RadioRadar+ Podcast 37: New Game Minus Feb 12, 2016

Show notes

Games covered this week: Firewatch, Unravel, Quantum Break, Final Fantasy … 12?

This week the podcast crew examines the impending hiatus of Assassin’s Creed, the Quantum Break backlash, the burning desire to play Firewatch and what happens when you get a bit wrapped up in the cute little Limbo-like, Unravel.

Anthony also conveys what it’s like to play Final Fantasy 12, years later, as a big ol’ cheater.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Sophia Tong, Susan Arendt, Anthony John Agnello

RadioRadar+ Podcast 36: Hyrule HD Feb 06, 2016

Show notes

Games covered this week: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, XCOM 2, Rusty Lake Hotel, Oxenfree, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The RadioRadar+ crew reports back on Twilight Princess HD – and whether it deserved all that love … or all that hate, depending on who you talk to. Meanwhile, Susan’s still on her cannibal trip (following Tharsis) with a creepy new adventure game, while Anthony finally succumbs to one of the year’s coolest, most enigmatic games: Oxenfree. Maxwell also stops by with some stories about XCOM 2 and some theories on why there’s no console version of it in sight.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Susan Arendt, Maxwell McGee, Anthony John Agnello

RadioRadar+ Podcast 35: The Long Division Episode Jan 30, 2016

Show notes

Games covered this week: The Division, The Witness, Marvel’s Lego Avengers, Resident Evil Zero HD, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

The RadioRadar Crew spends an episode unpacking The Division’s dense New York plague-ground, the wobbly construction of Marvel’s Lego Avengers and whether one of Resident Evil’s oddest games holds up in an HD treatment. Ludwig finally talks about the ending of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain (don’t worry, there’s a spoiler warning) and Anthony convinces Susan to both watch and never watch Terminator: Genisys.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Susan Arendt, Anthony John Agnello

RadioRadar+ Podcast 34: Quiet on Pony Island Jan 22, 2016

Show notes

It’s Weird Game Week on the RadioRadar+ show, with thorough looks at delightfully off-kilter games like Oxenfree (a teen-infused mystery), Undertale (you’ve probably heard about it by now) and the insidious self-hacking game, Pony Island. The crew also discusses whether self-aware games can go too far, and whether story-focused developers need to take it down a notch in how they communicate with players.

Don’t worry, we lower the Pretension Level by talking about pooping horses too.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Ashley Reed, Anthony John Agnello

RadioRadar+ Podcast 33: The MUD Bucket Jan 16, 2016

Show notes

This week’s episode of RadioRadar+ ponders the agelessness of video game characters. Should they live forever? Should they be allowed to retire with dignity? Should they flaunt Luis Vuitton goods? (Yes, also yes, and … absolutely.)

After that, stay a while and hear about Sophia Tong’s epic history as a former MUD overlord – that’s Multi-User Dungeon, kids.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Sophia Tong, David Roberts

RadioRadar+ Podcast 32: When Things Are Big That Should Be Small Jan 12, 2016

Show notes

The RadioRadar+ show is back after a holiday break, ready to ponder the price of the Oculus Rift and what it could mean for PlayStation VR.

After that: let the spoilers flow through you as we talk about that thing that happened in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, get psyched for the promise of Psychonauts 2, and raise an eyebrow when the discussion inevitably turns to Super Duper Sonic.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Susan Arendt, Anthony John Agnello

RadioRadar+ Podcast 31: Return of the MGS Guy Dec 19, 2015

Show notes

After a disastrous (but spoiler-free) attempt to review Star Wars: The Force Awakens – without having seen it – the RadioRadar+ crew delve into games that, like Star Wars, have made a triumphant comeback after a tarnished turn or two.

The show also covers what it means for Hideo Kojima to be free, and whether his name might be enough to win over VR skeptics and console fence-sitters.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Maxwell McGee, Anthony John Agnello, Lucas Sullivan

RadioRadar+ Podcast 30: Final Fantasy 7 and the best of PSX Dec 10, 2015

Show notes

The PlayStation Experience hosted a whirlwind of big announcements (there’s a Ni no Kuni 2?) and a strong push toward VR from Sony, but it seems you can’t call something “PSX” for short without having it overshadowed by an iconic PlayStation 1 game. Yup, it’s the Final Fantasy 7 Remake episode, which – according to Square Enix – will be one of several Final Fantasy 7 Remake episodes coming in the future.

We, do of course, make plenty of room to talk about 100ft Robot Golf. This is a video game podcast, after all, and what’s more video game than that?

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Anthony John Agnello, Susan Arendt

RadioRadar+ Podcast 29: The Pre-Thanksgiving Semi-Special Nov 25, 2015

Show notes

The RadioRadar crew embarks on a bloody sojourn with the old hunters this week in a return to Bloodborne and its new expansion. Meanwhile, they make a case for another difficult oddity, Spelunker World, and figure out just who (if anyone) is doing microtransactions and card packs and all that stuff the right way. It could be just the show to accompany your impending Thanksgiving malaise.

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Ashley Reed, Lucas Sullivan

RadioRadar+ Podcast 28: Actually, it’s Dr. Eggman’s Monster Nov 20, 2015

Show notes

Is Star Wars: Battlefront a little too lean for its own good? This week’s episode looks at how different 2015’s last big shooter really is. The RadioRadar+ crew also ventures back into Fallout 4 – a world in which bugs aren’t as destructive as you might think – and explores Lara Croft’s latest in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Plus: Is Eggman’s mustache worthy of a full-blown, full-grown Twitter war?

Hosts: Ludwig Kietzmann, Susan Arendt, Anthony John Agnello, Maxwell McGee
