Yes, yes,  I know that we’ve been having many, many hiatuses (?) as of late, but the odds of a podcast coming out in the next…month? Is unlikely.

Oh, believe us when we say that we’d love to record more, but, as the old saying goes, “Politics AS > NIGaming. You idiot”.
Also, Tristan/Daniel, There’s way too much spam being left on both the forums and in comments on the main site.

Get it fixed!

In case you haven’t heard, remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver were announced earlier today, under the names HeartGold and SoulSilver.

As you probably know, there have been rumours of remakes floating around for ages, and speculation reached a new peak when the Pokémon Sunday TV show said a major announcement would be made this weekend. Nintendo seems to have jumped the gun to surprise us.

Gold/Silver was arguably the biggest step forward for the series, with the introduction of fruit trees, breeding, an in-game clock, weekly events and the ability to return to the setting of the original game after you’d finished with Johto, giving the game huge longevity. Plus, it was the first full-colour game, and introduced a whole two new types, helping to balance the vastly overpowered psychic type from the original.

Here.

Honestly, I’m impressed at how quickly they stole that idea. And I won’t bother pointing out that he talks about the increasing maturity and diversity of the games industry before ripping off last Christmas’s big hit. All in all, this guy has class.

Incidentally, EA has nicked that idea for it’s upcoming sequel to last year’s Boom Blox too. You can see the creativity just bleeding out of the industry.

Apologising for the delay

May be back for easter!

Thanks for listening!

Hey, I know I haven’t done anything for practically a month.

This is really because schoolwork has really caught up with me; including outside things as well.

Sadly the podcast will not be up again until Summer. however the site will remain, including the forums; and you can still subscribe to iTunes, so when we do start again, you will receive it straight away!

As to the contributors, many of them are freelancers, so they made add topics from time to time.

IF you have a good idea for the podcast or want to get involved, get in contact!!!

But until the summer (when we will come back stronger)

Thanks for listening to NIGaming

EDIT:  We are back on a fortnightly basis (although since my computer is F****** this may change plus or minus a few days!)   Stay with us!

Or, Why I Hate Hideo Kojima’s Game of the Year.

By Sparky

Personally, I just think that shows the extent of the irrational hype which surrounded this game for so long before its release. Even when gameplay footage showed the world that the whole game revolved around a ridiculously shoddy physics engine, everyone still seemed to be convinced that it was guaranteed to be brilliant.
