated by announcements and leaks of upcoming downloadable titles on PSN. Sales numbers also hit the scene this week, with Medal of Honor cashing in on the hype with 1.5 million units sold and the PlayStation Move selling around 300,000 units. Pick of the Week is split between Vanquish and Fallout: New Vegas, with much of the debate rising from the bug-ridden initial release of Bethesda’s latest....

Weekend Confirmed Episode 30

by Peter Barta in Games477 days ago

Weekend Confirmed turns 30 this week and Garnett and Jeff are joined by Jeff Mattas. With Brian out sick, the guys discuss some of the news out of Indiecade, the fall lineup of games, morality in video gaming, and the future of console hardware. To kick things off, NBA 2K11 continues to impress – the game is challenging, fun, and Jordan’s implementation is great. Jeff is really loving FIFA, and the guys get into PSN titles and Kirby’s Epic Yarn. The community inspires some great conversation regarding morality and choice...

The Geekbox: Episode 84

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV504 days ago

The sad news of APB shutting down starts the cast. Ryan S. shares a story about IMing the wrong PR person about the incident, and this spurs Alice to say that it is often reciprocated in the form of copy/pasted PR emails. Somehow, the crew then moves on to the intricacies of the lottery. The love affair between Blizzard and Popcap continues with word that PvZ is being integrated into a WoW scenario, and this leads into discussion of WoW Cataclysm. Civ V gets a bit of time, and then the conversation moves on to Halo Reach, which Ryan H. hates just...

The Geekbox: Episode 81

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV525 days ago

Karen is back this week and the cast starts with the story that explains her absence last week– prickly pears were involved. The game talk starts with a little Red Dead Redemption, but quickly moves on to Ryan S’s thoughts on Metroid after finishing it. He is with the consensus that the first person gameplay mechanic doesn’t quite fit, and that the story is decidedly “Japanese.” The price hike for Xbox Live Gold has the crew somewhat divided, but Alice is argues that it really isn’t that drastic of a change. Brock...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 11: Diplomatic Pouch

by Jonathan Downin in Games558 days ago

A conversation about micro-transaction based social games starts the cast, then it’s on to StarCraft 2. Chris is enjoying it, but he does feel like Blizzard isn’t really bringing too much new to the space marine archetype on the story side of things. Red Dead Redemption is back in the conversation with a bit of talk about the cool day/night cycle video done by the Digital Foundry guys. Chris recently got into the new SimCity for iPhone, and this leads into a discussion about the whole Sim franchise. There are some good shout-outs for...

Mobcast 63: Fun With Reviews, Game Endings, and More

by Alex Martin in Games563 days ago

Robert Ashley (A Life Well Wasted), and Andrew Fitch (1UP) join the Aaron Thomas-Greg Ford hosting team this week. Robert and Greg are leaving California soon, so might be off the airwaves for a while. Robert, out of the games press for a while, asks how reviewing games affects their enjoyment of them. This segues into Fitch’s topic, asking for a unique voice in the games press. A Life Well Wasted approaches games culture from a unique angle, and Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw (Zero Punctuation) has his unique review style, but they can’t...

Giant Bombcast 07-13-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games576 days ago

Noticeably absent from this week’s Bombcast is one Brad Shoemaker, who is apparently suffering from food poisoning (get well soon Brad!). But in his stead, we get the Eastern Bloc-loving Dave Snider who always adds a great dynamic to the show. The surprisingly popular Singularity starts things off this week, with Jeff and Vinny doling out praise for some unique mechanics. Jeff spent much of the weekend watching EVO and trying to keep track of all the fighting game nonsense going on. Ryan and Jeff also touch on their experiences with APB,...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Bewb Flash

by Jon Cole in Games577 days ago

Dead Space: Ignition receives a little bit of confusion and a lot of criticism from the Game Scoop! crew, due to the fact that this paid downloadable game taking place between Dead Space and Dead Space 2 dodges the gameplay of the main series and instead plans to implement a “comic book action” style of play. Daemon grills this change the most, predicting that it’ll be little more than a series of quick-time events. Greg is a little more cautiously optimistic, though, as the first game earned this DLC episode a little bit of...

Podcast Beyond: Move vs. Kinect

by Jon Cole in Games580 days ago

Ryan is out yet again, Jim returns after many fan requests, and Nicole Tanner of IGN Girlfight joins the show for her first time. After cast introductions, Greg transitions straight into the Roper Report and the announcement of Dragon Age II. While not everyone is so hot about the console implementation of the first Dragon Age, news that the combat system will be overhauled has inspired a little bit of optimism. In other news, a slight hardware revision of the PS3 in the form of a white console has piqued the curiosity of some of the guys,...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 16

by Jonathan Downin in Games580 days ago

Crackdown 2 kicks off another podcast and the guys aren’t pulling any punches. If you have heard any of the criticism piled on this game from other podcasts, it is almost all represented here as well. Jeff also got into Deadly Premonition after receiving it from Shane last week and he goes on an absolute tear about the problems with the game– incredibly fun stuff. Brian talks about his time with Arma 2, and it sounds like it is for a very specific audience. If you will like this game, you probably already know about it. Deathspank get...
