I just wrapped up a game review over Shadowrun (the only cross-platform FPS for the 360 and Vista) and you don’t want to miss this one! It is by far one of the most honest and indepth review you will hear about this title. I wanted to make everyone aware that ver 47 will be out Tuesday and if your interested in this title, for Vista or the 360, this review shouldn’t be missed.

There has been so many mixed feelings about this game; the price, the levels, and the lack of single playability. Out of all the reviews we do every week on XBL Radio I don’t think we have ever had such mixed feeling on a title. So tune in Tuesday and listen to Rusty, Gui J, and myself as TheOtherGuy cross-platforms the XBL Radio staff.

And don’t miss your chance to tell us how you feel: log into our forums and register to be a part of the conversation on Live on Live.

V.S.

Recently a new Podcast has arrived, from the Playstation camp, to get listeners interested in the PS3. There has been a lot of speculation that they are trying to do the “Major Nelson” thing for Sony. If so I have some suggestions for our fledgling audio-prise:

1. Be honest: Like Major Nelson you already have a jump start on audience appeal. You have a huge LOGO backing your cast up. Major has MS and you have SONY. What will set you apart from the MS Cast is honesty. I am not the first person to notice that their is a bias on Nelson’s Podcast. Most know upon subscription that what they will be hearing is positive feedback and interviews about the Xbox platform.

Wanna be different? Be real. If something isn’t right; discuss it! You don’t have to drop “F” bombs about Sony and bash it to show how “Edgy” you are. But honesty would be something corporate podcasts are missing. Podcasts are so worried about losing interviews, MVP Status, or in some cases their Job. However if you are truely honest listeners will continue to subscribe and tell others to.

2. HELP THE COMMUNITY: This is what will set you apart. Many times we have had guests on our show (expecially on LIVE on LIVE) but we even have the “competition”. Podcasts like Gamer Andy, Gamertag Radio, Squad XP, Major Nelson, and Achievement Junkies. Each cast has something to say. We want to let them be heard. It would be refreshing if you did the same. Don’t just make the rounds to make sure you are heard, promote them as well. After all they are not on the payroll and don’t have a huge label to get noticed.

Major Nelson has appeared on a vast amount of indie-podcasts, including ours, but has he ever returned the favor? Do we not have something to say? Would we be too immature and crude to MS? Or would it shine attention on the true Xbox fans?

He did have a former Sony employee on his cast once. But if you remember it was pro-MS. He was let go by Sony. Hmmm thats an “fair discussion” for Sony. So don’t be afraid to promote other sites on your Podcast. It only shows how you really are trying to bring the community together. Not just your Company.

So to my newest parters in the Podcasting World. I emplore you not to copy anyone. Not that you are. Major didn’t invent the gamer podcast: Al Gore did! I think.

Your thoughts in 360 words or less…

As you know I use iTunes to download all of my Podcasts (Even ours). Lately I have noticed our cast lacks what many of the others have: REVIEWS.

So write a review in iTunes, and once we hit 50 reviews, you could steer-clear of forking out your hard earned dough for this 360 periphrial:

Just go to iTunes and tell others why you honestly listen to our podcast and we’ll draw a winner from the reviews. Click here for our cast on iTunes.

Also tell your friends we need at least 50 reviews before a winner will be drawn.

Now I know what your thinking: This is just a shameless ploy to get noticed by iTunes subscribers. My answer is YUP. However if you’re not a listener or a viewer of the site it doesn’t matter. Also since this Xbox 360 Wireless Stearing Wheel cost me full price at release, I want something out of it.

This is your opportunity to help others (listen to a great Podcast) and help yourself (by feeling that you made more potential listeners aware of the show) oh and you got a cool 360 racing wheel as well.
