|
20 |

21 |
Explicit037 - Kirby's Epic Yarn | Spoilers: They were split again. Kids, this is what happens when you have an even number of voters. Remember that for when you start your own review podcast. Also, more spoilers, this game is really effing good. Wrapup begins at around 22 minutes if you didn't read the spoilers, or look at the badge, or just didn't believe me. Intro Music by Weezer Outro Music by the Vitamin String Quartet | 11/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
22 |
Explicit036 - Costume Quest | Don't let the badge fool you, we were DEAD* split on this one. *see what I did there? Wrapup starts at 29:00 if you want to just skip to the candy-flavored bloodbath. Intro: Marilyn Manson Outro: The National | 11/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
23 |
ExplicitSE002 - Move Impressions | The easiest part about giving you answers about the Playstation Move? Picking the intro and outro music. There is no wrap-up per se. You will just have to listen to the whole thing. Believe me, you will be entertained. Intro Music: DJ Hero Outro Music: Outkast | 9/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
24 |
Explicit035 - Halo Reach | If they would just let me play as master chef I could have saved the planet AND prepared a light but filling meal. They didn't. Seems like they wanted to grill something heavier. Wrapup begins at 36:40 if you want to find out how it ends before it begins....or something. What was the tagline again?

|
27 |
Explicit032 - Modnation Racers | Buckle up because Reviewcast is about to kick the tires and light the fires as Aaron and Alex wave the checkered flag on ModNation Racers. Okay that's pretty much all the racing cliches I know. What I'm trying to say is that you need to listen to this thing to find out why ModNation Racers is worth your hard earned money, and why it almost wasn't. Now are you gonna walk, or am I gonna have to carry ya. C'mon, like I wasn't going to make a Days of Thunder reference. Intro: Metallica-Fuel Outro: The Arcade Fire-No Cars Go | 6/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
28 |
Explicit031 - Prince of Persia TFS | As the 4th game in the "Sands of Time" Trilogy, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten sands has a lot of splainin' to do. Will it live up to the original 3? Does it's feel as fresh as them? Who forgot how to count? You have questions? We pretend we have answers Wrapup begins around 35:48 if you want to rewind to the end...wait what? Intro Music by Everlast Outro Music by Sufjan Stevens | 6/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
29 |
Explicit030 - Alan Wake | I can't say that I expected this. This game should have been THE end all, be all of Survival Horror games. It almost gets there...and that is the worst part. You have to watch it nearly succeed, over and over. Wrapup begins at 41:33 for those of you just wearing her as a skin. Intro Music by Ben Folds Outro Music by Old Gods of Asgard | 5/27/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
30 |
Explicit029 - Monster Hunter Tri | Not sure what to say about this one. You should probably just listen to it. Wrapup starts at 29:56 if you just want to get to the killing. Intro Music by Gnarls Barkely Outro Music by Evanescence | 5/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
31 |
Explicit028 - Splinter Cell Conviction | I'll break it down for you. Fish over-analyzes the game, Aaron references Batman and cinema, and Plachy spends most of the time near the toilet. It's a pretty vanilla Reviewcast in that regard. But you'll listen because you want to know what we think. Wrapup starts at 54:17 if you want to run the risk of being killed in the dark by a bearded hobo. Intro music by The Prodigy Outro music by Nine Inch Nails | 4/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
32 |
Explicit027 - Borderlands DLC 1 | It's the dry season for game releases, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve some quality time with Fish and Plachy. Luckily 2K Games decided that this was the perfect time to release a disk of the 6 month old DLC for Borderlands. Thank them...and us. Wrapup starts at 22:00 if you just want to skip directly to the post-apocalypse. Intro Music By Ratatat Outro Music By The Chemical Brothers | 4/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
33 |
Explicit026 - Red Steel 2 | I want to tell you about The Matador. How its elegance and ferocity marinate your being until your very core is soaked in that zesty Face Buckle taste. I want to tell you about it...but I cannot. The Matador is something to be experienced, not retold. Wrapup starts at 23:04 if you want to steal our Space Sword. Intro Music: 'Hey Montana' by Eve 6 Outro Music: 'Capital G' by Nine Inch Nails | 3/30/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
34 |
Explicit025 - God of War 3 | Remember the Punch-Out! Reviewcast? The one where we gushed about the game for 15 minutes instead of sending you to buy it? Yeah, this is just like that, only longer. I don't want to spoil the review, but if you aren't buying this game, you're broken. Wrapup starts at 46:14 if you have chosen to defy the God of War. Intro Music by DJ Shadow Outro Music by T.I. (Featuring J.T.) | 3/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
35 |
Explicit024 - Heavy Rain[SPOILERCAST] | SPOILERS ABOUND in the uncut version of last week's Reviewcast. If you have beaten Heavy Rain and want to hear us talk about all the spoilery bits, you have come to the right place. If you DON'T want to be SPOILED then you should TURN BACK NOW. Intro Music: Madonna - Rain Outro Music: Peter Gabriel - Red Rain | 3/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
36 |
Explicit023 - Heavy Rain | So do I make a quicktime event joke here? Maybe a "lol, they're french" joke? I have no idea what to say. I don't want to spoil anything in the Reviewcast, which tries hard not to spoil the game, so I'll just say "Baguette". Wrapup starts at 55:07 if you just want to find out who the Origami killer is (here's a hint, they're French.) | 3/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
37 |
Explicit022 - Dante's Inferno | This game is the most succinct use of the Hell License we have ever seen. I mean, we felt like we were in Hell while we played it. It's THAT realistic. You may be put off by the badge, but this game does a great job of making you feel like you're in hell. Intro Music: "Whitey" by Everlast. Outro Music: "Satan is my Master" by Ben Folds Five | 2/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
38 |
Explicit021 - Bioshock 2 | Bioshock didn't need a sequel. Hell, I would argue that it didn't want a sequel. But a sequel it got. Now its up to Fish, Plachy, and Aaron to justify why it's worth your time. (And yes, I realize it was a plane, not a helicopter. You'll understand later) Wrapup starts at 46:50. Would you kindly listen to the whole thing instead? | 2/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
39 |
Explicit020 - Mass Effect 2 | Reviewcast returns en masse (see what I did there?) with their review of Mass Effect 2. By now you have probably talked to someone who has played it and they probably raved about it. Do Fish and Plachy agree? Listen and find out! The wrapup begins 33 minutes in for you filthy dialogue skippers. | 2/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
40 |
Explicit019 - Left 4 Dead 2 | The 2k9 sequel season goes out with a bang. With the first game winning over the hearts and minds of 4pc last year, the bar was set very high for this surprise sequel. Does it reach or, like this flavor text, does it fall victim to cliche? Special shout out to the guys who helped us get some Versus mode under our belt in time for the review. Team Awesome: Tim Steve Adam Drew Pete We couldn't have done it without you guys! | 12/4/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
41 |
Explicit018 - Assassin's Creed 2 | The first Assassin's Creed was a polarizing game. Fish and Aaron have called it their most disappointing game of all time while Plachy loved every minute of it. How did the three of them feel about the sequel? If only there were a way to find out... Wrapup begins at 49:26 for those of you who just want to stab Templars in the face. | 11/26/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
42 |
ExplicitSE001 - DJ Hero | On a very special episode of Reviewcast, Fish is abducted by the Pixelosophy boys and forced to review a music game. This is the extracted audio from the video that Plachy found in the kidnapper's safe house. Did Fish survive? Is DJ Hero good? Listen now! Wrapup starts at 26:40 for those of you who just wants to hear Fish cry. | 11/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Explicit017 - Modern Warfare 2 | Imagine for a moment that you are in the brig of a pirate ship. Your feet are shackled to the musty floorboards and the neck restraint has redefined the word "chaffing". Suddenly, Jesus bursts through the hull and saves you. That's what MW2 is like. Wrapup starts at 41:55 for you neutral Switzerland types. Pick a side already you lazy a*****es. | 11/19/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
44 |
Explicit016 - A Crack in Time | Fish and Plachy are lost in the land of Insomniac Games' newest Opus Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time. Their only hope of survival is winning over the heart of Chris, the crotchety series veteran, and hope he finds the kindness to lead them out. Wrapup starts at 34:00 if you want to skip ahead to see who eats who. | 11/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
45 |
Explicit015 - Borderlands | The Review Crew takes a break from grinding and loot gathering to review the game they have spent so much time playing. Based on that you would probably assume that they think you should play it too... Well, you know what they say about assumptions. Wrap up starts around 35:10 for you loot w***es. | 11/5/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
46 |
Explicit014 - Brutal Legend | Tim Schafer builds incredible worlds with incredible characters based on incredible ideas, but is Brutal Legend an incredible game? The Review Crew tags in Aaron (from Pixelosophy) to try and help them make that determination. Wrapup starts up at 32:45 for those of you who don't want to maximize your rock out. | 10/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
47 |
Explicit013 - Uncharted 2 | Games like Uncharted 2 come with a certain expectation based on their pedigree. Considering the fact that 2/3rds of the Review Crew hated the first Uncharted I think it's safe to say that pedigree, in their eyes, was crap. But is that what Uncharted 2 is? Wrapup starts at 39:45 for those of you who just want to get straight to the looting of GOLD. | 10/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
48 |
Explicit012 - Dead Space Extraction | Dead Space was the Review Crew's game of the year last year so there were high expectations for it's Wii followup. Does Extraction meet the hype? Is it worthy of the Dead Space name? Does it waggle well? Listen and find out! We give our final thoughts around 36:00 so you can skip ahead if you want to be naughty (I know that you do.) | 10/8/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Explicit011 - Halo 3: ODST | We expected great things and said bold statements but in the end, does the game hold up? Plachy and Fish dive deep into the marrow of ODST in the hopes of finding a cure for the Bungie Design Blues. Wrapup starts at 37:00 for those of you who just want to eat your dessert now. | 10/1/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Awsome
I truly think you guys do a good job at reviewing video games. I listen to you guys to keep myself up to date with news and reviews. You guys are preety passionate about video games and thats preety cool considering that you guys review them. Keep it up guys, Great job!!
Specifics
This is an excellent venue to get reviews on the more popular game releases. I find it superior to other game journalism websites' written reviews for many reasons. For one, each episode is dedicated to one title, and can be anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes of pertinent information, substantiated opinions and sometimes entertaining debate. Since it's in the form of an audio podcast, as opposed to a written article, it also inherits the luxury of being presented in a passive format, so you don't have to go out of your way to spend time reading it. You can listen to it on your commute or while working. There will usually be anywhere between 2 and 5 persons offering separate opinions on a game. They communicate well the aspects of gaming they like, so it is very easy for the listener to identify with at least one of their perspectives. That in itself is superior to most other internet review sites, most of which are written by a single freelancer, not to mention the common accusation of reviews being biased by bribing PR representatives...
Lastly, the best part of this review system is that it does not follow the traditional numeric rating system, whether that range from 1 to 5 or from 0.1 to 10.0, which no matter how you cut it up always comes down to a single vague number. The games are given one of four simple ratings, from multiple people. They don't always agree, but they give you a short, simple, direct descriptive rating of the game, preceded by a comprehensive approach to explain that rating. By the end of the show, the listener will have a crystal clear idea if the game is a classic, if they should definitely buy it, or just try it out for a weekend, or to not even bother.
Great Review Format (Instant Classic)
The Reviewcast and its companion podcast Bullshot! are my two favorite video game podcasts. The Reviewcast is the primary way that fourplayercoop.com reviews games. I really enjoy reviews in an audio format like this because of how organic the disscusions become. These guys are very funny, relatable and show an enormous passion for video games. I could easily see myself hanging out with these guys and just talking about video games for hours. They touch on all the things you want to know about with the games and have a fun time doing it. At the end of the show they don't grade the games with a letter grade or score like most reviews of video games, they tell you what you really want to know. They answer the question, "Do I want to play this game?" or "Should I play this game?" They tell you to either Don't Bother, Try It, Buy It, or if it attains the lofty Instant Classic recommendation. When you get down to it numbers and letters are so subjective that they don't mean much at all, but a recommendation like this is exactly like what I would expect to hear from a friend. This way I can hear it from at least two other people too. Also along with this is they each individually give their recommendation rather than having to come to a consensus. It allows you to be able to identify with a particular reviewer if you want, although it is rare for there to be a large difference of opinion. In the vein of their system I give this podcast an Instant Classic and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys video games.
