In an attempt not to walk in the footsteps of giants we decided to abandon the original discussion of reviews and scores at the last minute and instead focus on the recent Japanese top selling games and Final Fantasy 13 news as seen in Famitsu. I say ‘seen in Famitsu’ because I can’t read most of it so it’s more an impressions piece than a factual commentary. As always we also discuss some recent news and dip into ‘Darren’s Old Games’. This podcast Darren reminisces about hours spent floating around lost in Elite on the Amiga, and I reminisce about watching him floating around lost in Elite. We also invent the Wii game name generator, so if you come up with one please post it in the comments. The format is simple; Job > Name > Event > Game genre > Event > Generic game word The results sound worryingly like next years best selling game as long as you attach ‘for Wii’ and ‘by Nintendo’ to the box art. Enjoy. news, podcast Alex and Darren no no http://dofuss.net/2009/01/23/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-publisher-of-the-year/ http://dofuss.net/2009/01/23/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-publisher-of-the-year/#comments Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:40:17 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=519 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/23/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-publisher-of-the-year/feed/ 0 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/20/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-developer-of-the-year/ http://dofuss.net/2009/01/20/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-developer-of-the-year/#comments Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:53:26 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=524 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/20/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-developer-of-the-year/feed/ 0 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/16/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-handheld-game-of-the-year/ http://dofuss.net/2009/01/16/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-handheld-game-of-the-year/#comments Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:39:26 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=514 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/16/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-handheld-game-of-the-year/feed/ 0 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/14/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-downloadable-game-and-content-of-the-year/ http://dofuss.net/2009/01/14/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-downloadable-game-and-content-of-the-year/#comments Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:03:42 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=507 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/14/dofuss%e2%80%99s-2008-top-downloadable-game-and-content-of-the-year/feed/ 1 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/12/the-dofuss-podcast-%e2%80%93-in-memory-of-1up/ http://dofuss.net/2009/01/12/the-dofuss-podcast-%e2%80%93-in-memory-of-1up/#comments Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:47:50 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=502 http://dofuss.net/2009/01/12/the-dofuss-podcast-%e2%80%93-in-memory-of-1up/feed/ 4 1:15:41 A melancholy grips us today with the news last week that Ziff Davis Media sold its games division to UGO.

The take over saw the close of EGM one of America’s biggest gaming magazines and the loss of more than 60% of their staff. Most of these staff are already producing new content at various sites (some links on the right) and we wish them and 1up all the best. But it’s 2009 and new starts abound. Darren is now in possession of a Wii so he is now able to contribute to discussions. In spite of this Darren still insisted on starting his ‘Old Games’ section of the show (Darren doesn’t like the word retro). This week he’s remembering Bullfrog’s Syndicate. We also have the obligatory game of 2008 discussion and a quick chat about our hopes for 2009. It’s a bit long this week but at least it’s on time. Enjoy.

With the only agenda being our respective Christmas experiences and the year in games its even more off-topic than previous episodes. That said we do get around to discussing the years games as well as Darren finally playing a game released in the last ten years (on the iPhone no less). We also talk about our New Year resolutions and how articles on the site are going to change focus. Happy Holidays everyone. (Notice I didn’t say sorry this time). podcast Alex and Darren no no
