Episode 58: Masochistic Gaming

This week in the The Rumble Pack. Tony, Nick and Tom dissect exactly how they’re having fun with Bionic Commando: Rearmed.  Tony talks up The Marriage and a boat load of other fancy “indie” games.

Then Tony and Kaz try and determine if Madden ’09 has improved from 08, except one of them played ’08 and one played ’09. Hilarity ensues. And Kaz ignites Tom’s love-hate relationship with Interactive Fiction (Text Adventures), by talking about Frotz for the iPhone.

Oh, and the whole group gets sidetracked by Too Human’s review performance.

About the Author

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.
