Official Playstation Blogcast

Fall releases are getting hot and heavy, as we both linger on some recent gems - The Unfinished Swan, XCOM - and dive into next week's aberration of a release lineup (both disc and PSN). Plus new Player Queries, User Tips, and a PSN Gem!

No big-name guests this week, just lots of geeky game talk. XCOM, Dishonored, The Walking Dead: Episode 4 and next week's jam-packed PSN lineup are discussed in great detail, with a smattering of Listener Queries to keep things lively. Enjoy!

ER MER GERD! So many great new games this week with Retro City Rampage and Dishonored just for starters. We bring in noted screenwriter and The Walking Dead Episode 4 writer Gary Whitta to talk zombie culture, share next week's PSN game lineup and much more. LESH BE FRUNDS

With PlayStation Mobile on the move, we sit down with PlayStation Mobile's Sarah Thomson to chat about the best launch games, PSM's future, and much more. Plus a Retro City of new PSN releases for 10/09!

A tearful reunion brings the boys back together, but pathetic blubbering quickly gives way to shrieking alien terror for a XCOM: Enemy Unknown interview. Plus a trifecta of Assassin’s Creed talkies, the new PSN releases for 10/02, and more!

PlayStation Blogcast regulars Nick, Sid, and Rey have flown the coop, leaving Jeff with a heaping pile of New Releases to tell you all about.

Dishonored and Borderlands 2 are on our mind this week, and it shows! We interview Arkane Studios' Raf Colantonio and Gearbox's Paul Hellquist for the latest intel on two of 2012's most-anticipated games. Plus: PSN releases for 9/18/12, new Player Queries, and assorted merriment. Listen in!

We emerge from the depths of PAX with no less than FIVE interviews, as we catch up with the various gentlemen behind Retro/Grade, Snapshot, Guacamelee!, Hitman: Contracts and Walking Dead Ep.3. Also the new PSN releases for 09/11, and an exotic guest!

It's the calm before the storm as we ruminate on the new 09/04 PSN releases, answer a boatload of Player Inquiries, go (wildly) off-topic, and extract both an Original Story and the ins and outs of marketing from Associate Product Manager David Bull.

The guys are back from Germany and boy are their schnitzels tired! But not too tired to interview various gentlemen behind Until Dawn, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted! + PSN releases for 08/28 and other summer jamz!

Gamescom is in the air! Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida joins us to discuss PlayStation's creative DNA and Gamescom announcements, The Last of Us stars Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (aka Joel and Ellie) share the secrets of videogame acting, and United Front Games reflects on Sleeping Dogs' long road to release. Plus: North American PSN releases for 8/21/12, Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified PS Vita impressions and much more.

No guests, no nonsense, just an internet podcast about four grown men who play video games and enjoy them. Said men discuss Sounds Shapes, Papo & Yo, and the new PSN releases for 08/14. Stick around for a Mass Effect 3 spoilercast at the end, if you dare.

Podcast Beyond's Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty join the crew to chat about the best games of 2012 so far, and look ahead to the most promising of the Fall. And of course, the new PSN releases for 08/07, a new PSN Gem, some Player Inquiries, whatevs!

The Unfinished Swan's Creative Director Ian Dallas spills his ink on the game, while Assassin's Creed 3's Lead Game Designer Steve Masters goes overboard on the game's ship combat. Puns! Plus the new PSN releases for 07/31, and a slew of Player Inqueries!

Interviews ahoy! Sid catches up with Randy Pitchford for a Borderlands 2 update, Jeff and Nick dive deep into Dyad with creator Shawn McGrath, and actor Kadeem Hardison talks about going from sitcoms to Beyond: Two Souls. Plus the 07/24 PSN releases!

Phwoah! Sid's back from EVO 2012 with a PlayStation All-Stars update from SuperBot's Omar Kendall and a meaty discussion with MK grandpappy Ed Boon on his upcoming project, Injustice: Gods Among Us. Plus the new PSN release for 07/17 (Dyad!) and MOAR.

A homecoming all around! We're home from E3, Nick is home from his African sojourn, you're home from work listening to this (hopefully). We catch up and wrap up E3 2012, argue about Prometheus, and dish out the new PSN releases for 06/19. Woo!
