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.

#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.)

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

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 talk about plenty of stuff other than Splosion Man this week, but John goes on and on about it, so it’s the SPLOSION CAST! CAAAAKE!
On the Show:
Seattle Heat Wave!
Chris’ crazy collecting
‘Splosion Man
Gears of War 2 – All Fronts DLC
Mailbag!
“Are there too many multiplayer games?”
“Should developers push to get multiplayer into games that are primarily single player?”
“Is a one console future possible with fanboys, competition, and the Big 3?”
“Can the industry survive with so many AAA titles? Is there enough money for them all?”
A pattern of Holiday delays. We talk about stuff we’re still eager for, John mentions Dark Void, which was then delayed days later..
