Played - Episode 45
Published by Mark September 13th, 2008 in Main Page.
Played is back again, making up for lost time with a beefy episode. First up is discussion of Ensemble’s disassembly, leading into whether Rare is actually living up to its astronomical price tag and how honest Microsoft is being about its commitment to Games for Windows. We have a bit of a disagreement about Bethesda’s reaction to Australia’s threats to ban Fallout 3, but no disagreement as to whether the iPhone is actually the best handheld gaming platform around (hint: it’s not).
As to what we’ve been playing, Liz has reenergized her dormant Viva Pinata addiction with the new Trouble in Paradise, and Chris has gone back to Call of Duty 4 and is both impressed and slightly dismayed. Mark found a lot to love in Spore if you stick with it, and was actually pleasantly surprised by Too Human–after initially being unpleasantly unsurprised.
I originally turned off comments because I was tired of dealing with the onslaught of spam. Since upgrading WP the spam filters appear to be working much more efficiently now. I figured it might be easier for people to comment on a particular episode so–hey why not.
Wooh, the comments section is working. I became a fan of Remo’s from the shackcasts, and am pleased to find him working his magic here.
I hope you guys can turn this into a proper games site ala gamespot or IGN!
Where is ep 46?
We’re recording E46 on thursday.
Which thursday? :O
We did record–but I’ve just had no time to slap it together as I’ve been working really hard on my Fallout 3 review. I did begin work (editing) on it last night and got about 1/2 through. Expect E46 tonight or tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay.
cool, look forward to hearing it!
