Episode 80: Shocking Revelations
But who gets custody of the kids?!
We've been out of the game for a couple weeks, but we're back, with an early release to make up for our past infractions! And this one's a doozy, too, with around 80 minutes of pure podcast.
This week we go to town on topics of all types, from Pokemon Snap's release on the Virtual Console to Manhunt 2 getting its appeal in the UK to a game retail questionnaire posed to various presidential candidates. And, of course, there's that "shocking revelation" at the end.
See ya next episode, folks!

Two RFN podcasts in one week, huh? You guys sure are lucky! For this very special episode, Jonny talked to Mike Krahulik (better known to the internet as Gabe from Penny-Arcade) about the annual charity aimed at supplying video games and consoles for sick children in the hospital, Child's Play. If you haven't already read the text version, feel free to give the audio a listen.
A very special thanks to Mr. Krahulik and everyone at Penny-Arcade and Child's Play for doing the amazing work they do. Again, that's Child'sPlayCharity.org. Support the cause today and make a child's holiday that much easier to manage.

Episode 79: Too Many Games
Pride! Secret shame! This podcast has EVERYTHING!
This week's episode of RFN is out of the ordinary. You see, a while back we cut the "Whatcha Playin'" segment into "New Business," meant to cut down airtime dedicated to our latest purchases and reviewables. For the most part, it's been a good decision, but with the Holiday Rush of Awesome that is Winter 2007, we had no choice but to dedicate damn near the entire episode on what we're "playin'." Oh well...
What are those games? Fire Emblem, Mega Man ZX Advent, Portal, Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, and a whole lot more! And in the second segment, our old buddy Saturn asks us why we're still using those nasty, archaic review scores. This pretty much devolves into us talking about murder. Thems the breaks, I suppose.
ANYWAY...
See ya next episode, folks!

TGC – The Games Company obtains certification from Nintendo. Development and Publishing for Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ planned
Berlin, 27th November 2007: In 2008 the strategic orientation of the Berlin based publisher points towards next-gen consoles. In addition to its successful PC products TGC will be extending its portfolio with titles for Nintendo’s Wii console and for Nintendo DS. Proprietary as well as licensed products and commissioned productions for these consoles will then be published by TGC on its own initiative. As a certified Nintendo partner TGC will develop and publish Wii and Nintendo DS games for European, Australian and New Zeeland markets.
With this strategic decision TGC is entering a strongly growing market and setting the course for the expansion of business activities in the upcoming fiscal year. The company will announce the first console titles very soon with its line-up for 2008.
Markus Malti, CEO of TGC, comments on the accreditation by Nintendo: “The partnership with Nintendo emphasizes TGC’s ambitions as a multi-platform publisher. I am looking forward to the first projects we are going to realize for the two platforms."
Chicago, USA, November 26th, 2007 – Tatiana Makarova, “Nikitova Games" VP of Sales announces two of it's own new IP titles are currently in production and planned for release in 2008.
“We are happy to share the details of our own new IP titles with the gaming society. In accordance with our strategic plan for 2008, these two games will be designed for both the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles.
The first game, CCTV, is a game where the player assumes the role of a surveillance officer using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and police cars to catch petty criminals and most-wanted criminals alike. The player's aim is to clean up the streets of his city by finding his suspects and nailing them in this fast-paced, humorous game of observation, identification & interrogation. The game is designed to be played as either a single player, as two players co-operatively or as 2 players competing against one another.
The second game, Mind Games, is a selection of 21 mini-games based on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) of "computeribrainized" tests developed in Cambridge University by a celebrity female neuropsychology professor and her team and used in science and medicine in 500 institutes and hospitals in 50 countries worldwide, to analyze the performance and activity of various areas of the brain. Mind Games is being developed for both the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles, allowing one or two players of any age to have fun while they are learning, said Tatiana Makarova.
“CCTV and Mind Games, as well as other Nikitova Games' title details, can now be found at a brand new web site, www.NikitovaGames.com"; Alex Godun, Nikitova Games’ Head of Marketing added.
November 2007, London, United Kingdom - Wrapstar has teamed up with D3P to produce Ben 10 skins for a promotional campaign in Australia.
The Ben 10 skins were used as a promotional giveaway with copies of the new Nintendo DS Ben 10 game in an exclusive deal with Australian retail giant Toys ‘R’ Us.
The campaign has been so popular that over 600 units were sold in the game’s first week of release, more than any other format or retailer down under.
Wrapstar has much previous success with producing promotional skins. Past pre-order campaigns have included skins for EA’s My Sims title as well as Atari’s Arthur and The Invisibles and Tamagotchi.
Wrapstar skins are a distinctive way to customise, refresh and protect gaming machines and iPods. Made of unique high-quality cast vinyl, the skins are designed to maintain a vibrant, glossy finish and to resist general wear and tear. Wrapstar’s top-secret special adhesive also ensures that no sticky goo is left behind on your device upon removal of the skin.
The range now includes many new and existing designs as well as promotional skins and licensed designs, such as Wrapstar’s Rugby Football Union (RFU) skins.
Wrapstar Managing Director Max Haddow says, “Wrapstar’s Promotional skins allow publishers and developers to brand gaming machines with their titles. These act as a constant reminder to the user as well as having the added benefit of continual advertisement of their brands to a wider audience. The benefits of using our skins as an added value, pre-order campaign or bundle deal has seen huge uplifts in sales of the software, particularly with Ben 10".
The full range of designs can be viewed on the website at www.wrapstar-skins.com
