A day late due to the holiday, but a bit of Transformers talk starts the pre-show. After the opening theme Alan addresses the response to the call for MyCheats freelances, and it sounds like most of them were garbage. Kids these days… The crew touches on Red Dead Redemption and Game Night with Crackdown 2, and then moves on to Tournament of Legends, which involves gladiators. He wasn’t able to give it a try due to the Wii’s inability to connect to wifi, but is intent on getting it to work. The crew then moves on to voicemails where...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Red Dead Consideration

by Jon Cole in Games685 days ago

Game Scoop! reports in with a short show this week, welcoming a rare appearance of Anthony Gallegos as well.  NPDs start things off and Red Dead Redemption unsurprisingly leads the charge.  Anthony makes a point that the performance of RDR is exemplary because it doesn’t have a number in the title, thus making a direct comparison to its Rockstar peer Grand Theft Auto 4 a little useless. The latest PS3 firmware update has introduced several news features to the console, including new photo display features and Move support.  Most importantly...

This week’s show starts with a quick Enemies of Candy segment, and guess what, Alan likes it. The regular show begins with Alan covering some MyCheats stuff and details how to become a cheats freelancer. The guys then get into the news that a key visual representation of Mickey in Epic Mickey has been changed since focus groups weren’t into it. After touching on this week’s NBA Jam 1UP Cover Story and Game Night with Skulls of the Shogun, Mike and Alan recap their time with the new Red Dead Redemption DLC. It sounds like there...

Rebel FM Episode 65 – 06/25/10

by Alex Martin in Games692 days ago

Rebel FM returns from its two-week hiatus with one of the most game-heavy episodes of recent times. There are no long tangential forays and no emails in this E3 wrap-up show with guest Jim Reilly (IGN). After a quick discussion of Mass Effect 2, they talk about more recent games. Toy Story 3 and Transformers: War For Cybertron are two toy-based titles that have no right to be good, but Anthony and Arthur strongly recommend them. Meanwhile, Matt’s tried Puzzle Quest 2 on the DS and iPhone. The DS’s stylus gives its touch-screen controls...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 192

by Jon Cole in Games702 days ago

Gamers with Jobs invites our very own Jonathan Downin to the show for his inaugural episode as both producer and podcaster, starting things off by giving him the floor to talk about games he’s been playing.  Alan Wake has been a popular choice among the GWJ crew, allowing Rabbit another chance to harp on about its excellent thriller elements.  Shawn talks a little bit about his time with Alpha Protocol, which he describes as an “uneven experience” due to inconsistencies between the reality of the world and the game mechanics. Jonathan gets...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 8: A Castro Situation

by Jonathan Downin in Games705 days ago

The Idle Thumbs Podcast lives! Chris and crew are back talking games. The absurdity of the new Guitar Hero leads into the potential coolness of Rock band 3. E3 starts tomorrow, and while Chris isn’t too interested in talking about the convention ahead of time, the guys do have to mention Project Natal and the disconcerting video that came out of Parade Magazine. Red Dead Redemption gets some time and there are some great stories here, including ones about bandanas, horse deeds, anti-Semitic shopkeeps and more. Chris also gets into his impressions...

Giant Bombcast 06-08-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games709 days ago

After a few quick drink taste tests, Red Dead Redemption dominates early parts of the conversation with the guys wondering how in the world Vinny spent 49 hours on the game. Jeff andRyan have been playing a lot of Green Day: Rock Band and as good as the game sounds, it still doesn’t do anyone any good if you aren’t a Green Day fan. Brad is almost baffled when asked what games he has been playing and can only manage to force out a couple thoughts on Doom II. Turning back to rhythm games, PowerGig takes up more time than it sounds like...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 191

by Jon Cole in Games709 days ago

Gamers with Jobs returns to regularly scheduled programming this week, starting things off with Shawn’s impressions of Alpha Protocol.  Despite his best efforts to like it, the game’s die-roll combat ultimately cut the legs out from under Obsidian’s latest.  Rabbit finally got a chance to dive into Alan Wake and shares his appreciation of the game’s tension, pacing, and horror elements. The news that Lord of the Rings Online is going free-to-play has certainly sparked a lot of excitement both among the MMO community and...

Game Scoop!: The Infamous Podcast

by Jonathan Downin in Games712 days ago

This one kicks-off with Greg’s displeasure with concept art that has come out for Infamous 2. He has some serious issues with the leads characters outfit. After a bit of Guitar Hero bashing, Daemon gets into his love for Joe Danger. Alpha Protocol also gets its requisite harsh words. In email the guys touch on a multitude of topics, but this one is especially notable because Greg has another classic story. This one revolves around him trying to deal with a non-existent burglar and almost stabbing a cat. Plenty of dating advice and Knockin’...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 11

by Alex Martin in Games714 days ago

Billy Berghammer’s back on Weekend Confirmed, replacing Jeff Cannata for this episode. He’s the first to tell what he’s been playing, and chooses to start with DJ Hero which he picked up on the cheap. He was frustrated by Super Mario Galaxy 2, but appreciates it nonetheless. Finally, he’s been reviewing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but can’t say much about it. Garnett, meanwhile, has not been enjoying Backbreaker — a highly flawed football game. He is looking forward to Blacklight: Tango Down, though. It seems...

Joystiq Podcast 141 – Big News edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games714 days ago

Chris is out again this week, and in his absence, it appears that the industry has decided to do nothing. There is just a week left until E3 starts, so the lack of news is pretty normal. The guys predict that this year should prove to be a big one for E3 reveals. With not much news, it’s all played games and emails. Ludwig kicks things off with talk about his time with DJ Hero. He picked it up on the cheap and is enjoying learning new rhythm game mechanics as apposed now ingrained guitar mechanics. Luddy also names Split Second his 3rd favorite...

The Geekbox: Episode 68

by Jon Cole in Games, TV715 days ago

A cast-light episode of the Geekbox results in a games-heavy first segment, leading with a game that Ryan considers his game of the year thus far, Super Mario Galaxy 2.  Most everyone in the games press has similar opinions on the game and Ryan seems to follow suit, praising the glorious level design that made the first so popular.  Karen manages to dig up one negative point though, highlighting the arbitrary method of progression in the overworld (requiring a certain number of stars to open new galaxies). The other big game of the week is Red...

A discussion about Dengar, a random bounty hunter from Star Wars, starts the show this week. Talk of the Modern Warfare 2 Game Night leads into an update on everyone’s Red Dead Redemption experiences. Stories of bugs and chance animal encounters set the tone. The Ghostbusters make it back into the conversation again this week with a video showing a crazy Ghostbusters pachinko machine in Japan. Voicemails and emails yield some fun topics including a potential “Owl Man” indie film, whether using guides is acceptable or not, and...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 190

by Jon Cole in Games716 days ago

Every so often, the Gamers with Jobs get together for Rabbitcon, a meetup designed to facilitate the eating of many ribs and the playing of many games.  As is custom, they take advantage of this strange physical contact to play a lot more board games than usual, which incidentally opens up this week’s podcast.  The most talked about game seems to be an adaptation of Battlestar Galactica, though they talk about quite a few other ones along the way including an Old West-style scenario and D&D 4th edition. Rabbit finally finished building...

Giant Bombcast 06-01-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games716 days ago

This week’s Bombcast is brought to you by a long Memorial Day weekend. Brad spent a good portion of the weekend playing Doom II on XBLA when he, like Vinny and Ryan, weren’t locked into Red Dead Redemption. Not having picked up on the craze of the other three, Jeff played a lot of kart racers, spending time with ModNation Racers and Blur. He also laments the game that Alpha Protocol could have been. After a little talk of Crackdown 2 from Brad and Vinny, a discussion takes place about whether or not Crackdown was even that good of a...
