Lots of great news in this weeks gaming podcast thanks to the holiday season approaching. We also take a retro style flashback to Space Invaders and talk about our attendance at the popcap launch party for Bejeweled Twist and a very light preview of our initial Guitar Hero World Tour impressions.This weeks news includes:
- EA breaking the sequel and sports games mold
- Activision/Red Octane feeling the pain of creating plastic instruments
- E for All officially canceled
- World of Warcraft hits 11 million subscribers
This weeks soapbox segement, we ask the question, does unlimited level creation cause bad press in video games?
I’m here in Seattle Washington awaiting tonight’s Bejeweled Twist launch party. It was a long trip considering Chicago’s the leading city for airport traffic and the wind didn’t allow for a speedy departure. Arriving at 2:00 a.m left me cold, hungry and in dire need of sleep.
