You don't have to deal with my awkward pauses anymore, as Adam Sessler has returned to Feedback, albeit with some disappointing news: he didn't find the intrepid Yeti during his fever dream. Abbie Heppe, Adam, Jake Gaskill and myself tried to soothe our crushed hopes and dreams with discussion about Apple's new iPad and the launch games available for the device and much, much more. 

Feedback -- Just Cause 2 And iPad Gaming Edition »


In this week's episode of Feedback...

  • Apple launched their much talked about tablet-sized version of the iPhone, the iPad. Is it worth the money? Does Geometry Wars work? For help, I brought my iPad into the studio.
  • Rockstar Games is positioning Red Dead Redemption as their new Grand Theft Auto. The whole Feedback crew is behind the game, but not convinced about westerns being huge hits.
  • Hot on the heels of Gears of War 3 rumors, the Gears of War movie is reportedly being scaled back from the mammoth, multi-movie sci-fi epic pitched at Comic-Con last year.
  • The ups and downs of open world games gets debated as we discuss our game of the week, Just Cause 2. I managed to sneak in some props about the game's amazing Lost reference.
  • A user asks everyone to discuss what makes indie games tick.

Feedback, attempting to incorporate inappropriate bonerjam jokes into every episode.

    That seems to be the plaque with open world and sandbox games: After awhile *or even right off the bat* you dont want to progress in the story *and the only time you do is to get more stuff for your character* you just want to dick around all the time. I was like that with every single GTA game, Prototype, Red Faction and a few others the story didnt interest me, the missions were carbon copies, and all i wanted to do was punch in some cheat codes, screw around for 20 - 30 minutes, die and then go play a different game. Like with Red Faction, i dont own the game *probably wont until its $20 or in the bargain bin* but i play the demo on a weekly basis because i love just messing around, and shelling out $60 *or however much it is* isnt worth it to me.

    I'm been noticing that Feedback is posting the MP3 format of their episodes now.

    Are you posting them the same day the video comes out or after the iTunes store updates the episodes?

    I guess I'm not from the Westerns generation,but I do remember playing Red Dead Revolver which is my favorite Westerns game,there was also GUN but that wasn't as fun as Read Dead Revolver even though GUN had free roam.

    Good show guys, good show. Ya know, i started thinkin... what if this was an actual radio show? if somehow it could be broadcast, as it is now, online, and maybe on satellite radio or something, that would be awesome.

    This was a really great Feedback. Seemed like they had a lot more energy after resting from PAX East. Just Cause 2 is so exciting and fun. It's a game that focuses on the fun factor, which is a nice change of pace from all these great more story focused games. Red Dead Redemption looks amazing too. That is my most anticipated game. I love the old western setting in games.

    I actually think Just Cause 2 is amazingly fun. I have so far put 29 hours into it and have enjoyed every second of it. The mechanics feel fine to me. Although I do agree that the voice acting is terrible.
    Honestly, if there is ever a price drop for the game, I highly recommend that everyone at least give it a try!

    This is going to sound kind of weird but this is true. I think its a sign that I have been watching too many feedbacks and talkabouts with patrick in it because I had a vivid dream that I met him in an airport and I got his autograph. Almost seemed like it was real. Anyways AWESOME feedback this week, I enjoyed the Indie game discussion.

    Just a financial thought for Patrick. The ratio of game cost to system for an Xbox is about 5 to 1 (the system is $300 and the games are $60). For your iPad an "expensive" game is about $15 while many are a half to one third of that price. With that being the case the ratio for an iPad system to the games offered is somewhere between 33 or even 99 to 1. Permit me an analogy. If after driving your car for many years you work out that you have spent more on repairs and gas than the car itself you would feel as if you got your money's worth. If when my Xbox days are through I work out that I spent five or six times more on games than the system itself I would feel I got my money's worth. Patrick, the chances of you getting your money's worth out of that iPad are vanishingly slim. But, as you say, a LUXURY purchase.
