Game Industry Shout-Outs: Unique All Over Again

Every once in a while we take a break from our REPLY TO ALL weekly discussions to instead have our writers point out something in the game industry that has captured their attention lately. Brandon (H21) I’m giving a shout out to zombie game developers everywhere. Every time I begin to think the genre is growing stale and boring, I am consistently surprised by the different variations and versions that are coming out. Lollipop Chainsaw, Dead Island and there are [...]

REPLY TO ALL: The Memories of Christmas Past

It’s been a ridiculous fall so far and it keeps getting worse. But enough about this year. What Mega Release Holidays Season or Seasons stand out to you the most? Whether it was a console release or just a killer combination of games, which years were the best years and why? JP (JPizzle151) I will always remember the Christmas that I got my NES (I think it was 1986). I begged and begged my parents to get us one, and I [...]

REPLY TO ALL: What Time is It?

In this week’s REPLY TO ALL we get chronological. The past, present and future have all been featured as backgrounds of games, but everyone seems to prefer one over the other. What time period do you like your games set in and are their specific points or events in history that you’d like to se featured more prominently? James and Brandon from InGamingWeTrust.com join us. James (Copperskull) At first, I felt this was going to be a difficult question to answer, [...]

REPLY TO ALL: No ThAAAnks

This week’s topic takes a different spin on upcoming titles. Are there any AAA titles that are otherwise really popular that you have absolutely zero interest in? Justin L (JDevL) Since I’m on a Nintendo tear lately, I’m going to go ahead and pick on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Unless by some sort of game design miracle Nintendo decides to take a few risks with the Zelda formula, I’m not interested. I feel at this point I’ve played [...]

REPLY TO ALL: Your Stupid Accessories

We’ve all been suckered into a few great but mostly terrible accessories to enhance our favorite games. Where to even begin? Alex (streetalchemist) That’s an easy one. The gaming accessory I regret the most was the Reality Quest “Glove” controller for the original Playstation. This thing was awful. Sure it might have looked badass and made you feel a little bit like a cyborg, but it missed out on one major fact, it didn’t work worth a crap. If you strapped it [...]

REPLY TO ALL: Gut Check on Upcoming Releases Fall 2011

Joined by our friend Brandon (H21) from InGamingWeTrust.com we want to know what you know. Between E3, Gamescom, and PAX there has been plenty of new info on upcoming releases, this week let’s talk through any recent changes to your must buy or will not buy lists and what made you change your mind? Ethan (Wizardtrain187) What I’ve learned from the upcoming releases is that I definitely am not going to buy as many games as I thought, and Elder Scrolls: [...]

REPLY TO ALL: Misplaced Sidekicks

We’ve covered bosses and heroes before, so lets move on to sidekicks. Which “other characters” could actually be useful in other franchises? Maybe Tails is better suited in the Mario Kingdom? Ethan (Wizardtrain187) Tails would make the Mushroom Kingdom his b***h! The wide variety of familiars from Symphony of the Night pop into my head as useful side kicks in any game as they all have a special skill to supplement the player. Whether I am a huge fan of [...]

REPLY TO ALL: Video Games Get Blamed Again

Brandon (H21) returns as we take the REPLY TO ALL to a serious level. The recent shooting in Norway has brought out the anti video game evangelists again, with the shooter claiming Modern Warfare 2 helped him train for the event. If confronted with that argument (murder simulators aiding lunatics), how would you defend games and/or educate attackers of the medium in liue of the serious atrocities that occurred? Brandon (H21) I got a lot of great insight from the comments [...]

REPLY TO ALL: Co-op Gaming with Significant Others to Save the World

This week’s REPLY TO ALL  tries to involve our significant others into our gaming lives. If the fate of the world required you to play co-op with your significant other, what game would you choose and why? Be on the lookout for a special uninvited guest who drops the drunken hammer. Rob (Robeque) My significant other is not a gamer by any means. I think I might go with Viva Pinata. That way we are just building a garden together… [...]

Game Industry Shout-Outs: Violent Gold

It’s time to try something new, with The Horrible Show taking another week off this week and not everyone being a part of the podcast cast we decided to expand our Game Industry Shout-Outs to all of our writers. Here’s what has had our attention recently, good and bad, that is raising our voices over. Justin L (JDevL) I want to give a shout down to THQ for seemingly giving up on Red Faction after RF: Armageddon did not sell well at [...]
