Eddie, Dan, and Mike chat about the movings and shakings of the industry: trends in game design/consumption and the holiday inundation.
Eddie Inzauto, Dan Crabtree, and Mike Murphy take this pre-holiday-rush opportunity to discuss games that indicate shifts in the industry, then go on to express their disdain for the lopsided yearly videogame release schedule, as well as suggest ways to approach such gamer problems. Catherine, L.A. Noire, Heavy Rain, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, Bastion, and more all find their way into this month’s show.
Intro theme, “Dungeon” by Koji Kondo for Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda, 1987. Remixed by Brian Schulman and Charles Kantz, 2010. Outro, “Rapunzel” by Shoji Meguro, Kenichi Tsuchiya, Atsushi Kitajoh, Pablo de Sarasate for Atlus’ Catherine, 2011.
