  1. Great podcast. Long time listener, first time caller.

    I don’t think we’ll see new consoles before 2013. I think we’ll see innovation with system features and interaction similar to the NXE change last year.

    The big 3 need to make their money back on their R&D costs, and allow the software developers to make their money on developing games. I’m sure they don’t want to learn to code for new consoles yet.

    Part 2 (or 3?) The Iphone is definitely a viable handheld gaming platform. It’s proven to be for more than just the technophile (sp?) gadgetfan type people. Big developers like EA and Gameloft are putting stuff out there, I can see this taking off even bigger than it already is.

    Oh, there you are Perry!

  3. The last remnant i did not finish not due to the game being hard but due to the game being the worst game of all time, i’m a big ff fan and like square enix and i was so excited there was a square enix game with a MA rating……RANT FOLLOWING AFTER…….. This game is horrible, FFXII on the PS2 has better graphics, The story is stupid, The dialog is r3tarted eg quote, at the start of the game you fall in a cave with this warrior chick…..she explains we are in a cave. and Rush says ” Cave?!?!”…… noob. Now i express the r3tarted dialog further after a 5-8 min conversation with the warrior chick in the cave…(alone) She asks Rush for his name, he looks both way and says…”me?!?!”. but thats not all whats screwed with the game, the most screwed is the battle system/gameplay, When your get a enemy encounter you are required to selected an attack with the A button (there is no chioce of not attacking) then you watch the battle and you win…. thats it you have no control. I couldnt even try to loss, all battles end in victory even if your main charater dies. Note: me and tom conpleted the the game from start to 1st boss defeated with pressing the A button 11 times. and last of all i paid $120 for this game!!!!!!!!!!…..RANT Over =/ =p

This week we’ve got some crazy statistics that says Red Teams beat Blue Teams. According to a study published last week in a Cyberpsychology & Behaviour journal, during a study of 1,347 matches between “elite teams” in Unreal Tournament 2k4 … and all things being equal, the red team won 55% of the time. Huh?

EA Gets Sued by…The People? The class-action complaint focuses on Electronic Arts’ actions since 2004, when Take-Two Interactive’s NFL 2K5 was released at a $19.99 price point and sold more than 2.9 million copies in the US, according to NPD figures.

Wii and USB! Someone browsing the web came across a Job posting for Nintendo of America. The job posting was for a “Software/Hardware Tester” who can execute a “test plan for Wii’s USB devices.”

Analysts baffled that GTA didn’t move Hardware. How does a game with such powers of popularity manage to NOT sell consoles? Truely a mystery, or expected?
