Platforms Episode 23 – Dave’s Back!

Josh Philpott, Dave Kozicki and Denny Markovic (with David ‘Beardy’ McVay).

Platforms is a gamers podcast by gamers. The podcast is recorded live on Ustream with chat interaction so come and join the fun as your host candidly discuss the latest in the gaming world. The podcast is uncensored, explicit, honest and very non ‘PC’. We kick off this week with the trailer for ‘Bad Company 2’, this week’s feature review. This week we are again by Denny Markovic from PALGN

After Dave tells us about his adventure in the US at GDC we move into:

News This Week: Is a new Nintendo DS on the way? Josh fills us in on his Nintendo event and the new ‘Monster Hunter’, PS3 Motion announced, an epic new trailer for ‘Deus Ex 3’, rumours circle about Naughty Dog going multi-platform, a great new trailer for ‘Brink’ and are we all ready to be hamsters? This new concept in VR thinks we are.

Coming Soon Titles: This week: ‘Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver’ and ‘God of War 3’. Coming Soon: ‘Metro 2033’ and ‘Command and Conquer 4’.

Review of the Week: This week, an in depth review for ‘Bad Company 2’. This could well be the ‘Modern Warfare 2’ killer. Denny thinks it could be Multiplayer game of the year.

Opinion: This week, a discussion on what makes the best online games great.
