Pixels & Ink

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, Telltale goes crazy releasing two games in as many weeks, with a Game of Thrones and Borderland adventure game hitting digital shelves. Phil does the patriotic thing and watches a good old fashioned Canadian movie about good old fashioned Canadian values like torturing sorority girls to death, and Melanie has played LittleBigPlanet 3… which is pretty much like the other two, but with more stuff.

On this week’s Pixels & Ink podcast, there’s a new Highlander movie coming, and Tom Cruise might be in it. This is probably not a good thing. Phil has watched the latest Hunger Games sequel, and it’s pretty much what you’d expect from a single book split into two movies. Finally, this is a big week for games and we’ve played Super Smash Bros., Dragon Age Inquisition and Grand Theft Auto V.

On this week’s Pixles & Ink podcast, Dennis Dyack moves to Toronto with a brand new studio that’s still trying to make Shadows of the Eternal. Phil watches a lot of movies including Interstellar and Big Hero 6, and they make for a pretty good time at the movies. Finally, we’ve actually been playing The Evil Within and it’s a pretty good time for people looking for an old school, Resident Evil experience.

On this week’s CGM podcast, we actually get a new name! It’s Pixels & Ink , and it’s still all about the comics and games, although this week… it isn’t. Since it’s Halloween, we go over all the scary things in the geek kingdom, the scariest games, scariest comics and of course, scary movies and TV shows. It’s a lot of ground to cover, but we manage.

On this week’s CGM podcast, the GTA San Andreas might be coming back, but there’s still a question of what form it will return in. Phil returns from John Wick, the latest Keanu action vehicle, and it’s actually good. Finally, a batch of games from Tenkai Knights to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel make the rounds and the verdict is, terrible to not bad.

On this week’s CGM podcast, the PS4 firmware update is nigh, bringing colours, themes and the ability to play music from a USB stick. Phil watches The Guest, and it’s one of the best hybrid horror movies of the year. Finally, Alien: Isolation is out, and all the fear and anxiety can finally be put to the rest; not only is the game actually good, it’s scary.

On this week’s CGMagazine Podcast, Wayne is out of the office but Phil is here to tell us how Twin Peaks is back, at least will be back in 2016. The crew also look at all the new films that are out in theatres now, including Annabel, Gone Girl and the odd Nicholas Cage film Left Behind. Finally Mel talks about Disney Infinity and Phil jumps into the world of Super Smash Brothers and Hyrule Warriors.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Destiny gets nerfed, which is probably for the best, but it does make getting some of that sweet, sweet legendary loot a bit more difficult. Boxtrolls is a new stop motion film that’s actually good for the young and the young at heart, at least according to Phil, and Train Simulator 2015 is game that has choo-chooed its way into our collective warm and fuzzy feelings. No. Not really.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Tokyo Game Show has a load of news for fans of Final Fantasy and Silent Hill, and it’s a mix of good and bad news. Phil returns to the podcast after disappearing into the maelstrom that is the Toronto International Film Festival and he watched a lot. He takes the floor and talks about all the weirdness that people might have missed trying to watch the big hits.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Ragnar Tornquist and Red Thread games try to run a contest for music fans to donate a tune to their game… and get shut down by angry musicians claiming they are exploiting artists. Supergirl might actually be getting a TV show, but the logistics of networks, licensing and who gets to broadcast what make it dicey. Also, people might not be all that hot on Kara Zor-El anyway. Finally, Destiny is out, and it’s good! Not change your life forever good, but pretty good!

On this week’s CGM podcast, it’s a smaller crew, but fortunately lots of stuff happened! Samsung makes the first formal announcement for a VR unit… and it’s portable. Persona 5 finally got announced, and it looks like PS4 owners have nothing to worry about. Lastly, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is confirmed as Black Adam, which could mean amazing things for the movie world… as long as Warner Brothers doesn’t screw it up.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Sega announces Yakuza Zero in Japan, which makes all the Yakuza fans in the West wilt in frustration, since this is probably never going to get localized for English speakers. FanExpo gets underway and Melanie spoke to quite a few people at Ubisoft as well as some eSports organizers. And finally, there were a lot of games played over the week, including the new Second Son DLC, Tales of Xillia 2, and Plants vs. Zombies.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Activision and Ubisoft abandon the Wii U, Phil checks out A Dame To Kill For, and the verdict is that this noir extravaganza doesn’t embarrass itself, though whether that’s because of Robert Rodriguez or Frank Miller is up for debate. Finally, Sword Art Online gets a Vita game… and you’re better off sticking to the anime.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Microsoft snatches Lara Croft away from the rest of the gaming community by making the next game an exclusive. Hideo Kojima trolls the world with an amazing playable teaser that is not only terrifying, but announces a new Silent Hill game. And the Expendables make a passable return with a new cast of high caliber action stars… and Kelsey Grammer.

On this week’s CGM podcast, American litigation plummets to an all new low as Sony gets sued for pseudo-1080pness in Killzone: Shadowfall. New remasters enter the pipeline as Square-Enix and Capcom announce Sleeping Dogs and Resident Evil respectively. And hey, a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is out… which turns about as good as you’d expect…

On this week’s CGM podcast, Electronic Arts tries something a little different with a PlayStation Pluss-y new service. Phil goes over all the shenanigans that took place at the San Diego Comic-Con. There was a LOT. And finally, Guardians of the Galaxy hit the big screen, and it’s pretty good, just not all-time classic good.

On this week’s CGM podcast, a touching story about a son getting a chance to play with his dead father and tears flow all across the gaming internet. Phil combines intellectual caviar with philosophical Doritos when he watches Terry Gilliam’s Zero Theorem and Luc Besson’s Lucy. On the gaming side, the Destiny beta is eating up a lot of time, but there’s still room for a new Oddworld and Walking Dead game.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Microsoft has good news for the Xbox division with doubled sales, and bad news for 18,000 employees who are now out of a job. Phil watches The Purge 2 and it’s not the anarchic party that everyone was hoping for. Finally, retro hits like Another World return to new machines while anime hits like One Piece make the rounds for some serious fan service.

On this week’s CGM podcast, Sega and GameStop have a diabolical DLC plan that’s not going to make everyone happy. Phil watches two really good science fiction films and raves about both, and Brendan finally weighs in with his thoughts on Wolfenstein and the fact that maybe people shouldn’t be ignoring this recent shooter.

On this week’s CGM podcast, a Finnish gaming competition bars girls from entry, which was a bad idea, and the rest of the world let them know it. Phil watched a wannabe Amblin-esque movie about suburban adventures and aliens that actually succeeds. And then there’s that new Transformers game which is about as good as the movie it’s based on. Draw your own conclusions…
