GameHounds

Yes, finally... Finally, we have a resolution to our podcast server issues and we are back in control of our destiny. Firstly, thank you for all your patience! It was a stressful week for me, as there was a constant drumbeat of "Gotta get the podcast out" going on in my head. Second, I'd like to welcome all our new listeners from the new Blackberry Podcasts — a new service that Research In Motion...

Hey, it's a bit late, but it's here. And that's what's important.   This week, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers do what they do best: Chatter aimlessly and make jokes... oh, no wait, we mean talk about the week's headlines in gaming news.   Topics include: Bioware debuts Dragon Age 2 at Comic-Con. Microsoft defends its price of the new Kinect . They say $150 is comparable to what you'd spend on a Play...

If you ever had any doubt what game Holy Goalie wants to be playing right now, just think: Tetris 21112. What the hell does that mean? You'll just have to listen to this week's show to find out. Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers hit the top stories of the week in gaming, with topics like: Holy Goalie has a guest appearance on . Check it out! Netflix will be . Canada starts. Coming update for Red Dead R...

We are delusional, and don't a single one of you point it out to us!   This week, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers are joined by a very, very sane Tony of The Rumble Pack to review news of the week. On the other side of the table, Goalie and Edie are raving, barking mad. Want proof, just listen.   In their lucid moments, topics include: Screenshots of the supposedly l eaked new Xbox Dashboard appeared...

It's an end and a beginning. An alpha and an omega. It's the final show for Cooper Hawkes, but the first show after we've announced a new website. So it's a celebration and a sad goodbye. It's also a really, really good show. Edie Sellers and Holy Goalie are joined by Hawkes one last time to talk up news of the week in gaming. There's a lot to take in, and Hawkes is in unusually rare form — remind...

Finally we get through the lion's share of what we saw at E3.   In this episode, Hawkes, Goalie and Edie finish up the Big Three by mulling the Kinect and dissecting what Nintendo brought to the table. Then then launch into a review of the games Edie saw at E3, including: Rock Band 3; Kane and Lynch 2; Fallout New Vegas; Fable 3; Dance Central; Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood; Tron Evolution; Golden...

Part one?! What the hell?!   Yep. This week, Edie Sellers, Holy Goalie and Cooper Hawkes delve deep into the E3 press offerings from Sony and Microsoft... and then they run out of time. So the rest of the wrap up will have to wait until next week.   Don't worry, you'll get all the details. Patience is its own reward.   And this show is chock full of review and commentary about what Sony has up its...

We were up until 4 a.m. the night before we left for E3 to get this show up for you. We slaved over a hot stove for hours , and then we walked three miles in the rain to bring it to you.   Well, the first part of that is true.   And thus we have the latest episode of Gamehounds, replete with Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers and featuring special guest host, Mr. Maynard. With little news due to E3 comi...

You know what's wrong with enough podcast? Not enough boobs.   We rectify that shortage this week as Cooper Hawkes takes a week off. In his place, Leah from Some Other Podcast comes by to visit and talk about what's important to her... boobs, main. And games. Yeah, games. Lots of games.   In addition to chatting about boobs, Leah, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers discuss: A short, early review of Alan...

Now, really, who doesn't want a cougar? Especially if you're playing Red Dead Redemption?   This week, we chat about Rockstar's new Wild West–themed game, as well as Alan Wake (sort of) and a revisit to Oblivion.   In addition, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers review the week's news, including: Lionhead Studio confirms that Fable 3 is coming to PC, but without a collector's edition. Hrm...

This week, we have another very special guest. And this one has a banhammer with him.   Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement at Xbox Live, joins Holy Goalie, Cooper Hawkes and Edie Sellers to talk about how Microsoft keeps Xbox Live like a motel toilet — safe and sanitized for your protection. He answers questions about how the work is done, what part of his job gives him a big, fa...

Why are we singing the praises of Homerun Challenge? Because this week we have a guest: Matt Davis of Barkers Crest, developer of HRC, as well as Avatar Golf. He hangs out with us answering questions about both his Xbox Live Marketplace indy games and about the indy development world.   In addition, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers also chat up the news. Including: Electronic Arts says...

Another great episode is here, folks, brought to you fresh and steaming hot by your hosts, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers.   This week we, again, have lots to talk about. The industry is gearing up for E3 and we are right there with it. We may very well be the only entity in gaming that's not suing each other!   In this show we talk about: The Halo Reach beta goes live — and then does...

Wow. What a week. So much to talk about, so little time.   This week, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers chat up the good, bad, and ugly in the gaming news world. Topics include: Our thoughts on Left 4 Dead 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, the Alan Wake prequels , the Split Second demo, and Peep shoes. Goalie interviews Turtle Beach about its new X-11 headset and offers his impressions. The U...

Wait. Episode 107?! Did you miss an episode?   No, you didn't. We did. Want to find out what happened to Episode 106? Well, you'll just have to listen to this week's show. In addition to Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers discussing what happens when you pick the wrong directory for file clean-up, the awesome duo discuss: Hawkes interviews Dark Energy Digital about their upcoming XBLA game, Hydrophobia...

Hey! Two weeks and two episodes?! Why, this isn't the GameHounds we know!   OUR GameHounds takes two weeks off, then uploads an overly long episode and then disappears again.   Yes, this is *your* GameHounds. And yes, we are back on a normal schedule. Sort of.   Starting this episode, we will be a mid-week show, debuting each Wednesday. No more long weekend nights putting together the show for you...

  That took a whole lot more time than I thought.   We knew it would be a big show, but only when we strung together all the audio did we realize we were cresting two and a half hours of content!   PAX East was amazing! And full of great games and things to see. In this episode, we take you on the floor and into the halls of PAX to hear a whole buncha-buncha interviews with developers and peripher...

He is! We swear. Richard Simmons is the voice of NATAL!! You read it here first. Tell all your friends. Blog the heck out of it.   But first, listen to the show.   On this show, Cooper Hawkes, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers give you the latest dirt and dish in the gaming industry, including: Sony officially announces the Sony Move -- or as we call it,  The Motion Controller Formerly Known as the Son...

Oh my god,  you guys! I'm so sorry!   I got so distracted by the tons of crap going on in my real life that I totally spaced and forgot to post the GameHounds episode. I uploaded it to the server, and then I forgot to actually post it!   So, this week, we were Hawkesless. Edie Sellers and Holy Goalie pick up the pace with a full  week of gaming news, including: Nintendo officially debuts the DSi X...

It's a sad day for the GameHounds gang.   This latest Humpdate, for February 24, 2010, will be the final Humpdate.    It's been a laborious thing making two shows a week, and we've enjoyed every minute of it. But it was a labor of love that we wouldn't change a bit. If you think about all the amazing things that the Humpdate has been, it's a bit mindboggling. After starting out as a two-man show,...

It's a new day on GameHounds.   This week, Holy Goalie debuts as a permanent host of the show. Which is very much like when he subbed in. But it's still awesome.   Goalie, Edie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes talk up the gaming news of the week, including: MTV reports that Bioshock is causing problems for those with colorblindness . Wanna see what that looks like ? Red Octane closed by Activision , as i...

Yes, it's that time again. First time in four years, and Microsoft holds an X10.   We attended X10, courtesy of GamingAngels.com. GamerEdie Sellers chats about what she saw and tried and who she talked to. Full coverage — far more in depth than what is here — can be found at GamingAngels.com.   This week, Edie, Cooper Hawkes and Commander Tim chat about: More Mass Effect 2 analysis. Bioshock 2 for...

Yes, you've waited two weeks to find out what the GameHounds think of Mass Effect 2.

Late for work! Sorry no time for notes. Edie, Hawkes, Goalie. Enjoy.

The Humpdate this week is full. Please move on. No, I take that back. Please stay. Stay, put your feet up and listen to four great shows brought to you by the GameHounds staff. The SportsHound WillG gives us the lowdown on Madden 10 Ultimate Challenge, Mr. Maynard reviews Track Mania and give his suggestions for great free PC games, Holy Goalie digs deep into the XM Radio application for the iPhon...
