Weekend Confirmed

Weekend Confirmed Episode 28

by Peter Barta in Games494 days ago

This week’s episode starts with an interesting twenty-minute debate regarding the merits of Guitar Hero vs Rock Band, and the future of music games in general.  Jeff’s been playing Enslaved, and is pleasantly surprised by the production value and fun factor.  Brian seems pretty underwhelmed by Dead Rising 2, and Garnett gives some insight on Front Mission Evolved. Brian actually suggests a game for Cannata-ford this week – Super Mega Worm for iOS devices.  Garnett thinks everyone should play Planescape Torment, and Jeff kinda...

Mobcast 65: Female Protagonists, Great Game Intros, and More

by Alex Martin in Games550 days ago

Bitmob editors Aaron and Demian host Micah Seff and Andre Segers, both of GameXplain. First, they discuss Activision’s aversion to female lead characters. Apart from the possible reasons for this, they talk about some of their favorite lead ladies. Aaron, whose house is apparently an arcade, asks what past consoles they regret not owning. They talk about what Nintendon’t and whether or not it’s worth picking up the consoles they missed. If you could travel back in time to the dawn of the video game era, what would you take with...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 6

by Alex Martin in Games651 days ago

The regulars — Garnett, Jeff, Brian, and Billy — have been playing the Halo: Reach beta. They sound excited about the new toys it brings, and don’t seem burnt-out on the nine-year-old series. They’re  not so sure about Tecmo Bowl Throwback though, with Garnett doubtful of the PSN and XBLA game’s value. Monster Hunter Tri gets a brief mention before the four can enthuse about Alan Wake. They’re only allowed to talk about the first “chapter”, but they fervently gush over what they can. Starcraft 2,...

at1UP: 02/09/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games731 days ago

Nascar (what?) kicks things into high gear this week and the mention of the Super Bowl spawns a conversation about the much more interesting Puppy Bowl. Moving into games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth sounds to be an interesting direction for the Ace Attorney series. Travis also talks about finding Mass Effect 1 saves online for import into Mass Effect 2. Mike talks about his trip to Vegas to see UFC Undisputed 2010 and then Justing talks about his B+ review of BioShock 2, which will be featured on this week’s Game Night....

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...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-23-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games835 days ago

A drunker than usual DGR crew warns us that it is very late and they may not make much sense this episode as they have been up late finishing the ZomBOOsical. A email from Australia gives the guys more details about how much it sucks to live there as a gamer as everything is incredibly expensive. The reviews segment is packed this week with downloadable titles Rock Band for the iPhone and Trine for PSN starting things off. Hilden has been playing a lot of Borderlands for the 360 and says he loves the loot factor. The retro review for the week is...

Drunken Gamers Radio 9-16-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games877 days ago

With Moe out for some undetermined reason, Hilden and John are running a two man show. Most of the week’s drunk dials relate to the feature presentation, so those are skipped in favor of just a few emails, including one asking the guys if they have a “cool down” game to end lengthy gaming sessions. The reviews this week kick off with Contra ReBirth for Wiiware, which both of the guys agree is a complete throwback to the 16-bit days in every respect. Next up is Raiden IV for the 360, which Hilden touts as much more intense than...

CAGcast #172: A Diabolical Unboxing

by Derek Lavigne in Games877 days ago

This week’s CAGcast kicks off with Cheapy recounting a bit of his trip to NYC that he had forgotten to mention last week including how thankful he was that he went for business class tickets. Cheapy also read a couple of emails that voiced their displeasure for them taking time out the previous week to talk about Howard Stern, to which Cheapy completely dismissed and called it one of the greatest experiences of his life. Both Cheapy and Wombat then discuss some new releases which include the two NHL titles, and go very quickly into NPDs for...

Joystiq Podcast 087 – SaFUNri edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1078 days ago

Justin is pouring some love on 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.  There are parts that are just completely ridiculous but they just add to the fun. Good rant here from the guys about PR people and shipping woes.  This leads into a discussion about game reviews.  If a game review comes out a week after the game itself, are you still interested in reading it? The highlight, by far, is Justin’s Wii and DS game reality quiz. He makes Chris guess which games from a Nintendo press release are real and which are fake.  Sorry Nintendo fans, but there...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 105

by Jonathan Downin in Games1120 days ago

Love ‘em or hate ‘em the guys are talking NPD sales numbers this week. Ps3 price drop seems inevitable at this point.  With the current economic climate and the sales of PS3 currently, it’s hard to see there not being a price drop in the first half of this year. Voice actor, Kari Wahlgren, from Prince of Persia is on the show with some behind the scenes game talk. We talk about MadWorld on the Wii, which is the best ultra gory black and white cel-shaded videogame coming to the Wii this year. Calling it now. The Music Store for...

The HotSpot 01/13/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1123 days ago

And Tor Thorsen is back!  It’s been a long time since we’ve heard that fast-talking pundit. A lot of hate for Juno off the top here, way to stay timely and topical guys. Skate 2 looks like a worthy follow-up to the first one and a welcome change from the Tony Hawks with an excellent video editor to capture your “junk-destroying” antics.  There is also some more CES talk in here, but we haven’t heard much from the gaming perspective so it’s okay, maybe. The guys have some thoughts on the EGM/1UP happening last...

Giant Bombcast 01-06-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1130 days ago

The boys are back after the break.  I really liked what they did with their game of the year podcast.  I wish others would follow in their footsteps.  It’s really gives a great inside view into what these guys think about their favorite games and why. The PS3 seems to have more big games than any other platform coming out this year.  I’m waiting for some surprise announcements from Microsoft on Xbox stuff for this year. Oh, and Lego Rock band?  What? The Giant Bombcast returns for the 200Crime with mustaches, AustraliaBux, Dave...
