Command Prompt Episode 61

by Jonathan Downin in Games877 days ago

It’s a day late, but Command Prompt made it out this week.  The PC version of Resident Evil 5 is now available and it has Steve and Jeff talking about how Capcom seems to have started taking their PC ports more seriously.  Majesty 2 also gets some time before Steve gets deep into Champions Online.  He has been playing the game a lot recently and he praises the intricate character creator. Command Prompt tends to be fairly MMO-heavy and things are no different this week with Steve talking about a piece he wrote concerning the top 10 problems...

CastMedium Podcast 002 – 09.07.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech887 days ago

So far, so good.  2 weeks in a row! Erik picked up Batman so he shares his experiences with the game up front here with us discussing how it is similar to BioShock and Too Human.  We then move onto Wolfenstein and lament the absence of a demo for the game.  The opinions about Sony porting the first 2 God of War games to PS3 aren’t universally positive and Erik understands how those Mobcast guys feel about losing interest in games.  Then Jon and I share some Basterds thoughts and we round out the cast with a little love for Sansa. The CastMedium...

CO-OP | Episode 211 – 1994 Part 2

by Jonathan Downin in Games893 days ago

First up this week is Wolfenstein.  This has been a game that seems to have caught many by surprise.  There was very little hype leading up to its release, but it has turned out surprisingly solid.  Although it does look to take some of the better mechanics from other games, with its focus on shooting things pan out into an enjoyable, if not somewhat old-school, experience. Spider for the iPhone takes the second slot and it doesn’t have the guys as enamored as past iPhone games.  Everyone feels like the gameplay is a bit repetitive, but...

Rebel FM Episode 31 – 08/28/09

by Jon Cole in Games896 days ago

This week, Tina Sanchez joins the Rebel FM crew, opening the first segment with Dawn of War II.  In preparation for the upcoming DLC, she’s been spending a little bit of time trying to master some of the levels from this Games for Windows Live RTS.  Arthur notes that Dawn of War II shares many basic elements with a game like Diablo 2 and is a great for newbies to the genre. Arthur talks about Guitar Hero 5 briefly, noting its constantly updating interface and feature list to bring it closer to Rock Band.  He also admires drop-in multiplayer,...

Joystiq Podcast 107 – Horatio edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games896 days ago

Batman has Justin all hot and bothered this week.  He has a lot of great things to say about the game and while Chris and Ludwig aren’t quite as high on it, they are enjoying it as well.  Justin does have problems with people saying that they don’t like stealth as a reason for not giving it a try. The guys touch on the recent Xbox price drop, but still aren’t feeling too good about Microsoft’s current pricing structure for their consoles and accessories. Alexander, from the Xbox 360 Fancast, comes on for a segment about...

Drunken Gamers Radio 8-23-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games898 days ago

Another week in the Team Fremont attic with the sultans of the sauce, John, Moe, and Hilden starts off as always with some entertaining drunk dials from all parts of the world. Moving from there into the mailbag, among the several hilarious letters  was a question about so-called fan sequels. Companies like Square-Enix have been squashing these projects and the listener wonders why they are doing this instead of possibly buying it. The DGR crew agrees with this notion, but brings up the point that these large companies may be too proud to accept...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 150

by Jonathan Downin in Games899 days ago

It’s the big episode #150 and to commemorate this special episode 2K Boston‘s Ken Levine is on this week.  The first topic covered here is Shadow Complex and everyone is loving it.  They don’t touch on the recent controversy here, but they do discuss it briefly later in the show with Ken chiming in with his take. The discussion topic this week is is centered around game design since Ken is on the show.  He doesn’t talk about his current project in any specific terms, but he does talk about his general design philosophy...

The HotSpot 08/25/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games899 days ago

It’s  a down-tempo edition of the HotSpot with no Tom Mc Shea or Tom Magrino this week.  First up is Batman Arkham Asylum which has proven to be a hit, with Justin Calvert giving it a 9.0 on GameSpot.  The fighting mechanics are simplistic, but still manage to be fun and the stealth seems to have been done right.  Wolfenstein doesn’t fare nearly as well. The HotSpot may be last podcast to be touching on the big announcements from Gamescom since their last episode was recorded just before Sony’s conference took place.  The...

Rebel FM Episode 30 – 08/20/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games904 days ago

Starting out this week’s episode Tyler is talking about his ongoing love affair with Civilization 4 after getting into the Colonization expansion.  He has also been playing Champions Online which he is having trouble getting into and the guys discuss the many problems of WET. This week’s topic of the week centers around the announcement of the PS3 slim and the implications of the new $299 price point.  There are a lot of opinions flying around, but one unique point that is brought up is about the size of the slim and Sony’s decision...

Giant Bombcast 08-18-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games906 days ago

Great news– more Shadow Complex talk!  This game is almost talked-out, but Ryan is one of the few with a less than glowing opinion.  While he is enjoying the game in short bursts, he says that he just can’t play it for over 45 minutes in a sitting.  Although this is not completely positive, it’s not exactly scathing commentary. This may be the first time we’ve heard any real skepticism about Brutal Legend.  Vinny and Brad are sharing some of the finer details with Jeff and Ryan here and Jeff in particular is not liking...

Giant Bombcast 03-31-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1046 days ago

Jeff isn’t to pleased with Punch Out!! and he is being very candid about it.  The graphics looks great, but it is the same thing as the old ones and the old ones were just pattern recognition games are his arguments.  Yet he still says he likes the old ones and will buy the new one, figure that out. It’s good to hear some pretty positive things about Dragon Age: Origins as some have shared some concerns.  It’s time for another huge Bioware PC RPG, let’s hope this delivers. Vinny has played through Resident Evil 5 twice...
