E3 2010: Bad Company, Battlefield Vietnam Announcement

by Joseph Christ · June 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments

One of the best things I’ve heard at the conferences we attended today was the upcoming arrival of the next Bad Company 2 expansion.  Taking place in Vietnam it looks to possibly be a redo of what I consider to be one of the best, and one of the most underrated Battlefield games. We were [...]

E3 2010: Natal / Kinect Reveal show

by Joseph Christ · June 14th, 2010 · 23 Comments

After a long time waiting we here at 4Player Podcast made it into the Natal / Kinect reveal show.  We actually found out the new name of the system while standing on line.  After about three hours of joshing for position we were finally let inside.  What happened after that is something that is hardly [...]

Alan Wake, I beat the entire game in one night. Many things to say, and the words will come. Until then… It’s worth your money. People will remember this shit. -Travis

My Frustrations with Professor Layton

by Nick Henderson · April 29th, 2010 · 7 Comments

My absence from the site for the past few weeks has been unfortunate but I have been trying desperately to keep up with the new releases and tackle some of my laundry list as of late. My latest conquest has been a fresh experience (to say the least) but also one of the most frustrating [...]

Just Cause 2 and why it brings us one step closer to the Holy Grail of space sims.

by Joseph Christ · April 27th, 2010 · 8 Comments

Just Cause 2 is a wonderful and expansive game. Looking at my game stats I see that I have played the game for over 18hrs but I’m sitting it around 16% completion. For someone who spent a whole lot of time in Fallout 3, those kinds of odds are music to my ears. But more [...]

Do as the Picture Says…

by Alan · April 13th, 2010 · 37 Comments

In the online world we see “featured” users, boasting stars, colors, banners, pictures, or other such things that represent public recognition. In an online community these contributions usually come in the form of comments.  So are the comments made by a featured individual any better than everyone else’s? What about the comments made by those [...]

The Story of My Picture with SUDA-51

by Alan · April 11th, 2010 · 23 Comments

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I met SUDA51? It was quite an exciting day. I meant to make a post and tell you guys about it while I was still in Japan but it got lost in my last week there and the past few weeks after getting back. But I [...]

New Game By Atlus?

by Alan · April 10th, 2010 · 12 Comments

All I can say that I want this game. I saw the trailer and was completely interested in what was going on in the lives of the six people at the “Hospital.” And then after seeing the gorgeous case design, I all but ordered the game from importers. You want to know why I didn’t [...]

Video Game Marketing: Trailers (F.3.A.R. & Crysis 2 Comparison)

by Nick Henderson · April 9th, 2010 · 23 Comments

Video games don’t sell themselves. Not anymore anyways. Back in the day when this technology was new and video game journalism didn’t exist, people would rush to stores to buy games because it was cool and exciting. Today, the market is overrun with gaming experiences and genres and consumers often base purchase decisions on a [...]

Something I Realized in Japan

by David Liao · April 8th, 2010 · 4 Comments

I like Zelda, but I dislike “The Train One.” Actually, I’d go as far as to say that I borderline hate it. There’s a part I’m stuck at trying to play the DS Microphone Flute and I can’t get the part right. I know that I could probably do it. I’ve had sufficient time away [...]

Impressions of a Lifetime

by Travis Granger · April 6th, 2010 · 13 Comments

As I am sure most of you know, I absolutely love Starcraft: Brood War. It is, by far, my number one favorite game of all time (until SC II releases anyways). So I would have to assume it is my duty, especially after getting into the beta, to allow the rest of the community to [...]

The Pains of Being a Parent

by Ben Alford · March 28th, 2010 · 21 Comments

I am a parent in a minivan driving to pick up the kids—no, that isn’t true. I am the parent in the passenger seat telling my significant other where to go. He likes to make jokes as we drive, but I don’t have the heart to tell him he really isn’t very funny. He tries [...]

Under the Survival Radar

by Travis Granger · March 16th, 2010 · 13 Comments

Allow me to introduce… A new game out today. Instead of spending my tiny amount of money on a game I know will be good… such as Dragon Age: Awakening, I decided it would be better to spend my hard earned cash on a new IP; Metro 2033. This PC/Xbox-only game has a simple premise, [...]
