The Video Games Show

This week we are live from the St. Louis Game Jam!  Come join us as we talk all about what the St Louis (and Global) Game Jams are all about.  As everyone was incredibly busy churning out their creations we didn't have a chance to talk to many participants.  We did, however, get to speak to a veritable legend of the gaming industry, John Ratcliff, about his upcoming game Duatiu.  Come check out th...

We can finally take a final headcount on the barrage of hacker attacks that have plagued all sorts of game companies.  For as much as hacking in the gaming industry has sucked, at least one of the hackers got a job... at facebook.  Come join us for all this and more on this week's Video Games Show!

This week brings more news on the Wii U, hackers galore, and Bobby Kotick:  Hollywood Star.  We also take some time to discuss our take on the new Duke Nukem Forever, as well as the new Red Faction game.  Come join us for a super-moist episode of the world-famous Video Games Show!

As E3 wraps up we watch and talk about Nintendo's proverbial bombshell, the Wii U.  Of course we don't dedicate the whole show to this; we also have plenty of other news, reviews, and more!  Time to sit down for a Post-E3 wrap-up courtesy of the world-famous Video Games Show!

And so the E3 extravaganza begins!  After an entire day of watching press conferences we are here to filter through the hype and fanfare to tell you about what you need to know.  We cover the Microsoft, Sony, Konami, and Ubisoft conferences.  Next Monday we will cover the last few conferences (including Nintendo) as well as any news from the floor that comes up.  It's a mad news day here at the wo...

With E3 right around the corner, Rich and Kraft cover the impending hype and rumors.  This week we hear from Sony about why people are unreasonable in thinking they are in the wrong, we talk about why Sonic might not be coming to the Wii, and we explore the DOUBT option in LA Noire.  Join us for all of this and more on this week's all new Video Games Show!

This week we jump in to our new earlier timeslot.  While that doesn't affect our podcast listeners, it does make a difference for people tuning in live.  Remember that you can listen to us from 3-5PM CST on umslradio.com  This week we talk about the PSN network coming back online, rumors of Modern Warfare 3 and more.

Alright, I feel bad for our 321 joke episode.  Apparently some people didn't find it nearly as funny as we did.  As a consilatory gesture we've decided to give everyone a taste of what the Android App owners get as bonus content.  Not a ton of video game related material, but we hope you enjoy it none the less.

As it is finals week we were not planning on doing a show.  Of course we couldn't leave every totally hanging, so here is an abridge episode of VGS delivering all of the big news!  Just an FYI, it is a good week to own our android app :)

With all of the crazy news going on lately (royal weddings, dead terrorists, tornadoes and more) it was easy to miss news about the catastrophic soap opera that was the Playstation Network Saga.  Rich and Kraft take you through a 2 week timeline giving a blow-by-blow of what actually happened.  After an hour-long breakdown of events (trust me, it isn't boring) we get to non-Sony news.  Also, as an...

In a surprise move we decided to take our show on the road!  We found out that there was a video game developer meetup here in our home town of St. Louis so Rich and Kraft crashed the party and ate all the mozzerella sticks.  That's how we roll.  Kidding aside, we talk to some established and up-and-coming game developers from our home town!  Joining us on the air this week is Graphite Lab, Six3Si...

On this edition of VGS, hosts Rich and Kraft respond to some interesting complaints regarding the previous Messiah of Pants incident. Also, Nick bitches about the Portal 2 hype, Nintendo Junkie reviews the 3DS, and a long lost special guest calls in. All this plus Rich is on the verge of dying (thankfully.  Greg might move up the ladder now!)... and more on this weeks VGS!

We finally find out who is our show's number 1 fan!  Plenty of news this week we talk about Gamestop's latest push into the digital market, trash talking from Sony concerning Nintendo, and more!  We also talk a little about the continuation of Telltale's Back to the Future episodic adventure.  By the way, for android app owners, there is a pdf available with pictures from the studio.  We apologize...

We are back with tons of news, 3 reviews and on top of that: our first hands-on with the 3DS!  Also, the long wait is over!  VGS now has an android app available on the market!  The app offers easy access to all of our shows, built-in options to interact with us live on the air, and plenty of app-exclusive content.  This week app-owners will get a video tour of the VGS studios.  Don't have an andr...

With a very slow news week we try a fun project:  VGS on the Spot!  We take any question from our listeners by email or by live call-ins.  If you have any other questions for Rich, Kraft and Greg feel free to email us at vgsmailbox@gmail.com

Show 314 on 3-14?  That's a sign of awesomeness!  We take time this week to catch up on our listener emails, a few missed news bytes from last week and all new news from this week!  Also, we drop some info on our soon-to-be-live iphone and android apps!  (side note:  if you have our app, this is the first week we have included bonus material.)

Our apologies for the lack of a show last week:  the studio burned down.  Well, not really, but after a string of problems our will to record was torched.  We're back this week with plenty of news from GDC, a surprise guest, and Rich tells you why you suck for not already owning Bulletstorm!  

Did anything special happen this show?  To be honest with 3 tests this week I can't really remember.  We didn't burn down the studio which means the show was nowhere near as good as it could have been, but I bet it was still a good one.  You be the judge; check out this week's Video Games Show!

VGS for two weeks in a row?  What a wild idea!  We're experimenting with a slightly different news format.  Instead of rapid firing through a bunch of news we don't necessarily care much about we've focused on the things we find intriguing.  Also we'd like to welcome Engineer Greg to his first episode on The Video Games Show;  hopefully he'll stick around for a couple more.

Hoooo buddy!  It seems we are in full swing with the next generation of handheld consoles!  We drop tons of new details about Sony's upcoming successor to the PSP, codenamed the NGP.  We also talk about the Playstation-driven Xperia, more info on the 3DS, and plenty of other news to boot!  Come join us as we come back from our snow-break with a vengence on this all new Video Games Show!

Much like the rest of the country we were slapped upside the head with snow.  We swear our schedule is about to be getting back on track.  That being said, here is a delayed episode of The Video Games Show.  That being said we will be back AT OUR NORMAL TIME on Monday!  (Mother Nature permitting of course.  Who knows, we might be in for another snowpocalyse.) 

Well we finally made it back on campus and were able to pull the lost episode.  While the news might not be current the discussion is still relevant.  There may be some humor involved too.  Honestly I can't remember.  My apologies if the show is lame.

Well, it is our final show in the home studio!  Next week we are back at UM- St Louis at our normal time:  Monday from 9-11pm.  This week we deliver our own State of the (Video Game) Union address, hit all the news from the week, and get around to reading our listener emails.  Hope you join us for another brand new episode of the Video Games Show!

Not sure why, but this episode got lost in the mix.  Obviously winter is not agreeing with VGS.  Anyways, here is episode 307.  If anyone happens to notice a new episode hasn't dropped in a while and are curious, please feel free to email us at vgsmailbox@gmail.com!

I know, I know... Where is 305?  Truth be told I forgot to pull it from the studio server before we left for the evening and now the campus has been shut down and inaccessible for the last week.  It's out of order but I am going to attempt to retrieve it this week sometime.  That being said it pales in comparison to this week's episode.  We go through some news, have some serious insightful discus...
