And now, a short message We interrupt our (ir)regularly scheduled podcast to bring you this special announcement. As you probably haven't noticed, UncleGamer Radio has been incommunicado for the past week and a half, with no new episodes following E3. What happened? Where is the show? The answer to these questions is included in this three minute Public Service Announcement, brought to you by UncleGamer Radio. We've also got a special surprise for our listeners, telling you what to expect from our next episode. The more you know.

UncleGamer Radio - E3 Edition Day 4

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:49:29 -0500

Day four wraps up our E3 coverage, as the (former) biggest event in the gaming industry closes its doors and we start winding down. Today was spent with lots of hands on time with games we hadn't yet seen. Our E3 finale day was spent with such highly anticipated titles as Left 4 Dead, Lego Batman, Project Origin, Resistance 2, Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Halo Wars, and Lips. We also give you a wrap up on all things E3, including our Game of the Show, the studios that impressed us most, and the games that let us down.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:12:13 -0500

It's Day Three of our time here at E3, and today we got to focus on the one thing we were most excited about: The games!

A few games let us down, but one of them was the clear hands down winner for us, by far. We talk about our time with the games we played, and which ones will be worth your time and money. Thank you again for your support. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at feedback@talkingaboutgames.com

UncleGamer Radio - E3 Edition Day 2

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 03:40:56 -0500

We're back again from Sunny California to bring you another episode of UncleGamer Radio! OK, sort of. Due to circumstances beyond our control, Parris was unable to record the full show tonight. Instead, we're bringing you a series of recordings we made during our car trips throughout the day. These clips were taken as we were either driving to a press conference, or just leaving a press conference. Or both. Joining us in the car were Godfree from Gamertag Radio and Rodsmack from The10K Club. We talk about our predictions for upcoming press conferences, then follow it up with our reactions once the press conferences were done. Who was the heavy hitter? You might be surprised what we think about certain games. There's a little more cursing in the episode than normal, due to our sleep deprivation. Thank you again for your support. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at feedback@talkingaboutgames.com

On this week's show, we talk about the recent Call of Duty: World at War teaser trailer (it's really good) and Infinity Ward's rumored sci-fi shooter (seriously, did they listen to our show last week?). We also talk about Itagaki getting slapped with a gag order, Nintendo's big announcement about their big games for E3, and the upcoming 2.4 firmware for the PlayStation 3, which will bring in-game Cross Media Bar support.

UncleGamer Radio - Episode 81

Mon, 9 Jun 2008 05:47:38 -0500

Parris and Jay are back in front of the microphone this week with UncleGamer Radio, and boy, what a week this has been. First, we have news on Itagaki leaving Tecmo and suing them, followed by LucasArts laying people off left and right. As if that weren't bad enough, the downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV is being delayed for a few extra months. And to top it off, Sony announces their plans for in-game advertising, and offers a new for-pay content method. And sure, we talk about about all those topics. But the big ticket item this week is Afrika. No longer just an E3 trailer, the game was properly unveiled by Sony earlier this week. The real surprise, though, is what Parris has to say about it. Are you looking forward to Afrika? Do you have something to say about Itagaki leaving Tecmo? Do you have comments for us?? Send us a note at feedback@talkingaboutgames.com and let yourself be heard!

UncleGamer Radio - Special Interview

Tue, 3 Jun 2008 18:21:27 -0500

UncleGamer is bringing you a special episode this week, with a special interview from last week's Activision event. We sit down and talk to Will Townsend, Associate Producer at Red Octane, about Guitar Hero: On Tour. This latest entry in the franchise is a bit of a switch up, as it introduces the Guitar Hero concept to the Nintendo DS, a system not really known for its technical horsepower. Is GH: On Tour worth the time? What kind of ideas went into the game? And what's Will's favorite Star Wars movie? Listen to our interview for a quick 'look' at the game. If you'd like to give us your thoughts or comments, please feel free to email us at feedback@talkingaboutgames.com

UncleGamer Radio - Episode 79

Mon, 19 May 2008 06:05:17 -0500

This week, UncleGamer Radio is welcoming Rob Wright from Tom's Games as a guest host! Our show takes a little bit of a divergence this week, focusing entirely on two different events hosted last week. You probably know about Microsoft's Spring Showcase, which featured a few games coming out for the Xbox 360 later this year. But what you might not know is that Sony also held their Judge's Pre-E3 event as well, highlighting several of their key titles coming out in the next year, including Little Big Planet and Killzone 2. Parris and Rob each talk about their hands-on experiences with the games they were able to preview and talk about what games are going to be worth your time, and which gave them cause for concern. And are you worried about Banjo-Kazooie 3? If so, listen to our show for two different viewpoints on the game. On Saturday, May 24th at 2pm Pacific, we're bringing you UncleGamer Live! It's our inaugural Live show, and you'll have a chance to listen to our show as we record it live, as well as participate in our show via a Call In type setup. We'll have all the details on UncleGamer Live posted on our site and in our forums later today. We're hoping to hear your thoughts on this week's topics as well, so drop us a line at feedback@talkingaboutgames.com!

We also talk about the recently released Gears Of War 2 gameplay footage and which of us is in love with it, the Call of Duty 5 forthcoming launch (and our rants on it), and the Sony PlayStation Day. We also have a long 'discussion' about the PlayStation and how we're annoyed at the excessive hype that Sony is working up, only to leave the payoff lacking.

We also unveil our big surprise that's been a few weeks in the making: UncleGamer Radio Live! A week after the Microsoft Spring Showcase event, we'll be holding a Live call-in show via Skype. You'll be able to ask us your questions on the upcoming titles that Parris was able to preview, talk to us about the show itself, and more.
