GHR Radio Episode 202 – Whistlin’ Dixie

January 27th, 2012
By: Alfred "GHR Maverick"


So we are kicking off 2012 with a bang. Flight Speaker, “Please make sure your seats are back and your tray tables are in their upright and locked positions.” We’re about to go for a ride and I hope that everyone is ready for a great 2012 of GHR. Dragon and Captain Niche cross the burning sands as we start the new year with some new hosts. Pizza Guy writes into the loveSack which continues our discussion from last week. Maverick updates us on his time away from gaming and if he saw the burning bush on his journey into the desert. Did someone say Evil. There is more evil roaming around Resident Evil than Albert Wekser? Will racism be a factor in RE6? We talk about it. Our Resident Alan Wake fan has some trepidation about purchasing American Nightmare D1C. These Xbox rumors all seem to be coming from the same dang source. Hmmmm…Is Microsoft releasing their own rumors??? Things that make you go hmmmm……Is it advantageous to release a new system in 2012 right as the 360 is hitting it’s stride. So much gaming talk that these mere words can not sum up all of the craziness. We love your feedback. Let us know what you think! Enjoy da Show

Episode One Ninety Five :: 5′s a Crowd

December 1st, 2011
By: Alfred "GHR Maverick"

Turkey Time, Turkey Time! The Gamerhusbands get together for another epic mashup show of sorts.  Last week we recorded with Podcasting Heavyweights, The 40 Cast, and this week we bring another show full of laughs. With the help of Bob, Co-Host of the Lagfree podcast, JD and Kevin we discuss open world games and how Saints Row has changed Open World games. Someone check Maverick’s temperature, because he has positive things to say about Modern Warfare III. Sam continues his disgust with the HALO REMAKE MULTIPLAYER. Yes, Sam bought Halo one for the multiplayer??? He also received some constructive criticism from one of our AWESOME listeners! Finally, someone pointed the cross hairs at Sam instead of Maverick. We talk turkey…..Literally. How do you like your turkey? and what time is thanksgiving dinner served at your casa? We talk different cultures and arriving at the table, CPT. Good game talk, and we try to stay away from being douche……well, except JD. Enjoy!

Corpse Toss! Review (iOS)

November 22nd, 2011
By: Full Tilt 101

In October I was able to get to New York Comic Con and experience it. If you’ve never been there, it’s a daunting experience. There’s just so much there including comics, Steampunk shops, LoTR, Video Games, Gamer Furniture, everything under the geek sun.

Accompanying me this year was my 8 year old and one thing that caught his eye and stayed with him was a silly little iOS game called Corpse Toss. He sat down and played it on the floor and was enthralled for 10 minutes. I eventually dragged him away with the promise that we would buy it when it came out.

The premise is simple, you are an undertaker and you like whacking corpses with shovels. The further the corpse goes, the more money you get. It’s a real simple mechanic too, reminiscient of kicking in football games. You have a moving bar dictating your height and another dictating your strength.

As you get money you can level up your character. The meters can go slower, the undertaker’s strength gets stronger, you can buy bombs and trampolines and buzz saws all of which increase the distance. There are also speciality corpses with different bonuses.

I enjoy the overall artistic theme of the program. It’s comically Halloween and fits very nice with this game.

This is a simple game but that’s where it shines. It’s easy enough to pick up for 5 minutes, good enough that my 8 year old played it for hours until everything was unlocked. It’s only a dollar and well worth the money. My boy says it’s one of the best iOS games he’s played.

Hope you enjoy it, and if you don’t then you are just two clicks away from the Hateamil button. Let us know how you feel. We dig the honesty. Enjoy the show and thank you for all of the support!

Get your open world gangbanging on in Gangstar Rio: City of Saints

November 6th, 2011
By: Alfred "GHR Maverick"

If gangsters with open shirts, hairy chests draped in gold chains, and hot women in the car makes you smile, then Gangstar Rio might be a game to check out. Some of the AAA sandbox games are being released, and it’s perfect timing for one to come to our handhelds and tablet devices. Gangstar Rio grabbed my attention with the trailer. Some of the goodies include; heliocopters, planes, ATV’s, and big gune. These are essentials for a good open world. Hopefully it has an entertaining narrative too. This game is coming to Iphone, Ipad and Android devices, so most people will have a chance to play it.

The Most Awesome Trailer Ever

November 5th, 2011
By: Alfred "GHR Maverick"

I’m not even going to put into words what I just saw. The phrase, “if we think it, we can make it,”  applies to this toy box filled adventure. As many wait to payback Russia in Modern Warfare 3, or  chase down flying dragons in, The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim, there is a choose your own adventure in Saints Row:The Third. Just watch the trailer, and i’m sure you will be wondering where to insert quarters.

Ninpo and You: More Announced Changes In Ninja Gaiden 3

				October 24th, 2011
 By: ShoNuff71 

				

					


SiliconEra has reported on some Tweets from Team Ninja regarding info on Ninja Gaiden 3 – specifically, the new role Ninpo will play, and how Ultimate Techniques are activated in the upcoming title.


In the past, Ninpo had more than one use. The fireball was a good way to lay heavy damage on a single enemy (I used it mostly during boss fights), while the electric Ninpo was good at zapping multiple enemies at close range. Also, Ninpo had another useful benefit–Ryu was invincible during the startup animations and execution of the magic; providing nifty method of bypassing a heavy damage boss attack. 


Now, per Team Ninja’s tweets, Ninpo serves as the only means in which Ryu can regain health. No more elixir bottles or blue karma orbs. Instead, the Dragon Ninpo will devour enemies which will in turn give Ryu health. The more enemies consumed, the more health Ryu gets, so there is a “high risk, high return” element to Ryu’s health management. What isn’t mentioned is whether or not the Dragon Ninpo will be the only magic Ryu will have access to.


There’s a substantial change to the Ultimate Techniques as well. Before, you absorbed karma orbs into your weapon by pressing down hard attack, or held down hard attack long enough for your weapon to build enough energy. Now, Ryu’s arm glows red after a few enemies are slain, and when the strong attack button is held down, the Ultimate Technique is unleashed. Per the tweet, you can cancel out of a combo and go into a UT.


To be honest, this is really the first promising news that I’ve heard that the Ninja Gaiden I remember may not be totally lost to the dark abyss of mainstream mediocrity. I like the risk/reward with the Ninpo, and I like the change in how UTs can be used. I can see how combo canceling could be quite punishing in boss encounters. I just hope that these changes will rely on player skill to be used effectively instead of being a mainstream crutch to lure the casual on board.
