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 ‘Heavy Rain’, this week’s feature review. This week we are joined by Nathan Lawrence and Joab Gilroy, editor of Game Arena (gamearena.com.au)
News This Week: R18+ rating discussion paper update, ‘Portal 2’ news and awesome viral campaign, an update on the Infinity Ward fiasco, 2K Games makes delay announcements, a fake ‘Altered Beast’ picture fools Josh and we watch the trailer for ‘Battleblock Theater’.
Coming Soon Titles: This week: ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ and ‘Resident Evil 5’ Alternative Version. Coming Soon: ‘Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver’ and ‘God of War 3’.
Review of the Week: This week, an in depth review for ‘Heavy Rain’. Not well received well by anyone. Bad control mechanics don’t help what is essentially just an interactive movie.
