I’m joined by the regular crew of Perry, Todd and Andrew this week for a pretty packed show. We kick things off by talking about the very disappointing release of AMY. It’s a game that is getting pretty much universally panned, Perry and I talk about some of the reasons why. We also wonder if there’s any chance the game could be saved by post release patches much like Hydrophobia.

Other than that it’s up to Andrew to talk about what he’s been playing, as the rest of us haven’t played all that much. Thankfully his games lead us into an interesting discussion about XBLA multiplayer communities and whether bad games being released have any affect on them.

Perry grabs a few of the notable news stories from the last week for us to talk about, including a few Double Fine related snippets.

Sorry for the late show this week folks, lots of technical difficulties this week. As such the podcast may sound a bit odd in places, little jumps in audio and such. Not ideal but it shouldn’t effect your enjoyment of the show too much.

In this weeks episode we talk about the upcoming House Party promotion and then take the opportunity to discuss our most anticipated games of 2012.

2010 was a pretty great year for XBLA games. It’s hard to think it could be topped. Yet here we are at the end of 2011 with a crop of games that are arguably even better than last year. XBLA has continued to grow throughout 2011 and the diversity of games continues to rise.

We saw the year kick off with unique games like ilomilo, zeit2, and Stacking and it ends with impressive titles like Dungeon Defenders, Joe Danger: Special Edition and Trine 2. We’ve come a long way since the days of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.

As a result this year’s XBLAFans Game of the Year awards were even more hotly contested than last year, with a few of the categories coming down to just a couple of votes. The list of nominees for the grand prize was almost excessive and could easily have gone into double digits. So without further ado, we are proud to present the second annual XBLAFans Game of the Year awards. Read More
