Game Under Podcast Ep 48

Leak? What leak? In this all new content, Tom Towers replaces Phil Fogg with Tim Keenan, co-founder of Misfits Attic, of A Virus Named Tom fame. Everything is discussed, from Tim Keenan's French roots to his obsession with partial information. Despite this fetish, he goes into minute detail in all his answers. Check it out here.

Game Under Podcast Ep 47

We deciduously avoid the news this week and instead give final impressions of Tearaway and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. And... c'mon, who would not want to hear Tom Towers pass judgement on 50 Cent Blood on the Sand?

We also talk about the best end credits ever, sophomore slumps, narration in games and also argue about if this is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius for games.

Tom Towers also tips his upcoming review of Warlock 2.

Thanks for listening!

No Show This Week

Quite frankly, it was too nice a weekend to sit for 3 hours and record and then sit for 6 hours and edit. So we hope you enjoy our back catalog this Easter Weekend.

I have been enjoying 3D Dot Game Heroes quite a bit, and got a Vita, so expect some Tearaway impressions next show.

Thanks for listening.

Would you record a podcast when you could sit in the sun playing Vita looking at this?

Game Under Podcast 45

It's time for some Game Under Podcast Bingo. Check them off as we make references to:

Killzone
Deadly Premonition
Racism
Adam Sessler
Ian Bogost
Shakespear
Jesus
Doom
Half-Life 2

Besides the usual topics we also finally get into Broken Age and the week's news.  Never ones to avoid a good old chat about first-person shooters we use Homefront as an excuse to talk about the best and worst characteristics of the genre.

Thanks for listening.

Game Under Podcast 44

This week we had a plan, well actually we had The Plan, the recently greenlit game on Steam that is free, 200 MB and takes about 10 minutes to beat. In the spectrum of indy games, where Gone Home is a zero and Guacamelee is a 10, I put it in the middle of the spectrum, almost.  In any case, it would be worth your while to give it a play before hearing our impressions of it. Sincere apologies for forgetting to mention the PS2 game, KA (Mr. Mosquito).

We also reach back and have a Tom Towers Aural Review of Red Steel 2, which gives us good reason to re-examine the possibilities of alternate controls and the French.

1954 Alcatraz, a new game from German adventure game publisher Daedalic Games is also discussed.

Thanks for listening - Phil Fogg
