  • POP Ep.64: The Reality of Project Reality (Voicemail line: 713-893-8069)

    14/01/2008 Duración: 01h31min

    In a clever scheme to tie the episode number into the content of the show, this week we spend some time talking about the Nintendo 64. From Project Reality to the limitations of the cartridge format to the system as a turning point for Nintendo's position in the industry, we talk about it all. Also, the first installment of a new segment where we pick a retro game and break it apart. We start with Star Tropics, and if you're a fan...you might not like what you hear.We also discuss the games we played this week, which includes Tron, NFL Tour and Omega Five.Thanks for listening!

    This week, we take a few moments to ponder the year ahead with some predictions and issues that the big three need to address.

  • POP Ep.60: The Holiday Blues (Voicemail line 713-893-8069)

    17/12/2007 Duración: 51min

    This week Greg, Phil and Dan pick up CJ's slack. The boys suffer some early holiday blues as they realize most of the big game releases for '07 have come and gone. That doesn't shorten the Whatcha Been Playin' segment, however. Thrill to discussions about Super Mario Galaxy, The Orange Box, Zack & Wiki, Burnout Paradise, and the unlicensed version of Tengen's Gauntlet for the NES. After all that, Phil tells everyone how he really feels about NPD discussions while Dan uses a lot of flowery prose and $10 words to explain away the Wii's holiday woes. hanks for listening!

    26/11/2007 Duración: 01h15min

    You're not hearing things, the audio quality on three of the four hosts in the first 40 minutes of this week's podcast is messed up. But there is a reason for it, which you'll soon find out about. Nevertheless, we soldiered on and ended up with an hour-fifteen's worth of talk on the big games of the last few weeks. That includes discussion of Mass Effect, Rock Band, Assassin's Creed, Contra 4, Trauma Center: New Blood, Uncharted, Super Mario Galaxy (with spoiler warning), Call of Duty 4, Viva Pinata Party Animals and Beautiful Katamari.Thanks for listening!

    In honor of this week's release of Mario Galaxy, we spend the second segment of this episode talking about Mario games.

  • POP Ep.53: It's not easy seeing green (Voicemail line: 713-893-8069)

    29/10/2007 Duración: 01h20min

    This week we turn our eyes towards Nintendo's original, black and white (or is that green and...lighter green) Game Boy. The portable that was too large for a pocket may not have had the graphical oomph of its competition, but the Game Boy sure wedged its way into our hearts. And with the rumor last week that Nintendo may soon begin offering downloadable GB games for play on the DS via flash cartridge, it seemed the right time to talk about our fave handheld and its pea-soup screen.Also: The games we've been playing this week include The Simpsons Game, Ratchet & Clank Future, Exit, Beautiful Katamari, Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles, Mega Man ZX Advent, Battlestar Galactica, Prism, Puzzle Quest, and the Guitar Hero III and Scene It demos.Thanks for listening!

  • POP Ep.51: Up Yaris (Voicemail line: 713-893-8069)

    14/10/2007 Duración: 01h25s

    There's a fine line between a good game and complete crap. Last week saw the release of Yaris on Xbox Live Arcade. Our stance on it...pretty clear. Game of the YEAR. OK, not really. It's not even terribly effective as an advergame. Take a listen to this episode and you'll hear our opinions of Yaris, The Orange Box, Puzzle Quest, Hot PXL, Rock Band, MLB Power Pros, Ratchet & Clank Future (demo), Warriors Orochi, Phantom Hourglass and Halo 3. Plus we discuss a few of the news stories that caught our eyes over the last week.Next week is our One-Year Anniversary Extravaganza. We'll be playing lots of voicemails, most likely.

    08/10/2007 Duración: 01h26min

    Here it is, our 50th episode. Amazed that we've lasted this long on such a regular basis? So are we. This week we've got a super-sized Game Tape Impressions segment where we talk about such new releases as The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Project Gotham Racing 4, Halo 3 and MLB Power Pros. We also quickly tackle a couple of news headlines (including two rumors that turned true last week) and take a few calls from listeners.Thanks for listening!

    01/10/2007 Duración: 01h05min

    This week is the episode of flubbed/bombed segues, mispronunciations and Game Fuel buildup. Oh, and Halo 3. Yes, we talk about that a little bit too. No story spoilers here, so fear not (we didn't play much single player or co-op this week). And if Halo 3's not your thing, worry not -- we've thrown that segment at the end of the podcast.

  • POP Ep.48: Waiting for Master Chief (Voicemail line: 713-893-8069)

    23/09/2007 Duración: 01h07min

    Don't worry, there are no Halo 3 spoilers in this episode (in case you were wondering). Actually there's barely any Halo talk in this episode at all. In the run-up to Tuesday's mega-launch of the most anticipated game of the year, we spend this episode talking about other, less Master Chief-y games, go over some Tokyo Game Show news, and Dan gives one listener a verbal thrashing...over Halo.BTW, we're going to do another Player One Podcast Game Night this Friday, September 28.

    This week we welcome ex-Electronic Gaming Monthly editor and Shawnimals creator Shawn Smith to the program for 90 minutes of chatting about games, ye olden days of EGM, and what it's like to leave a video game magazine, start a line of designer plush and then turn that work into a video game—Southpeak Interactive's recently announced Ninjatown for Nintendo DS.Plus we talk about the games we've been playing in the past week and go over a few of last week's big headlines.

  • POP Ep.46: Fanboy Logic (Voicemail line: 713-893-8069)

    10/09/2007 Duración: 01h27min

    Admit it. You're biased. You have likes, dislikes, loves, hates, etc. And we jump into that a bit this week as we talk about fanboy logic -- the propensity to defend something you own/like even when that position is indefensible or seemingly illogical. We go through a few of the previous system wars and even fess up to our own personal biases. Maybe you'll be able to do the same after listening. Thanks go to Declivity Man on our forum for suggesting the topic.But that's not all, we also discuss the games we've been playing this week, including Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Blue Dragon -- two titles which have had very different reactions from the gaming community at large (that, for the most part, don't gel with our own).Thanks for listening!

    03/09/2007 Duración: 50min

    This week the boys spend the entire podcast talking about all the boffo games they've been playing over the past week. Thrill as they go toe-to-toe on whether Metroid Prime 3 is "the tits" or yet another GameCube game with gimmicky controls. Witness them talk up Blue Dragon like it's not just another average RPG. Groan as Greg calls out Folklore for being a warmed-over turd. Plus! Be sure to take part in Player One's first game giveaway!Thanks for listening!
