iGame Radio

Podcast Episode 77 is now available. Great episode wherein I talk about the dangers of game studies, whether to OS 3.0 or not to OS 3.0, and why you can’t be Obama in Second Life anymore.

Also:

• A review of Braid, by Jonathan Blow, ported to the Mac by Hothead Games. Braid is one of those unique games that stepped outside the development box of safety and won the game of risk. Truly a game that will be remembered for its game mechanics, its art, and most importantly, integrating all of this together into a truly fluid piece of art that is eminently playable and fun.





• A review of Ice Road Truckers, Slitherine Software’s first foray into iPhone games. A racing game wrapped with a History Channel show.





• An interview with Dennis Fong, CEO of Raptr, about their social gaming utility.

 

This week I’ve reviewed a nice selection of games, from a AAA title to casual, to a couple of iPhone games. I reviewed Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones by Transgaming, My Tribe by Grubby Games, Buggled by Aspyr Media, and SoulTrapper by Realtime Associates.

And just as a reminder to everyone, the iGame Radio feed has moved to Feedburner. So change your feed over. I’m still in the process of working on the correct 301 redirect for it (Ruby on Rails is not gentle to me, oh no).

 

Here are the game reviews we had to carve out from Episode 65. I review Wheel of Fortune Deluxe and Jeopardy Deluxe, ported to the Mac by Freeverse. Also, a review of The Amazing Brain Train by Grubby Games. Enjoy!

 

An interview with Allen Partridge of Adobe about Director 11. Also, reviews of The Great Tree by Reflexive Entertainment and Fable: The Lost Chapters by Feral Interactive.
