A lot happened this week so we waste no time jumping into impressions of games like Shadow Complex, Halo Reach, and Professor Layton. We discuss Bungie’s new deal with Activision and the potential disaster that could be “Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.”

This week, Travis does his best to claim that Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii is flawless while the rest of us gawk in horror. We also spend some time discussing some more Splinter Cell Conviction, Professor Layton, and Mega Man 10! We spend our time in the news segment discussing the policies of other more “professional” websites in regards to attending Capcom’s exclusive media event, Captivate 2010, in Hawaii. O yeah, did I mention that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was announced? In other news, Brad is perverted and has taken his love for Mass Effect’s Liara one step too far. It’s a crazy show but we hope you enjoy it!

[download]

Splinter Cell Conviction hit stores this week and we take our seats at the round table to make our opinions on the game known. It leads to some great discussion about the evolution of the series and the implications it has on it’s future. David plays catch up with some Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain discussion and we discuss several major news topics to hit this week. It was a fun show to record so give it a listen!

P.S.- Sorry I dropped the ball this week on getting the show up

[download]

Brad and Travis started playing Chaos… a text based MUDD(??Spelling??) so we talk about that while Brad actually plays the game. Seriously, he plays the damn game while we record the show… it’s incredible. Seriously though, Brad and Travis join me at the table to discuss Star Craft 2, Thief 3, and Save the Turtles (WTF!?)! The comment reading segment returns as we discuss the Red Dead Redemption multiplayer and we get caught up talking about several other important news topics. It’s a short and sweet show this week so enjoy it!

Travis and David return to Texas and join us in the “studio” for this weeks episode! We traveled to Houston Texas this week to attempt our first panel at Anime Matsuri, a local Anime Convention and it was an interesting experience to say the least. There weren’t many games to be played but that won’t stop us from discussing them. We get our impressions out of the way quickly so that we can discuss two of Nintendo’s upcoming hits, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M. This week also marks the beginning of what may become a regular segment on the show as we read and respond to comments left by the community about Metroid. Enjoy it and we will catch you next weekend!

What more is there to say about this weeks podcast? We talk about grappling hooks. We hook onto rocks, buildings, cars, low flying planes, and maybe even… birds. Really though, we talk a ton of Just Cause 2. There is also some Bad Company 2 and FFXIII talk for good measure. Did I mention flying strip clubs?

[download]

This gaming “rainy season” is almost at its end! I am joined at the roundtable by Brad and Nolan to discuss more Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III, and hear Brad rant about his mixed feelings regarding Metro 2033 and Cave Story. After an unexpected discussion involving my 2D gaming history, we close out impressions with a hefty discussion of the Splinter Cell Conviction demo before touching on a few news topics and answering a viewer questions. Overall, its an interesting show with some insightful discussion and a lot of ground to cover. You better get started. O yeah, and if you are not a subscriber on iTunes, you will get the bad ending to this podcast in which we all become fed up with this industry and quit the podcast forever. I think you get my point.

Gaze upon your second dose of 4Player Podcast goodness this week! This weeks show was split into two separate shows and this is the result. This episode includes Nick, Brad, and Nolan [the intern] as we do our best to outwit the other show… confused? Don’t be! We talk Final Fantasy XIII to death and then comment on some news including Might & Magic’s jump to XBLA/PSN as well as the announcement of the Playstation Move! We handle viewer questions in a new and exciting way before closing out the show by punching a mosquito in the face. WIN.

I leave the country for one week and the entire gaming world goes crazy! Apparently… the Just Cause 2 demo is awesome, Bad Company 2 is crazy good, Activision’s “good name” was dragged (further) through the mud, the next Tomb Raider game is a download title, and Portal 2 was announced! Almost makes me wish I hadn’t just spent the entire week soaking up the sun in the Caribbean! Anyways, Brad and I sit down to play catch-up and discuss the recent developments in the gaming world! I apologize for the lack of warning but it had to be done quickly or we would have missed a week and we don’t do that here!

Thanks to my upcoming vacation, we had to record early this week! Joseph and Nolan join me and Brad to discuss a major game release; not only a major release for Sony but an important release for gaming as a whole. Quantic Dream’s ambitious interactive mystery hit store shelves this week and we already finished the game! It is a game that really drives home player interaction and emotional storytelling unlike any game currently out on the market. Download and tune in for a heavy dose of Heavy Rain discussion. See you next week!

Due to an unfortunate technological failure, the first podcast of the evening was lost but never fear, our lengthy spoiler discussion of Mass Effect 2/Dragon Age Origins is safe! SPOILER WARNING! We discuss our experiences and opinions of ME2, the events of our individual endings, and the obvious effects that the game will have on Mass Effect 3. After that, we delve into comparisons between two high profile Bioware games and discuss what makes each of them unique and equally impressive.

Once again, the stars align as we take our seats around the table to discuss another epic week in games! I am joined by Brad, Joseph, and the intern Nolan for a fun discussion of 2K’s Bioshock 2. We touch on a few other games such as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Darksiders, and Dragon Age Origins. We discussed some of the recent news out of Microsoft’s X10 event and answer a few viewer questions as well. All in all, there is plenty to listen to so get started!

Nolan and Joseph join us this week to discuss two high profile demos. We poke holes in Rebellions latest attempt at the “Aliens vs. Predator” franchise and we discuss Sony’s next major PS3 exclusive, “Heavy Rain”. We ramble on for what seems like an hour (actually… I think it was an hour) and then touch on a few other games such as Shadow Complex, Might & Magic DS, and Jurassic the Hunted. Enjoy!

We had some technical difficulties posting the show this week. As a result, I finally looked into speeding up the posting process. Luckily, this means the show can get up much faster each week! Anyways, the show should finally be correct, whether you go through iTunes or through the download link below! (Show may take a bit to update in iTunes)

This week, we are joined by intern Nolan, Carlos, and our Seattle correspondent, Joseph, for a MASSIVE discussion of Mass Effect 2. Don’t worry, we squeeze in some impressions of No More Heroes 2, Sin and Punishment for the Wii and of course some interesting news topic. But lets face it, you want to hear about Mass Effect 2.
