PPR 54

On this very special episode of Press Pause Radio, we talk about the dangers of video game addiction. What happens when one more game or one more level spirals out of control and destroys relationships, jobs and other activities out of the virtual world? The crew will discuss this topic and more with the most responsible and well-adjusted person they know, the one and only Ballsrog. The gang-star of video games sits in on this episode and raps with the group about Skyrim, Mass Effect and how fat and stupid Dustin is. I believe that we are all in agreement on the last point, especially Toast. Thanks for downloading and listening to the show, please be sure to rate and review on iTunes and Zune so we can afford to pay off Ballsrog. He said he was going to fix our Xbox for us, too. I hope he comes back with those soon, last time we saw him he was at some company...

Life Through The Pixel Glass: Commander Shepard

 

We've been hearing more and more buzz about Mass Effect 3 this week and I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain how excited I am for the game's release in March. That being said, I found it only fitting that I share one of my favorite video game songs "Commander Shepard" by Miracle of Sound. The song isn't just amazing, it's extremely catchy! It isn't out of the ordinary to see me humming it at least five times a day. So, like every Mass Effect fan out there right now, play through the first two games again but this time with even more style now that you've aquired this awesome piece of music!

Life Through the Pixel Glass: Link's Awakening Minecraft

Welcome one and all to the newest feature hitting Press Pause Radio. It’s been a long time coming, but I, Catie, the squid-loving, Camaro-stalking, sailor-mouth squawking transformer of the internet present “Life through the Pixel Glass,” or LTPG for short. My goal with this feature is to shine some light on the finer displays of artworks or music influenced by the video game culture. Whether it's a re-imagined creation, or muse of entirely new material, you’ll find me posting about it right here. With that said…

A Behind The Scenes Look at Shoot Many Robots

Shoot Many Robots was a downloadable title we first saw at PAX East last spring, and was one of the games that we were really looking forward to as it neared completion. In that time Demiurge has shown the frantic shooter at various other conventions such as New York Comic Con and PAX Prime, as well as securing Ubisoft as the publisher. Now as the game inches closer to a release date, the developer has sent us a video showcasing how they are using their Seoul Engine to render the game in multiple ways, in order to test and look for various bugs in the gameplay. You can expect a full review on Shoot Many Robots when it releases on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network very soon. For more information check out shootmanyrobots.com.

QCF: To The Moon

I have stated on several occasions that I am looking for the video game equivalent of a Pixar movie; something that can touch on many different emotions, without being overbearing or pretentious at all. Most video games have had sad moments, but unfortunately they mostly feel forced or fail at telling a heart wrenching story at all. Freebird Games must have been reading my letters, because To The Moon accomplishes everything that I’ve asked for and by focusing on what is important in any great tale, To The Moon has quite the story to tell.
