Podcast Beyond: Clubbing in Japan

by Jon Cole in Games497 days ago

Ryan makes a triumphant return for this week’s Podcast Beyond, starting things off with the Roper Report as always. Zombie mode was announced for Call of Duty: Black Ops, which garners a bit of interest among the Beyond crew due to Treyarch’s good work with Nazi Zombies in the past. Crushing Japanophiles’ hearts everywhere, Square-Enix has gone out on a limb and confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 3 would not be released next year despite the ten-year anniversary of the original. The topic of the week is stories from TGS, courtesy of...

Podcast Beyond: Free Games

by Jon Cole in Games515 days ago

After a glorious weekend at PAX Prime, Beyond is back to report on the biggest Playstation news of the week. In honor of PAX, Greg starts off the show with some stories about his time there, considering the fact that he spent much of his time as a community envoy rather than a journalist. At about 17:30, the guys get into the show proper, namely with the Roper Report. The 15th Anniversary of the Playstation is obviously one of the most notable news of the week and causes the guys to reminisce a little about their PS past. Otherwise, Duke Nukem Forever...

Rebel FM Episode 69 – 07/22/10

by Alex Martin in Games565 days ago

Jim Reilly (IGN) joins Anthony, Arthur, Matt, and Tyler on the podcast too classy to for its 69th episode to be a source of amusement. Anthony kicks it off with Darkstar One. It’s a space combat sim with some trading and a lot of boring grinding. He’s enjoying grinding in DeathSpank though. Gravity Crash is a brightly colored, 2D space shooter he’s playing on the PSP. He has the low-down on Darkspore too — it’s a Diabolo clone with less customizability than the original Spore. Jim, a quiet guy, brings sounds down on...

Drunken Gamers Radio: 06.27.2010

by Jon Cole in Games589 days ago

John is out of the studio this week, leaving Drunken Gamers Radio with the dynamic duo of Hilden and Moe.  A sad yet hilarious Tom Petty concert story starts things out, leading directly into the “real” show through Drunk Dials. Reviews begin with Hilden’s impressions of Dragon’s Lair for the Blu-Ray, which ultimately boils down to a recommendation if you’re into Dragon’s Lair and you want to see the game in glorious hi-def.  Tilt To Live tickle’s Hilden’s hate bone for tilt controls on iPhone, but...

Mobcast Episode 47

by Jon Cole in Games681 days ago

The Mobcast for this week marks yet another podcast in David Ellis’s final crusade before diving deep into the dark side at 343 Industries.  First up is Shoe’s topic, asking what life after games journalism might be like, which is particularly interesting given the diverse paths each of the guys took to get into the industry. Very few developers have found widespread success with multiplayer, with much of the attention focused on games like Call of Duty and Halo.  Most of the guys agree that most of this failure can be attributed to...

Player One Podcast – Episode 172 (02/08/10) – Blowin’ Cartridges

by Ross Adams in Games731 days ago

A fairly quick what you been playing segment this week, all of the guys have been a bit busy. Greg Sewart has been making his way through Spirit Tracks, a significantly better game than Phantom Hourglass in his and Phil’s opinion. CJ picked up White Knight Chronicles, he seems to be enjoying it but most of the discussion is spent comparing the game to everything from Vagrant Story to Animal Crossing. With the shorter first segment the rest of the show is taken up by listener tweets. Someone asks for opinions on the announcement of Sonic 4...

CO-OP — Episode 314: Reflections 2009 Part 1

by Derek Lavigne in Games752 days ago

It may be well into the new year, but the guys at Area5 haven’t forgotten about 2009 just yet. This week they lapse from their normal formula and head back to the format of the very first episode of CO-OP, a bunch of friends sitting around talking about their favorite games of the year. After a quick stop on games with twitter integration, open world games become the first focus of conversation. David Ellis of 1up cites Infamous as one of his favorites, while Kat Bailey recounts her first experience with Red Faction: Guerrilla.  Two heavy...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 146: Potpourrat

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV766 days ago

It’s a “top 5″ extravaganza this week with the guys presenting their lists of top 5 movies, games, TV and moments of 2009. After each present their top 5, an overall top pick is chosen. Movies are up-front as always, and it is pretty easy to guess which film took top honors– something about being “moved by triumph.” The games section is a little more contentious with a rather wide range of games represented, but it is a clear choice in the end. TV is a strange one as there are very few repeat entries on the guys’...

Mobcast Episode 35

by Jon Cole in Games766 days ago

Bitmob’s own Aaron Thomas and Demian Linn are joined by Matt Chandronait and Anthony Gallegos to usher in the new year, but carry along a little bundle of memories from the last.  With such being the case, the guys discuss their biggest surprises and disappointments of 2009, starting off with Aaron who was disappointed by Uncharted 2.  The game didn’t necessarily appall him, but the seemingly unanimous hype among the media built up his expectations to a point where the smallest blemishes appeared that much bigger. Matt brings a particularly...

CastMedium Podcast 018 – 01.04.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech766 days ago

We are back with our 1st podcast of 2010, but things start a little rocky with us being hit by another audio software crash. It’s listenable, and gets better in the 2nd half, so stick with it. The discussion starts with more Podcast Awards talk, and we find ourselves talking about 4 Guys 1UP again– hey, it won runner-up for best new podcast of ’09 for a reason. Bayonetta is the only new release this week, and we don’t care. Back catalog stuff takes center stage again this week with some frustration with Uncharted 2, love...

CO-OP – Episode 311: 10,000 Deaths by 1,000,000 Bullets

by Jonathan Downin in Games773 days ago

There are no new releases to be had until the new year begins, so the CO-OP guys take the opportunity to do a more topic-focused show this week. The topic centers around first person shooters and what keeps them coming back to certain titles in the genre. The usual suspects are represented here with Modern Warfare and Halo receiving a lot of nods, but the group does get into some of the finer points about different approaches developers take, and the importance of community. Valve gets a lot of appreciation here for how they have handles Team Fortress...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #108

by Jon Cole in Games778 days ago

The GameSpy Debriefings checks in right before the holidays with a Game of the Year-focused episode.  This year, they made the controversial choice of making platform awards available only to platform exclusives with a separate multiplatform award for games that are spread around. Since the 360-exclusive offerings were a little bit thin, GTA: Episodes of Liberty City was an easy choice for the crew.  The PC game of the year was also a fairly easy choice, but Plants vs Zombies surprised a lot of readers because the ineligible Dragon Age PC was...

Player One Podcast: Episode 163 (12/07/09) – Middle West

by Ross Adams in Games794 days ago

Greg Ford doesn’t stick around for long this week, but before he leaves, Greg Sewart wants to finally discuss the finer points of Modern Warfare 2′s story. Neither think the story is great, but agree that it has some excellent set-pieces, they are also both enjoying the spec ops exclusive levels. With Ford gone the rest of the gang move onto tweets and voicemails, a good range of topics this week, from the new Medal of Honor reboot to the recent EGM announcements. As the show moves into the second segment CJ is excited to finally talk...

Player One Podcast: Episode 159 – CJ is Missing!

by Jonathan Downin in Games823 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 &...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 160

by Jonathan Downin in Games827 days ago

The Gamers with Jobs guys have always skewed towards the PC more than many others, so Torchlight is what has the group excited this week. The biggest pulls of this game continue to be its ability to suck you in, along with its $20 price point, and both aspects are duly are appreciated here. Forza 3 has been a surprise hit with the guys, and Uncharted 2 coop gets some negative comments. There is no topic of the week with Rob sitting in for Shawn. Instead, the guys for a more free-form discussion which leads into releases of this holiday season, the...
