Every once in a while when I have don’t have rehearsal, I pop into the DualShockers Shockcast and have a fantastic time. Listen in and let me know what you thought of the topics we discussed. Here is the breakdown:
_____
Have you ever gone back to replay an older game and were surprised by how well its held up? How about when you play one and find that the years haven’t been kind to it? This forms the core of the main topic this week as we discuss what it’s like to revisit games from the past and seeing how well (or not so well) they’ve stood the test of time.
We unexpectedly had a second main topic come up when we discussed the potato salad Kickstarter campaign. Some of us see this as a fun, good natured Kickstarter while others see this as an insult to other projects which are more deserving of being funded.
As usual, we break down the week’s newest releases, news and talk about some of the games we’ve been playing.

yaaaaaaaaay
Regarding the commercial of FFVII you KNOW not everyone was like “omg wow look at this game it looks so cool let me get it” and then was like “this game is awesome!” Yes, VII drew in a lot of new RPG fans, but it also tricked a lot of ppl into buying the game. I have never played Star Craft, but I have always been pulled in by their commercials. Then I realize it’s RTS and I’m like wow… I love RTS but those trailers are very misleading.
Oh totally. I think it taught us to be wary of Video Game trailers, you know?
For me, The Legend of Dragoon trailer matched the awesomeness of that game. Maybe that’s the exception to the rule. ^_^;;
