It’s no secret that I LOVE turn-based strategy games, so when I first played this week’s XBLA title Commanders: Attack of the Genos I got a little giddy.
Commanders is a turn-based tactical strategy game supporting 15 single-player campaing missions, 4 player multiplayer over LIVE (2 player local play), and pretty sweet graphics. It costs 800 ms points, and will be arriving on Wednesday, February 13th.
I had the chance to talk to Terry Coleman a Producer at Sierra Online about the game. I cannot wait until Wednesday!
Shoutout to Terry Coleman, and Kevin Vlaming over at Sierra Online for all their help. Check out the game’s official website for more details.

Go ahead and say I’m biased, but Xbox LIVE is the best online service for a console, period. They say the proof is in the pudding, so enjoy a giant bowl of delicious Xbox LIVE pudding as we talk about some of the new features in the Fall Update.
While we have already talked about the new Parental Timer, Games on Demand, and the Friends of Friends features, the lovely and talented Nelson Rodriguez has put together a video featuring the lovely and talented Tony and Chris to talk about some of the new features. The video shows the beta version, so expect some visual changes for the actual launch.
For those of you that prefer “reading”, here are some of the details:
Xbox LIVE Arcade Hits - There will be permanent discounts on some of the best-selling Arcade titles. The first games to become Arcade Hits will be “Bankshot Billiards 2” and [...]

Imagine it is the Monday before Thanksgiving. You’re staring down the barrel of a long holiday weekend, you’ve been denied preorders at every store in town, and your team copy of Rock Band is missing in action. That is no campfire horror story, but our real life. Our latest documentary captured the drama as it unfolded.
Epilogue: After the video was shot (and after many calls and driving adventures), we turned to the highest authorities in the land. Our significant others found us each a Rock Band bundle. The moral to the story, never give up hope. To say this game is awesome is almost an insult to the game experience. You have to play it to believe it.
(This entire blog post is based on actual events. No ears were harmed while filming.)

BioWare has an innovative way to handle talking in Mass Effect with their dialog wheel. As Jeff Bell explains, we’ve been doing that for a while here at Microsoft, but some folks just haven’t gotten the hang of it.
Mass Effect ships to retailers this Tuesday (November 20th, 2007), although looking at my friends list, apparently some retailers have been selling it for weeks.

You get the point that LIVE is 5 now, so we won’t mention that LIVE is 5. We WILL mention that Carcassonne is available free for 48 hours. (starting this morning) to download.
We noticed on the forums some people didn’t understand Carcassonne, so Nelson and I thought it’d be a good idea to do a tutorial.
Tony and John called us to say that we didn’t have time to do the video. I wonder how they knew…
We decided that it was worth 90 seconds to explain that Carcassonne is an XBLA version of a popular German strategy board game.
The gist is that you are trying to get points by expanding your territory through roads, castles, monasteries, and farms - while preventing the other players from expanding. It’s sort of like the movie Scarface, but with medieval French farmers.
Each turn you draw one of 71 tiles at random, and place it on [...]

This week, John and Tony are away, so Nelson and I have free reign MUHAHAHA!
We did a little different recording, this was a straight shot, no editing, talk for 30-35 minutes and then stop. Let us know how you like it as it was INCREDIBLY easy on me to edit it - just add music. An unfortunate side-effect is that there are no outros this week.
Also, with the new Zune Client currently unable to edit metadata tags *ahem*, I had to do it elsewhere, I apologize if our tags are now screwed up - let us know if anyone has issues.

We’re back! Nelson will be arriving Monday to bring great justice to our podcast, but for this week you are stuck with us. We’re going to be trying to look into the future 1 week so that if I continue to edit these shows late, and get them up on Friday, you guys still find it pertinent.
For those who have Spike TV, the show Game Head will be having a heaping slice of Mass Effect including a HAWT sizzle trailer (Semsey told me to spell hot like that). The show is on tonight (Friday) at 1am!

A podcast so interesting - that it took an entire week to edit it.
We had a rough week, so it’s another podcast with heavy banter - hopefully you’ve been enjoying the banter - regardless let us know what you think!
Also - we have outros on our podcasts - just sayin’.
