Today on the Northern Geekcast, Bryan and I discuss Tony Hawk Ryde and it's crazy controller, the Gears of War movie, the possibility of David Jaffe making a new Twisted Metal game, and BioWare's decision to make a Dragon Age: Origin paper and pen RPG. Oh, and we also say good-bye to Duke Nukem and 3D Realms, on this relatively short podcast. video,games,,anime,,geeks,,Canadian,,comics,,webcomics,,reviews,,news J.L.J-F.

But, if you're here for the Northern Geekcast, you've come to the right place! On this episode, we revisit our discussions about Blockbuster and PETA, we get "controversial" with Six Days in Fallujah, and we share our thoughts on (and dread of) the Shadow of the Colossus movie. In Designer's Corner we go over what we'd like to see in the new Square MMO, and during General Geekeries, we talk about our failed attempt at a 24-Hour Comic Day.

Backnbsp; from the depths of Vana'diel is Darren, who joins us for a discussion on game design theory, as we try and aswer the age ol' question: "What is a game?" We go over some of the more interesting news items from the past two weeks, such as the PSP2 rumours, Capcom's list of new games, and a few articles that left us scratching our heads, like Guiness making it's own Top 50 Games of All Time list.

The group, being sans Darren once again this week, does its best to cover the Midway Bankrupcy, Square Enix's latest bid for Eidos, and the smack talk that's been going on between EA and Activision. We also talk a little "bit" aboutnbsp; GTAIV: The Lost and Damned, Dead Rising 2, and Codemasters' new promo. Designer's Corner returns this week with an indepth look at Skate 2, and in General Geekeries we discuss the business of "americanizing" things which come from Japan.

After being sick for the past couple of weeks (me), it turned out that it was both Darren and Eva's turn this Satruday; therefore, it was up to Bryan and I to pick up the slack and turn our podcasting engines on overdrive! In this episode, we put a lid on Bob's Game, we offer our condolences to the members and fans of 1Up, and discuss the future ofnbsp; video game print media. We then toss around our thoughts on Atlus Online, Red Dead Redemtion and Scott Pilgram VS The Universe. All this, and much, much more, on our longest podcast yet! Addendum: I just noticed there's a glitch at around the 7-8 minute, which lasts for a minute or so. Other than that it should play fine. I'm curently trying to fix the file, and I'll add a second addendum once the fixed file has been uploaded. Addendum 2: File should work fine now. Enjoy! News,,Podcast J.L.J-F.

Also, here are a few articles from Gamasutra concerning some interesting presentations that were showcased during the event. The first by David Braben; the second, by Jonathan Blow.
