Hey Got Gamers!
If awesome was made using only sound, then we think it would sound a lot like the Got Game Podcast for Sunday, November 15th, 2009; and as always, it can be found below this sentence.
This week on Got Game:
- Momin talks about his trip on Nintendo’s tracks to see The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks; and while we are speaking of that trip, Momin took a bunch of pictures that day, but none of them were as epic as the pictures that Lori Dance took of Momin. Therefore, we’d like to direct you to Lori’s website so that you can see these awesome pictures of Momin for yourself.
- We also talked about Microsoft getting ban happy recently. We ponder if this is really the right thing for them to do.
- Ubisoft’s claims that their new Prince of Persia film will do just as well at the box office as the Pirates of the Carribean film. We toss around the idea to see if they could pull in that much cash.
- In a world overflowing with plastic instruments and music games, we ask does the world really need Drum Hero?
- And we give you our review of Call of Duty Mordern Warfare 2.

All that and more on this week’s Got Game.
Oh and if you haven’t seen them yet, take a minute to watch Part 2…
…and Part 3…
…of Assassin’s Creed Lineage.
These 2 parts (along with part 1) makes up a 45 minute long film that shows us how events unfolded before the beginning of Assassin’s Creed II. Specifically, these films focus on an assassin named Giovanni Auditore da Firenze, father of Ezio (one of the main characters in Assassin’s Creed II), as he investigates a conspricy to overthrow the government of 16th century Italy. If you consider yourself a gamer, then you really owe it to yourself to watch these.

- uberVU - social commentsHey Guys,
Haven’t commented on the blogs in sometime. I listen to the podcast and perhaps the idea of violent media of whether games should be classified as “games” or perhaps “art”
After listening to Bryan’s comment of your not really shooting terrorist your just shooting a bunch of 1s and 0s. I have to disagree with Bryan on this point.
Even though games have give free reign such as Modern Warfare 2 and GTA 4. There is a social commentary. I don’t think any developer would consider a character they created as a bunch of binary code. Its the same thing for an author when he or she creates a character.
This last few generation of games have gone BEYOND the idea that games are mindless killing.
I’d like to point out two examples Metal Gear Solid and GTA 4. Hideo Kojima is making a social commentary about Nuclear weapons. Even after the game is completed he gives you facts about the disarmament of Nuclear Warheads.
In GTA 4 they gave you a morality system. You guys played it. You know that your actions had consequence.
It was a great experience feeling the moral dilemma your character faced.
Anyways I don’t want to ramble. Good discussion. I love to hear what other people think.
Perhaps the term “game” needs to be removed.
Fat chance.
Cheers
Justin
- JushinHey Justin,
You may say you don’t comment much on the blog, but you make up for it with a great post. Quality over Quantity. I want to reply to it right now because I don’t agree with everything you said, but as Cooper said during our review of MW2, we didn’t have time for that decision then. We’re hoping to have it during the next show. Tune in because I think you’ll find that one really interesting.
