Middagen är serverad! Juntan har i sommarens tredje Djupdyk gått in i fullfjädrat semestermode och bråkar om det mesta. Efter ett krasst konstaterade att det står remakes på lunchmenyn divideras det kantigt kring om det bara är uppvärmda rester som egentligen sett sitt bäst-före-datum eller om en duktig kock kan krydda till det gamla receptet och ge en ny smak. Vad gör det med en spelvärld att spelföretagen vill vi ska välja gamla godingar från menyn, istället för att hoppa på den nya fusion-rätten längst ner? Eller finns det något fint i att lyfta smakerna från förr fast med en ny twist för att få upp intresset för en råvara som kanske riskerar att falla i glömska? Detta - med ledighetens karaktäristiska sura miner som grädde på moset - serveras som dagens rätt så snart du trycker på play!

Få spel är lika omhuldade som Xcom: Enemy Unknown. När Firaxis släppte sin reimagining av klassiska Xcom: Ufo Defense tappade skrivbordsgeneralerna sina hakor till höger och vänster.Så bra var det. Så förträffligt balanserad var spelmekaniken (förutom träffprocenten då). Så stämningsfull var kampen mot utomjordingarna. Och sen kom en expansion som gjorde allt ÄNNU bättre.Följ med när Kraftspelen gräver efter superlativ.Gäst: Mats Nylund

TV Writer, podcast phenom, and Twitter Juggernaut Cody Ziglar came on the show to talk about a number of things including the 2012 turn based tactical strategy game, XCOM: Enemy […]
On this episode of GameDive, the squad looks at the 2012 classic turn-based strategy game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Firaxis has done an admirable job in creating an accessible tactical strategy game, however we still believe there is room for improvement in their efforts. As such, we will have to pull their funding.
In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em discuss XCOM: Enemy Unknown. We discuss the game's balance, correct approaches to combat, and how the game's base building stressed us out. We then pivot to discussing the game's theme of becoming that which you fight against. We wrap up by discussing how XCOM's capitalism in the face of extinction feels oddly prescient in the current moment.

I know that voice!” “That voice is so familiar!” Over billions of ears have heard the voice of Roy Samuelson, a leading and well-respected Hollywood Voiceover Artist.

Dejamos atrás la vorágine del Tokyo Game Show y todo lo que mueve cada año, pero en esta ocasión quizás sin las mismas expectativas que otras veces. Lo comentaremos y haremos un repaso a algunos de los títulos presentados. Por otro lado, los retrasos vuelven a ser los protagonistas en el bloque de noticias. ¿Qué puede haber ocurrido para que tantos lanzamientos cambien su fecha de lanzamiento a escasos meses de su salida? Y si hay algún seguero en la sala que preste atención a todo lo que va a incluir la edición coleccionista de Sonic Mania, ya que apunta a ser una de las mejores hasta la fecha tanto por contenido como por calidad. Hay mucho más, como nuestras impresiones sobre la alfa de For Honor y aguantad hasta el final del programa porque regresa la sección en la que buscamos parecidos razonables a grandes bandas sonoras de videojuegos. ¡Feliz semana! Sumario del programa: – Presentación. – A qué estamos jugando: Demo de Resident Evil 7, DOOM, X-Com: Enemy Unknown y For Honor (alfa privada) – Noticias: Edición coleccionista de Sonicmania, retraso de The Last Guardian y South Park: Retaguardia en Peligro, Sony admite errores en la promoción de No Man's Sky y más. – Interludio musical: ‘Dance of Gold' (Castlevania: Symphony of the night) – Opinión de mierda: Tokyo Game Show. – Dando la nota. – Despedida.

Hey folks – this week we have a continuation of last week's interview with T. Julian Bell. Last time you found out about the RAEX system, and this time we hear from Julian's experience in getting games published and sold. If you're an aspiring games designer, or even if you've been in the industry a little while, you should find something interesting here. Julian gives us his thoughts on Kickstarter too and his plans to use the platform for their current project. Later in the Podcast we also have a recording Grant and Colin made after a Warhammer Fantasy battle a few weeks back. They give a short battle report and what they think went right and wrong during the game. Hear how Grant thinks he misused his multiple demon princes! Colin, Grant and Joe are all practicing for the Battle Brothers tournament in Warhammer world in September, so if any of you might be there, let us know. It'd be great to meet up and have a beer. In other news, Colin chats briefly about XCom: Enemy Unknown – his attempt to get nostalgic and remember the old Amiga days – and he gives a quick update on recent games of Eternal Contenders. We've been trying to play a few different games online recently, using Google Hangouts and the Roll 20 system, but haven't found anything perfect so far. We'd love your feedback on what you use to play remote games. What have you found that works well? We'd love to know – please drop a comment below. The post Ep 12 – How to Sell Your Role Playing Game: The Business of Games Design appeared first on Dicing With Design: Role Playing, Wargaming, Card games & Board Game Design Podcast.
We regroup after a six month hiatus to offer thoughts on the Playstation 4 announcement and to discuss the Wii-U plus Resident Evil 6, Halo 4, Ni No Kuni, DMC, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, The Cave, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Walking Dead and Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey.
I guess its safe to say this is a return to the past, I dropped the Critical Music name a long time ago and them eventually dropped doing music episodes all together. I've been thinking of picking them up again, I even went so far as to mention it on the show and I know some people have asked when it was actually coming, so here you go! This is the return of Critical Music, I hope this time I can keep it going a lot longer than I have in the past. Thanks for listening, I hope you all enjoy it! Music in this episode: World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria, Hotline Miami, Assassin's Creed III, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Killer Instict II, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Pin*Bot, Borderlands 2, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Sine Mora, Unreal Tournament, Arc Rise Fantasia, Asura's Wrath, TERA Online, Forsaken You can reach us at cstrikepodcast@gmail.com, leave a voicemail at (909) 278-7453 or Twitter at criticalstrike
A little early, episode 19 is here. This week we change gears a bit and talk about a new and current game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. First things first though, a bit of news: The remake of the original Leisure Suit Larry has been submitted to Steam Greenlight, give it a vote so they can make it onto Steam for distribution! The new Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is now available for iPad both from the app store. GoG.com's winter sale is currently under weigh, over 450 games are on sale including many great games I've already covered. Some great deals to be had on both old and new games. Then, on to our main topic, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I don't cover the history of the whole series, I do that back in episode 4. I try to keep to the standard format as much as possible, we talk genre, story, gameplay ad dev story. Buy XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/200510/ Next time I'll be talking about the 1999 space sim, Independence War.
Nothing too fancy to mention other than we actually stuck with the schedule for a change. It's also almost the end of the year so our next episode will probably focus on our game of the year lists, that's always fun, right? Here is what we discussed on this episode: XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Borderlands 2, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, New Super Mario Bros. 2. Music in this episode: Hotline Miami, Borderlands 2 You can reach us at cstrikepodcast@gmail.com, leave a voicemail at (909) 278-7453 or Twitter at criticalstrike
Time for episode 18. This time around, we're talking about the grandaddy of 3D survival horror games, 1992's Alone in the Dark. But first, there's lots of news this week! Hero-U, the new game from Quest for Glory's Lori and Corey Cole has successfully funded! They just made it to their 400,000 dollar goal. Congrats! I wasn't quite correct last show when I said Chris Roberts' Star Citizen had funded. It had a day or so left and instead of raising 5 million dollars, they raised 6.5 million! Incredible. A new remake of 1998's Baldur's Gate is already out and ready for purchase. Peter Molyneux has launched a kickstarter to bankroll a new god game in the vein of Populous. I'll be keeping an eye on this one. I also found a new site where you can play an online version of Dune 2. This is a really great port to the web. Finally, if anyone is interested in health, fitness and nutrition, check out this cool new podcast, Fit for Radio! It's awesome. Whew! After all that news, we get to the meat of the show, Infogrames' 1992 game, Alone in the Dark. We take a look at all the usual suspects here and cover a lot of cool info. Buy Alone in the Dark 1, 2 and 3 on Steam: http://www.gog.com/gamecard/alone_in_the_dark Next time I'm doing something a little different. I'll be doing an in-depth review of the new game X-COM: Enemy Unknown. Kind of a look at an old series in a new incarnation. Enjoy!

Hi Blockers! Welcome to episode 15! This week we talk about Bullfrog's 1993 game, Syndicate. Before we get to that though, lots of news this week: Pledge Quest, the fan game supporting the Two Guys SpaceVenture released a second part. Give it a look! X-Com: Enemy Unknown has released to great reviews! In SimCity 5 News, it appears the game will not allow you to restore or delete your cities. Wing Commander's Chris Roberts launched a crowdfunding campaign to create an ambitious new space sim called Star Citizen / Squadron 42. Finally, Mechwarrior Online is going to open beta, giving everyone a chance to give the game a try. After all this news and an email, we get to the main topic of the show, 1993's Syndicate. Lots of great info here. Get Syndicate on GoG: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/syndicate/?pp=1106a1dda2d680438ecfb0bb70fd479c55a1791f Get Syndicate 2012 on Origin: http://store.origin.com/store/ea/en_US/pd/productID.108004900 Next week, we take a look at another game from 1993, Star Control.

The devs get interviewed and Colin gets excited.
A little late, but here I am with episode 14! This time around we chat about the great paranormal mystery adventure game series, Gabriel Knight. As usual though, the news: Project Eternity is a kickstarter RPG made in the vein of late 90's PC RPG's like Icewind Dale and Planetscape: Torment. If you like that style of game, check it out! Sword of Fargoal 2 is an attempt (again on kickstarter) to bring back the Sword of Fargoal roguelike dungeon crawler from the Commodore 64. Again, if this type of game is your bag, give it a look! Finally, in Steam news, the demo for the new X-COM: Enemy Unknown game is available for download. The full game is due to release on October 9th, 2012. We then have two great listener emails where we go back and chat a bit about Command & Conquer. Now, on to our main topic for the week, Sierra's Gabriel Knight series. I go into great detail about the first game, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. We talk story, gameplay, tech focus and the rest. In dev story I go into the rest of the games in the series as well. I end off with a live performance of some soundtrack music from the first game. You can get all three GK games on GoG.com: Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned Next time, we check out an interesting 1993 tactical strategy series, Syndicate. Hope to see you then!
A tearful reunion brings the boys back together, but pathetic blubbering quickly gives way to shrieking alien terror for a XCOM: Enemy Unknown interview. Plus a trifecta of Assassin's Creed talkies, the new PSN releases for 10/02, and more!
This time around, we're heading back to the adventure genre with a great LucasArts game from 1990, Loom. First though, some news: Shortly after the last show, strange rumours started popping up about a new Rise of the Triad game by Apogee software. Turns out they are true! Some more info about the new X-COM: Enemy Unknown game has come out. We're talking competitive multiplayer and a release date! You can also pre-order at their site. Finally, some sad news: 3D modelling pioneer Paul Steed, who worked on games like Strike Commander and Quake, passed away suddenly this week. After the news we read a few listener emails covering a few topics. Business aside, I then start to delve into the fantastic and wonderful world of Loom. As usual we cover all the aspects of story, gameplay, development and more relating to this truly unique adventure game from Lucasfilm Games. If you want to give Loom a go, it can be purchased on Steam. Next week, we put on our conductor's hat when we look at yet another game from 1990, Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon.
Hey there blockers! It's yet again time for another show! This week, something a little bit different. Instead of covering a specific game, we're gonna get techie and discuss some ways to play all these great old games I've been covering on our modern, ultra-fast, multi-core gaming rigs. But first, some news. I follow up once again on both the Tex Murphy and SpaceVenture kickstarters. Check em out and give your support if you think they're worthwhile! Also, the E3 show has been going on this week where trailers were released for the next SimCity and the new X-COM: Enemy Unknown game in development. I wanted to let everyone know about The Blackwell Bundle, a cool adventure series done in the style of classic VGA adventure games that I've been playing since the last show. Check it out! The main topic for the week is how to get old games running well on modern systems. We cover some background, what difficulties we encounter trying to get this all running. Then I start the discussion of emulation, define what it is and where it's used. I then get into details of two different applications that are used to run DOS games in emulation, DOSBox and ScummVM. Finally we listen to an audio comment from Dan where he talks about his experience with retro gaming and DOS emulation on iOS. That's that! Enjoy the show and see you all next time when we talk about Wolfenstein 3D!
E3 2012 is days away and the pressure is on! Gary Steinman from Games Radar lays out his case for his most-anticipated games: The Last of Us, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and many more. Plus, new PSN releases for 6/5/12 and user questions.
