Hey Got Gamers!
Today is the day that we celebrate the aniversary of one of the greatest video games of all time. Which one is it? Well, you’ll find that out later in this blog. First we would like to present the Got Game podcast for Monday, May, 17, 2010; and as always, you can find it in the audio file below this sentence.

This week on Got Game:
1. We dicussed a trip that Momin and Calhoun took to see Split Second. While there they had a chance to take a ride with some professional stunt drivers; and because a picture is worth a 1000 words, they decided to snap some.
Here is Momin getting out of a vehicle just after he finished a lap around the stunt course.
Here is one of the stunt drivers beside one of the vehicles that they were using that day.
2. We are also finally able to talk about Alan Wake, so we played an interview that Calhoun recorded with Remedy Entertainment’s Oskari Hakkinen.
Then we decided to roast some marshmellows around the camp fire as Zack told us the origins of the Ghost of U of T.
3. We also took some time to debate the pros and cons of a rumor we heard regarding the CHL possibily coming to EA’s NHL 11. However, we should stress this is not confirmed yet. It’s just a very cool idea at the moment.
4. We then discussed something that has already been confirmed: EA Sports’ Online Pass. Is this a smart business move, or just a chance for EA to double dip the consumer’s wallet? We debate on this week’s Got Game, but don’t forget to check out the blog post we wrote about it for more information.
And believe it or not, we somehow managed to find enough time to review 3D Dot Game Heroes.
However, as always there was just not enough time to fit everything into one show. There is always way to much going on, but this week we got some help from 3 of the greatest guys in sports radio. Don Landry and Gord Stellick, along with Mike Eppel from 680 News, brought some awesome gaming trivia to The Big Early morning show on Monday, May 17, 2010. What’s it about? Well you can find that out by listening to the audio file below this sentence.

I’m just wondering if there is an App out there for my Iphone where I will be able to watch the World cup matches live as they are playing.
Thanks for your time
- Patrick CamaraHey Patrick,
If there is an App like that, I haven’t heard of it yet. There is an app called WC Soccer 2010 that claims to have video highlights, but I haven’t tested that one out myself yet.
ESPN has a pretty good app to keep up on what’s going on with the world cup, but it’s primary text based… however, it is also free.
- Bryan CalhounHey Patrick,
So there’s an official app called 2010 World Cup South Africa, that’s supposedly going to have all sorts of commentary, analysis, and video… doubt it’s streaming, but they’ll probably have post-game highlights for you.
It’s priced at $2.99
If you do get it, please let us know your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Zack
- Zack Cooperabout a week and a half before I sent you my first comment I did download to WC 2010 app which was $2.99 powered by AFP and developed by INFINDO TECHNOLOGY. The reason I got it was becaude there ad info stated “live coverage” I sent them an email (after I got it cause it didn’t let me comunicate with them until i bought it) to confirm but of course it wasn’t true and that it was text data only. You bet your life I gave them a piece of my mind, not for the money but for wasting my time.
Im still trying to find an app that will provide live streaming. If you guys find one out please let me know.
- Patrick CamaraI’m pretty sure ESPN.com will be live-streaming a good chunk (if not all) of the games.
Not sure if the availability will have regional restrictions… but when I was in San Diego this past weekend, they had tons of ads promoting their coverage.
I would doubt that they’d stream live onto your iPhone… but I’m just putting out there what I know.
Hoping to watch the games while you’re at work?
- Zack CooperLOL, ya. I already have all the portugal game days booked off, even all the way to the semi-finals (here’s hoping). I was just hoping to watch all the other ones at work. Thanks very much for your time on this.
