Player One Podcast

The shame in our game This week we return to a topic brought up in the last 'cast: our greatest gaming shames. In the final segment of the podcast we share some things we're not proud of. And joining in the fun is this episode's special guest, freelance writer Dan Dormer, who shares an inexplicable shame -- playing a bad/painful game not only to the end, but over and over again to see its multiple...

It's a Cube, not Box nor Station This week we take a look back at an old friend called GameCube as he gasps his final breath on Tuesday with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Phil Theobald joins us as we talk about third party support, Nintendo's own lack of great games, farming out of the classics to second-party developers, the lack of a "real" Mario game and more. Also in t...

This week marks our return to a regular posting schedule.

Next up we talk about the Wii. It's only two weeks old and they've sold over a million units...

This week it's all about Xbox 360: Year One. The ups, downs, and everywhere in between.

So much more that this is a much longer show that normal. Also interspersed within the show are various interviews CJ did with people...

It's a crazy-stuffed episode for an insanity-filled hardware launch week. In this episode, we: - Talk about what we've been playing, mainly Gears of War and Wii since CJ got some extended playtime with Zelda and Excite Truck this weekend. - Talk about PlayStation 3 launch games being delayed/canceled in the last week and what that could mean for the system's short-term future. - After a quick musi...

In this episode ex-video game journo Chris and freelancer extraordinaire Greg: - Blatantly thieve the "what'cha been playin'" segment popular in many podcasts and use it to talk about Final Fantasy XII, Sam & Max, Phantasy Star Universe, Elite Beat Agents, DDR and Strawberry Shortcake(!). - Talk about preorders. Gears of War, the various Halo 3 editions, and Gamestop's ability to sell you slips of...
