Rebel FM QOTW: Your Game of the Year, and your Not-Game of the Year

Aegies — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 22:59:42 +0000

It’s 2011, but we’re not done with 2011 yet. This week, we’re talking about what our games of 2010 were, but also, games we loved that weren’t necessarily at that level – our “Not-Games of the Year,” if you will. So, with that in mind, we want to hear yours. You’ve got until 7 PM PST tonight to get your responses in, for reading on the podcast.

Aegies — Thu, 27 May 2010 21:13:37 +0000

Rebel FM Episode 53 Pre-show Topic: Must-play Games This Gen

Chufmoney — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:02:29 +0000

This topic actually comes from a listener named Seth M. Seth pinged us awhile back with an “unsolicited” topic regarding games we felt people just had to play from this generation. Here’s an excerpt from his original email:

“I wanted to write you and your fellow podcasters a letter with a topic idea. The topic is this: which games this generation do you consider “must plays” and why? I have been scouring GameStop for games I missed out on the first time around, like Dead Space and Bioshock, because I feel like if I don’t play them, I’ll regret it come next console cycle. Same with the Orange Box. I had to beat those games to call myself a true gamer. I feel like beating them within the generation is important because it’s difficult to go back a generation and play. I had this experience with Psychonauts. I really wanted to play it when it came out but I didn’t. Instead I bought it on XBL as an Xbox Original and I can’t get past the ugly, ugly graphics to enjoy what everyone tells me I should really be enjoying.”

So what of it? What games do you guys (and gals) consider the essential experiences for gamers trying to play it all while the 360, Wii and PS3 are still the current generation? Do you have games that you’ve tried to go back because people lauded them only to find out they’ve aged awfully? Let us know! We’ll discuss this on tomorrow’s show.

Thanks!

Rebel FM Episode 42 Pre-Show Question: Games of the Year

Aegies — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:23:28 +0000

No screwing around anymore. Now that December is upon us, the biggest releases are out, and we’re ready to start the process of elimination for game of the year contention. Here’s what we want: give us three (3) games that you feel deserve consideration. And more specifically, make a stretch; don’t try to nominate the most obvious choices if enough people already have. We want to consider a lot of games before we callously ignore your opinions (kidding!). Get them in by 6:30 PM PST tonight!

Rebel FM Episode 41 Pre-show Question: What’s your bummer of 2009

Aegies — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:19:48 +0000

With the closure of Pandemic earlier this week, it’s just another reminder of how many low moments the game industry has had in 2009. With that in mind, we want to talk about what your most disappointing moment of the year so far was. Try to stick to games, since, you know, this is theoretically a gaming (penis) podcast. Comment by 6:30 PM PST for consideration for this week’s show.

Rebel FM 36 pre-show question: where should consoles go?

Aegies — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:03:04 +0000

With Microsoft and Sony gearing up for their own motion and body based control solutions and Nintendo working on their heartrate sensor, where do you want to see the current gen of consoles go next year?

Rebel FM Episode 28 Pre-show questions: Delays and Design

Aegies — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:30:59 +0000

Greetings all. We got some great submissions on twitter today, but could only pick a couple of topics. That being said, here we go.

Question 1: Name one game you feel will benefit from its delay from this fall to next year, and one game that’s going to be screwed, and tell us why for both.

Question 2: What do you think makes for good game design? Try to emphasize good, rather than bad!

We’ll be taking comments until around 6:30 PDT today, so get a move on.

Rebel FM Episode 23 Pre-show question: What games have surprised you (in a good way)?

Aegies — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:43:13 +0000

I know for many of us and our friends in the media community, this has been a year of surprises (which I’m sure is obvious if you’ve been paying any attention to our Red Faction: Guerrilla boners of late). So we thought we’d ask you what games over the last few years have really surprised you positively? Whether they were games you’d never heard of that you loved, or games you thought you’d hate that you adore, let us know by this afternoon at 6:00 PM PDT.
