Why do you guys want to argue against the guys who like podcasts with the argument "Reading is better", because it is completely different. Like the dude said you plug in your mp3 player on the ride to work and listen to something you want. No one is saying you should listen to it or like it...

Let me be clear that I agree with you if it is just people reading or retreading news from their site and I don't listen to PC Gamer podcast, which that sounds like what was going on there. But I won't go as far as calling people idiots for liking that like the last poster I was responding to...

How is that a strange analogy? If I ask my friend how match in CoH, or any game for that matter, I wouldn't want to receive a 1500 word email saying, well first I did, then I did, then I did, etc. Thats the same kind of thing you get out of GFW sometimes, impressions and tips more elaborate...

You sure have a sunny outlook on the world. Kidding aside, it is a different way of interfacing with people to talk about games. The ones that do it right take the content and descriptions well beyond that of written articles. I would rather listen to a guy describe a battle in CoH for a...

I generally agree with your assessment of podcasts, but one I like for the most part is GFW Radio. They tend to skip all the crap like "runs at 30 FPS with bump mapped blah blah blah". They focus on breaking down the gameplay and some of the guys have given some really good tips and insight...

So by your train of thought, us "xbox playing casual gamers" are somehow inferior because we would rather have fun playing a game, rather than listening to a story. I'm not saying Halo was the greatest story ever, or even a good story, but to say it can't be good because of it is a little...

My point with those games is that the gameplay was so awesome that I was compelled to see the ending and thought "Ok that was pretty cool." There are several other games I feel that way about, but for many of them, I just love the gameplay and just don't care about the story, like Starcraft or...

Never played, but I find it hard to believe that it would have been so great as to rival many of the "classics" in literature, film and even television. Of course this is all opinion based, but games that I find have good stories (fallout 1, half life, the first half of bioshock) still pale in...

Good article, I can't wait to hear more about the gameplay. Games should be all about the gameplay, because if its a "good" story (obviously not, compared to books or movies), but has crappy gameplay, why is it worth $60 to play. Hopefully, his sentiment comes through for the game and it will...
