Just got off the phone with Edie, who managed to record a walkthrough of an upcoming game with the Lead Designer. Yes, I’m being vague. It’s a good one folks, a doozy you may say. Edie asked me to tease you with it, so here ya go: Coming...
We hit the midway point for E3 2008 today. Being the first day without a major press conferece, Wednesday is all about hitting the games. And there are so many games here it's impossible to do one small woman (or a large one for that matter) to hit them...
E3 2008 East Coast Half Day Mark. So some more news has trickled in. And when I say trickle I mean: ever had a night where it hurts to pee, and it comes out like it’s turned to honey? Where’s all the damn news?!? It’s like everyone’s...
Shigeru Miyamoto is on a short list of people who are gaming gods to me. Tim Schaffer, Will Wright, Hideo Kojima, Casey Hudson, Shigeru Miyamoto. A gaming god is a person who makes games, does not apologize for their love of the games, does not allow...
Morning guys and gals, Edie’s gone over most of Sony’s stuff already, and we discussed Nintendo’s (snorefest? smugfest? take your pick) Press conference on last nights show. So I’ll just focus on what we DIDN’T cover: ...
It's day two of E3, though technically it's the first day. Hawkes and Edie round up Sony and Nintendo press briefings, which were -- let's just say they spanned the scope of impressive to laughable. Also, we chat about Edie's hands-on with Bethesda's...
Morning everyone, it should be a fun day today with Nintendo and Sony responding to Microsoft’s quite strong press conference from yesterday. But that wasn’t the only thing that happened yesterday, let’s start with EA’s new announcements. (more…) Read More →
As promised, the first installment of the exclusive E3 coverage. Hawkes and Edie discuss Monday's events (thus the .1 of the episode number). Or should we say "event," as the annoucements of Microsoft really ruled the day. Just when we think we had the...
Hi folks, Seems Microsoft’s team jumped the gun and accidentally released a video giving some of the press conference away. Check out the video, but here’s my train of thought: Fable II is in October Gears of War 2 has 5 Player co-op...
Fresh from Nintendo’s Press Site we get this: Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii...
Before the term “Surfing the web..” was even close to being an understand colloquialism, there were these places called “bulletin boards” which was really nothing but a computer that accepted “dial-up” calls from other...
This is quite a week. It starts today with Microsoft’s presser, tomorrow is Nintendo and Sony’s. By Friday, The Dark Knight opens. It’s almost too much. Almost. For E3 this week, keep your eyes on GameHounds.net. I’ll be...
Hey guys. So, it's less than 24 hours before one half of the GameHounds crew jets off to Los Angeles for E3. So time is short. Short enough, in fact, that we really don't have time to do proper show notes for this episode, which unfortunately was recorded...
You know, we knew it wouldn't last. Hawkes swore off the hate a mere three weeks ago, and this week he rediscovers that rancid little black part of his soul. Edie also finds a good reason to be pissed off, and not just because the one-week mark to E3...
Platform Nation is a collaboration of several gaming podcasts who decided it would be best for our gamers, the podcasters and the rest of the gaming community if they came together to share efforts. Together we have a larger voice in the community for the gamers that we strive to speak for. We share the same forums and for the most part, share the same listeners. After all, we are a community, not a network.
