PS3 Fanboy

Episode 15 features Jem Alexander, Andrew Yoon and our special guest, Hector Martinez. This episode features our discussion with Hector Martinez about The PSP Nation and, among other things, the games we've been playing. Also, this episode was recorded on the brand new Skype feature for PSP. There are also some pretty spot on Super Bowl predictions from the one person on the podcast who's never even seen a single football game. (He was right!)

You thought it would never happen (and, at times, neither did we), but here's another episode of the PlayStation Fancast. Join the writers of PS3 & PSP Fanboy as we get the opportunity to chat with Naughty Dog's Richard Lemarchand. Two Englishmen in one episode? Surely not!

Episode 14 features Jem Alexander, Andrew Yoon, Nick Doerr and our special guest, Richard Lemarchand. This shortened episode mainly features our discussion with Richard about Uncharted and, among other things, its critical reception and the now iconic half-tuck. We'll have more episodes for you soon, promise!

Happy birthday to the PS3! In celebration we at PS3 Fanboy got as many people together as we could to put on an anniversary podcast for the black behemoth. Despite illness (Nick) and technical issues (Colin) we managed to get a fully loaded podcast, including blogger Chris Powell and a special guest straight from our comments section: MrDaBucket. If you would like to be a guest on the show in the future, or would like to ask us some questions for the podcast, email us at JemATJoystiqDOTcom.

Episode 13 features Jem Alexander, Andrew Yoon, Chris Powell and MrDaBucket. We discuss, in depth, what we're currently playing as well as the PS3's first year and what we expect it to achieve in the future. We also answer your emals and chat about the latest firmware as well as, for some reason, cheese.

Episode 12.5? What's that all about then? Well, we don't mean to mess with your sense of temporal awareness, but this episode actually took place between episodes 11 and 12. The whole show is essentially a phonecall between two of our writers - but we hope you still enjoy it. We answer questions (if you've sent questions in since the last podcast, don't be disappointed - this episode was recorded before we received them), discuss news and probe deeper into each other's gaming habits. If you would like your question answered then please send them to JemSPLATJoystiq.com.

Episode 12.5 features Jem Alexander and Nick Doerr. We answer your questions and discuss the "news" (or, rather, what was news at the time of recording). We also go off on various tangents about video games - because we like video games.

Another episode! Within a week of the last one, too. How's that for consistency then? Sure, we promised one in between, but fear not. It's coming. For more information be sure to check out this episode, where we answer a load more of your questions and chat about the games we're playing. We're actually running out of questions to answer, so please send us more to Jem[SPLAT]PS3Fanboy.com.

Episode 12 features Jem Alexander, Colin Torretta, Nick Doerr and Andrew Yoon. We answer your questions and talk, at length, about the games we're playing (there are a lot of them!). Even though it had been a fairly slow news week, we find the time to address the major things that have happened.

Just as the summer game drought ends, so too does the PS Fancast drought. It's been a full month without a podcast and, yes, we know you're upset about it. We are too. But fear not, because we're starting to get back into our regular schedule starting next week, with another one to come this week. Hopefully.

Episode 11 features Jem Alexander, Nick Doerr and Andrew Yoon. We discuss the 40GB PS3, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron and we also answer a few user submitted questions. If you want us to answer your question on future shows then send them to us at Jem[at]PS3Fanboy.com. Check below for the complete program.

We're sorry you've had to wait so long for this, our latest episode of the podcast. We hope it will be worth it. The title is a bit of a double entendre, as this week we have two special guests from Insomniac joining us on the show. The other meaning? Well, due to scheduling difficulties we didn't start recording until midnight and Jem was due to fly to Leipzig early the next morning, so he might sound a bit tired.

We promised we'd keep up with the regular weekly schedule and, as a result of failing this week, we're hoping to bring you another episode before the weekend. Full of Leipzig and PAX anecdotes. Hopefully.

Episode 10 features Jem Alexander, Nick Doerr, Andrew Yoon with special guests James Stevenson and Ryan Schneider from Insomniac Games. We discuss Jem's trip to Sony's 3Rooms in London and get in-depth with Insomniac about all things Ratchet and Clank. Among a couple of other things. Check below for the complete program.

Another episode! Seven full days after the last one, even. We're improving our delays policy from "sometimes" to "almost never." Due to the lack of real news recently, this episode is much shorter than our previous two. Still worth a punt though, innit?

Episode 9 features Jem Alexander, Nick Doerr and Andrew Yoon. We discuss the "Sony buying Rockstar" debacle and PSP Slim pre-orders. Among a couple of other things. Check below for the complete program.

Whoops. We goofed. Two full weeks without a podcast. We're back now, however, and we're not going anywhere. We've got some interesting stuff lined up for the future. This episode we chat about the biggest news to come out of the last two weeks.

Episode 8 features Jem Alexander, Nick Doerr and Andrew Yoon. We discuss the Develop Conference, mouse and keyboard support in Unreal Tournament 3 and several PSP games. Among other things. Check below for the complete program.

Also, Andrew's audio isn't perfect. We didn't notice this until after the recording. We hope you can put up with it this week. We'll get it fixed before next week. Promise.

Phew. This is a long one. Clocking in at just under two and a half hours, this podcast features our comprehensive discussions of all things Sony at E3. We go through the press conference point-by-point, get angry at Sony's weird pricing behaviour and talk about the games that Andrew got some hands on time with at the show itself.

Episode 7 features Jem Alexander, Andrew Yoon, Nick Doerr, Steve Bailey and Colin Torretta. We discuss the PSP redesign, Sony's press conference announcements, pricing structures and upcoming games. Check after the cut for the complete program.

Just in time for E3, our sixth episode of the award winning (disclaimer: awards may be imaginary) podcast is out to shock, scare and maim you. Sorry, we mean entertain you. We've not split this episode up because we found ourselves discussing both the PS3 and PSP in the same breath, in some instances. If this proves to be a big hit, we might keep this format.

Episode 6 features Jem Alexander, Nick Doerr and Steve Bailey. We discuss the PS3's newest releases, our E3 thoughts and expectations and Japanese hardware sales. Among other things. Check below for the complete program.

A little later than normal, but here it is. Episode 5 of the PlayStation Fancast. This week we are focusing on the PSP after the lackluster amount of talk time it got last week. To drive home the point even further, we've started with the PSP section instead of the PS3 section. We love the PSP. And the PS3. Equally. Sometimes.

Episode 5 features Andrew Yoon, Jem Alexander and special guest from Joystiq, Ludwig Kietzmann. We discuss the newly discovered Lumines hack, the Manhunt 2 ban and our E3 predictions, among other things. Check below for the complete program.

Fancast episode 4 is now working its way straight down the internet tubes to your ears. This week we talk about so much stuff, it hurts. From the PlayStation.Blog to the rumbling SIXAXIS to the Korean PS3 launch and even some PSP stuff. A bit.

Episode 4 features Andrew Yoon, Jem Alexander, Steven Bailey and Colin Torretta from the PS Fanboys. We get a new competitor in the form of PlayStation.Blog. What do we think? Also, find out more about the rumbling SIXAXIS controller, the European PS Store, and the Korean PS3 launch. We also talk Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Grand Theft Auto IV, LA Noire, and (according to Andrew) the future best game ever: Time Crisis 4.

Another Monday, another Fancast. We're bringing you this episode seven hours than usual in order to give you information on the newly announced shooter, The Agency. We were thrilled when we saw it last month, and now the embargo is up -- and we're allowed to talk about the game extensively.

Episode 3 features Andrew Yoon, Jem Alexander, and Nick Doerr from the PS Fanboys. Our special guest for this week's episode is Joystiq's Kevin Kelly. Find out about why The Agency might be the online shooter that PS3 fans have been waiting for. Then, is Final Fantasy really that important to the PS3? Listen to our debate. Finally, is the redesigned PSP Slim a reality? We discuss the possibilities.

Note: Due to recording complications, Jem's audio is a second or so early during the first half an hour of this episode. This issue has already been addressed, and will be fixed in next week's fancast.
