Game RAge Radio Episode 6

well were finally all back from winter break and the stars aligned and we were able to record a new show. This is the first show from new location at Chris's new apartment were are still getting used to acoustics of the room which is much larger then the dorm room we originally did the show from. So there is a slight bump in quality which will be worked on in the next episode.

we cover what we played on our winter breaks, then we dive into terrible game glitches. We get a little idealistic at the end but that always something to strive for.

Silence of the Podcasts


Well today UGO bought 1up.com and then proceeded to layoff 40 staff members. Many of those staff members were responsible for the 1up show video podcast, and the various 1up podcast. Seriously what the fuck.. they bought the 1up brand, but the brand is known for their other various forms of video game media. Which fostered a strong  user community that gathered around that media.  Only time will tell how this is going to turn around such negative publicity. 

many of the ex staffers are on twitter so find their pages and continue to fallow their exploits. Best of luck to all former journals and layoff survivors.  Tina the community manger for 1up is going to have her work cut out for her, if she can keep the community together in these desperate  times. 

today was a bummer to say the least

iPhone Games

I just downloaded the Super Monkey Ball game for the iPhone and have to say it's pretty fun. Not sure yet if it was worth $7.99 but time will tell. The controls use the phones accelerometer to control the game and at times can be extremely frustrating to get a good feel for. I don't think I'll be paying for many more apps or games after this because the ease with which I spent $7.99 on this seems like something that could become a dangerously expensive habit. Even $.99 at a time can add up quickly for cheaper items. So if you can go with the free games. I recommend Scramboni, a word puzzle game that pits you against other players and Lock n Roll, a dice based game that is simple yet addicting. Tap Tap is also a good one. It's like guitar hero for the iPhone. Until next time kids....
