Never in our wildest dreams did we think that we’d have to bleep so much of our “clean” podcast… Simon DI is out of town, sunning himself down in Mexico way, so Cooper Hawkes steps in this week to discuss the post-E3 gaming news....
Originally, we were just going to post this as a straightforward interview. And then all you listeners started speculating. Who did Edie talk to? Was it CliffyB? Was it Will Wright? So rather than wreck the surprise by just telling you, you’re...
We were just going through all the website posts from the last few days, and other than the fact we can’t seem to spell “announcement” properly, we did see a couple things that need clarification. With the new Xbox 360 dashboard,...
We hit the midway point for E3 2008 today. Being the first day without a major press conference, 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...
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...
For all the big news Sony made about new games in the distant future and new features launching right away, there was scant little about games we’re already waiting for. Here’s what’s coming when (unless otherwise noted): Resistance...
If the downloading of video to your PS3 via the store wasn’t enough, with Grand Turismo 5 Prologue, you’ll have even more stuff to look at next month. Starting August 1, Sony will launch Grand Turismo TV, a feature of the GT5 Prologue that...
Not to be outdone by Microsoft and its Netflix partnership, Sony announced that — starting tonight — you will now be able to download movie rentals and purchases directly onto your PS3 via the Playstation Store. Rentals will cost $1.99 to...
The thing you quickly learn about these press briefings is the biggest and boldest news is always framed as, “Thanks for coming. Oh yes, and one more thing.” Sony “One more thinged” us with the announcement of a brand new game...
It’s only a few minutes since Sony concluded its press briefing, and we’re going to break down all the news that’s important. Jack Trenton really pushed around a serious amount of air for the last couple hours. And he said a lot. Some...
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...
What’s a Microsoft E3 Briefing without some mention of Xbox Live Arcade games coming out this year? There’s a few that we’ve all been waiting for… in fact, I can hear Engineer Kevin piddling himself. Look in the next few months...
Yes, we expected these titles, but here’s all the details on the major release games we knew would be on their way. Fallout 3: New catchphrase of the day: “Peace, Freedom, Bacon and Eggs.” No release date. Looks cool. New trailer...
Hear that? It’s the sound of millions of Final Fantasy (ie: Sony) fanbois crying. Vaguely similar to hell freezing over. It surprised the hell out of us when, as the last guest speaker to the Microsoft E3 Briefing that Yoichi Wata took the stage....
UPDATE: We just found out that the Netflix-sharing feature will only be available to those with an Xbox Live Gold account and a premium account with Netflix. Not exactly free, but still, it’s pretty cool. -Ed. Ah, your Xbox dashboard. Safe....
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.
