#031 is a special episode for us, as it consists entirely of an interview with Greg B. Jones, Director of the Games Test Organization at Microsoft Game Studios. Chris & John speak with Greg about his vision for the GTO, where he thinks the future of games testing lies, and some games too.

We’ll be back very soon with a standard show–in the meantime thanks to Greg for his time, insight, and strong support of this show.

Hey! It’s Platform Biased episode #030! We’re brand new, more frequent, and possibly even weirder.

And now, a word from our new member.

How often do you sit around with your friends and discuss what’s going on in the games industry? What games are you excited about? Why are you excited about them? Once you start talking about those games and you’ve devoured all the information on the web you can find on the specific topic what do you want to do then? Find more information, right?! That’s what we’re going to strive to provide you here at Platform Biased. The name says it all, we are going to be 360-centric. We like the 360 quite a bit, so much so that we happen to work on games for said system! On the flip side to that we’re all gamers, as you can see from the gamer scores…some more than others, but the big E on the eye chart is that we love talking about games, and the industry and all that stuff! So that’s just what we’re going to do.

We’re going to work SUPER hard (baring our current projects taking over a majority of our time) on giving you a look inside the industry from the 360 perspective. That’s going to cover thing like interviews with people we work with here to let you know what kind of stuff they do along with interviews with people who are working on other 360 titles. We’ll work on getting you some inside info…you know…like the stuff that only we know (disclaimer: that wont’ get us fired). All you have to do is Click on the “Listen” down there or subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes and we will selflessly provide you with things to listen to.

Please leave feedback and ask questions and we’ll see what we can do about answering them!

We’re still working out the kinks and we’re planning on having some other changes but I can’t let all of the cats out of the collective bags so just sit tight. For now, here is the “SUPER AWESOME RELAUNCH” Episode of Platform Biased! Jam packed with things that we talk about! IN 3D!

(Note: Podcast is not actually in 3D.)

The last of the older episodes (we have one more “other” episode though before we relaunch).

We welcome Dan Tunnell from Turn 10 to talk about his work on Forza Motorsport 3. Dan gives some great insight into the development of a world-class racing game.

Happy Holidays everyone.

A few notes on the shows/site over the holiday break:

We have a show that will go up today or tomorrow, and more that should continue over the holidays. We’re set baby!

We’re just putting together our re-launch show, and I have to say, it’s really awesome. John + Greg + Chris = silly.

Finally, we’ve updated the blogging software that runs the site to a new version, please leave a comment if you’re seeing anything wonky.

Thanks,
John

Throwback episode #2, the 3D Wonder Machine! The title of the show is a callback to a particularly ridiculous statement John made at the end of the show. We’re both in sort of a weird mood on this show, so expect us to get off the rails once or twice

On the Show:

Silent Hill Homecoming (wrapup)

Batman Demo (preview)

Shadow Complex

Discussion about 2D Game Nostalgia

Reader Questions:

What do we think of James Cameron’s Avatar (The Movie)?

Is Shadow Complex the best XBLA game yet?

We’ve taken down Episode 27 for a few minutes to try and flush iTunes because what it has is busted. Bear with us, show will be back shortly.

We have top men working on it. Top men.

Update: I think we have it resolved. Just waiting on iTunes to pick the show back up. Thanks for bearing with us.
