PPR 46

Press Pause Radio does not condone or reccommend that any of our listeners let a PPR cast member babysit your kids. Episode 46 not only proves this, but also alienates fans of any age. This week will will touch on recent news from Gamescom as well as welcome a few friends to the show. We welcome the former host of Pixel Dreams Drew to the show, a long time friend and supporter of the show. Another great supporter of the show, Dan also joins us and brings some sanity to the recording.

Hironobu Sakaguchi: Sad About The Last Story NTSC

Operation Rainfall stole plenty of headlines in the gaming world, and Press Pause Radio was no exception with our Summer of Nintendo article last week. Just recently the head of The Last Story’s Mistwalker studios, Hironobu Sakaguchi, also expressed his feelings about Nintendo’s reluctance to release this game in the US.

“I’m so sad about US,” he said on his Facebook page, shortly after posting that The Last Story was, in fact, coming to Europe.

QCF: Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

Among my summer activities, one of my favorites happens to be exploring planets -- particularly ones that are insane, twisted, and shadowy.

QCF: Catherine

Relationships can be difficult; they can be frustrating, and take time and effort to be successful. This also describes the gameplay of Catherine, the first next generation title from the developers of the Persona series.

Bullet Heaven HD, Episode 38- Shooter: Space Shot

In episode 34 of Bullet Heaven, we looked at a virtually unknown gem called Shooter: Starfighter Sanvein. It was an example of a $10 budget game done right, and scored very well as a result. Shooter: Space Shot is Starfighter Sanvein's direct predecessor in North America in the A1 line of games (though developed by different company) and shows that shooters for less don't necessarily mean good value...
