Player One Podcast: Episode 158 – Castro the Friendly Ghost

by Jonathan Downin in Games928 days ago

First up is some sad news about a recent loss within the gaming community. Once the guys move on to game talk, Modern Warfare starts the conversation in relation to violence in games. We will all have to wait and see how Infinity Ward handles this in the game before making final judgments, but the guys offer some good, insightful discussion here. The DSi XL gets a fairly cool reaction here, much as it has everywhere else. The bottom line is, this is not for us. After a long absence, the Game Club segment makes a return with the Halloween inspired...

Idle Thumbs 49: Bargo Busters

by Jonathan Downin in Games932 days ago

It’s a Torchlight extravaganza. After their special “podblast” interview with Runic Games’s Max Schaefer, the Diablo successor is again the center of attention. Chris is loving the game and it shows, with a full 30+ minutes spent discussing the game. It sounds like the Runic crew have put together a worthy update of the dungeon-crawler formula, and it is a steal at $20. An MMO version is in the works as well, so there is a lot to look forward to. Uncharted 2 receives some more discussion time. This leads into a focus on voice...

CAGcast #176: Uprage!

by Derek Lavigne in Games933 days ago

After a one week hiatus due to Wombat having family health issues, he and CheapyD are back for another CAGcast. Cheapy  shares his experience with the Windows 7 Whopper, which he posted a video of on Youtube. Before getting into actual news, Wombat shares his experience raising money for Sarcastic Gamer’s Extra Life charity event. Cheapy has been playing a lot of Forza 3 since it was released in Asia the previous week and says he is really enjoying it, pointing out the rewind feature as a great addition. Wombat has been spending a lot of...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 159

by Jonathan Downin in Games933 days ago

Brutal Legend is the first game discussed this week with Lara Crigger joining the podcast and offering here rather negative opinion. Other seem content with passing over the “mediocre” gameplay since the story and characterization is so strong. Panzer General: Allied Assault has a couple of the guys excited, and Borderlands has converted a few more. Sean Sands and Shawn Andrich have been playing the game, but Shawn is saving the conversation until next week so Sean Sands can join in. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Uncharted 2 are touches...

Giant Bombcast 10-27-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games934 days ago

The Bombcast again starts off this week on bigger name recent release with Vinny discussing his experience with Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time. Talk of a recent press event that Vinny and Brad went to for Army of Two: The 40th Day then leads to a discussion on the merits of pre-order and pack-in bonuses, which all the guys seem to agree are largely a negative trend.  Afterwards, Jeff shares his excitement for DJ Hero, which seems to clear up his previous skepticism. News starts off once again with talk of the Modern Warfare 2 PC server controversy,...

Joystiq Podcast 114 – Funny last names edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games938 days ago

Chris is out this week, so now the cast is down only 1 of its regular hosts, Ludwig. As he tends to do, Griffin is sitting in, and special guess Tom Chick fills-out the 3rd chair. After last week’s discussion of his controversial review it’s nice that they brought him on to discuss the game. Girffin starts out with World of Warcraft and his single-player approach to the game. The guys touch briefly on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 before they move onto the real draw this week, Uncharted 2. Tom talks about his review and then the group goes...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-18-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games938 days ago

This week’s show starts off as usual with a drunk dial and a rather large mail bag. One listener writes in to tell DGR that Australia has it even worse with the PSPgo than the US, as they are getting less content for a higher price. Hilden is baffled as to how Sony can’t support an entire continent. Another listener thanks the guys for the advice on playing Saturn import games that they gave a few weeks ago. The reviews segment this week is packed full of the big releases from the past couple of weeks. While Afrika and Brutal Legend...

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...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 112

by Jonathan Downin in Games939 days ago

Sega has confirmed that they are bringing out an updated version of the racing classic, Daytona USA. The new HD version will be titled Sega Racing Classic, but it has yet to be confirmed outside of an arcade release. Gran Turismo gets a bit of discussion before Greg decides that he wants to break the record for consecutive hours of GTAIV play. The guys talk about Borderlands and then move onto Uncharted 2. Everyone is still singing the praises of Uncharted 2 and this leads into a discussion of PS3 having the best exclusives of the year. DJ Hero...

Out of the Game, Ep. 15

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies939 days ago

It’s a 3-man show this week with Jeff out for this one. Starting with movies, District 9 takes up good portion of the beginning of the show with Robert finally getting around to seeing it. The impressions are positive all-around with some misgivings about the buddy-flick nature of the last 1/3. Shawn predicts that this will turn into a trilogy. The discussion stays in the realm of movies with the central topic turning towards special effects and CG versus practical executions. Uncharted 2 starts the game talk, but they are holding off the...

Idle Thumbs 48: In Space

by Jonathan Downin in Games940 days ago

Infinity Ward has announced that the multiplayer in the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 will not have dedicated servers support. The guys speculate that this is a way for them to stave off piracy. This decision has the Call of Duty PC fanbase up-in-arms. Our own Jon Cole wrote an article on this very issue which was featured on Bitmob.com, so check it out. Chris is still enjoying Demon’s Souls despite its rigid difficulty. He describes it as meaningful difficulty though, as it is not just cheap kills, but rewards actual skill. Chris has written...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 158

by Jonathan Downin in Games940 days ago

Brutal Legend legend starts off the game talk this week and it is characterized here in a way that seem extremely fitting after seeing the critical reception. The guys state the the gameplay is used as a story delivery system more than anything else. While it is fun, what really drives the game is the story and characterization. Uncharted 2 also commands a fair amount of time with a similar discussion revolving around the success of creating believable and entertaining characters through not just voice acting, but animation and character acting...

CO-OP – Episode 301: An Age of Wonder

by Jonathan Downin in Games941 days ago

It’s the start of a new season of CO-OP, and it’s the same– but that’s not a bad thing. New Super Mario Bros.Wii starts things off and the guys are excited about its multiplayer prospects. They may be going a little far by saying that it is like Super Mario Bros. 4 though. Matt takes over the 2nd segment with a trip to the office of Gaijin Games to interview the indie developer about their forthcoming WiiWare game, Bit.Trip Void. While the game probably isn’t on many people’s radar, it is cool to see an indie...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 135: Tit For Tat

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV941 days ago

The first movie up this week is Where the Wild Things Are. There was a lot of anticipation for this movie considering its roots and director. The guys praise the look that Spike Jonze achieved, but it just didn’t have the “Je ne sais quoi” factor that they were hoping for. On the other hand, Jeff and Dan are raving about Paranormal Activity, with Jeff calling it one of the best executed films he has ever seen. Uncharted 2 takes up the whole game section and everyone loved it. Dan states that he felt the story was actually less...

CastMedium Podcast 008 – 10.19.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech942 days ago

We are a little leaner on topics this week, but we have realized that even if we only had 1 topic, we could easily fill 30 minutes. Uncharted 2 starts off the game talk this week. The reception of the game has been overwhelmingly positive, aside from Tom Chick’s review over at Crispy Gamer. Erik finished the game and has a lot of great things to say about it, but he feels like Chick’s review has a lot of strong points to add to the discussion. Jon is halfway through Brutal Legend and shares his praise for the game. Brutal Legend’s...
