Recorded fresh this week!
So after a 2 month drought of new episodes due to crunch mode and E3, we are back with a show that was recorded this week. Woot!
This show is John and Chris discussing what we’ve been up to (John shipped Crackdown 2, a Title Update, and a demo with achievements!) and Chris has been working on Rare’s Kinect Sports, both for its unveiling at E3 and now on the road to Kinect launch on November 4, 2010.
We then discuss some of the new games that we’ve been playing like Crackdown 2, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Alan Wake, and more. Chris also keeps his Michael Bay bashing to a minimum this time while discussing Transformers games of the past before we move into talking about Summer of Arcade, Destination Arcade, and answer a few new Twitter and listener questions.
Bex and Porkfry were out of action for this episode (hugz from both), but we are hoping to be back in full force in 2 weeks.
Now Transform and Roll Out!

Show 38: Telling the future for fun and profit.
This time Chris and Porkfry give you a “Lightning Bonus Round” type show as they guide the ship solo…well…whatever solo is with two hosts opposed to the regular four hosts. John couldn’t make it as he’s occupied with all things Crackdown and Bex was off at one of her fancy parties. We go over what we’re playing, predictions about E3 and a heads up about things that are available for you via XBL.
Score us to see if our E3 predictions were right. Kind of weird huh.
ENJOY!
Think of this as a back episode. We have a new episode we just recorded that will be up by the end of the week.

In this episode we take you on a wonderful journey through space and time! It’s really difficult for me to explain how it all works but what I can tell you is that, time travel was involved. Here at Platform Biased we have a firm grasp on Continuity. It’s very important to us and not something to be trifled with. So, we devoted an entire show to proving our mastery over Continuity. Give the episode a listen and you’ll see. Just remember…where we’re going we don’t need roads….
XOXO From the Future (or past) Porkfry
P.s. John, Bex, and Chris all say hi also from the future (or past)

This is a back issue episode. You’ll feel extra smart knowing the answers to all of our questions, and knowing whether the games we talk about are actually any good. We did save you some time by removing any discussion of the Olympics from the final show. =)
Thanks for the patience while we catch up.

Dear Humans of the Planet Earth,
Sorry for the technical delays in posting shows and adding podcast value as of late. We are all crunching for E3 and John is chained and shackled to his desk until Crackdown 2 ships. We’ve also had a little problem with one of our shows going and getting all “corrupted” after we spent a few hours editing it….stupid show! Note that we’ve got 2.5 shows recorded and “in the can” that we’ll work on editing and posting as time permits and we’ll be back to our regular bimonthly (or fortnightly for our friends in Europe!) podcasts soon. Thanks for hanging on a little while, while we juggle our work and get caught up on the backlog! Don’t worry…we aren’t dead or going anywhere…
Sincerely,
The games lovin’, MGS Test Crew of Platform Biased
Drink the elixir! Just John & Chris on the show this week, and they spend an inordinate amount of time talking about Final Fantasy Elixir, a not-so-delicious Lychee-flavored beverage.

We welcome Bex to the show! Bex is an SDET in the GTO, and an expert at music games — most recently having worked on the Lips franchise. Everybody say hi to Bex, and leave comments / questions which we’ll answer in a future show.

Hey there! While you’re waiting on our next show we thought you might like to hear us on some other podcasts.
Jessica & Matt from the Zune Insider podcast had Chris & Greg on to talk about Platform Biased.
David Ellis from 4 Guys 1Up had John (& others) on the February 12th show to talk about Crackdown 2.
Hope you enjoy, we’ll be back on Thursday with the latest episode of Platform Biased.
