ToG #31 - There’s a Chill in the Air

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:53:14 +0000

Well WWDC started this week and as expected Apple announced a new iPhone! This new model contains a much faster processor and better graphics chip that when combined with the 3.0 update should make for some amazing games! As can be expected, Rob and I are quite excites about the new titles that are sure to come.

In this episode we talk about an amazing batch of iPhone games. I talk about my time with The Sims 3, circuit_strike.one, Zenonia, Kaloki Adventure and Star Defense. That’s just in the notable release section seeing as we then do full reviews of Toki Tori, Defender Chronicles, Knights Onrush and Billionaire! It’s a gameapalooza on the Touch of Gaming podcast, and we hope you love it.

It’s an action packed episode, and we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode we review and talk at length on three titles: Alpine Racer, iMob, and Qublitz. I also make mention of iPlayPhone, a great time waster for you out there with kids.

ToG #16 - Who Are You?

admin — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:10:49 +0000

We went a little long in this episode of the ToG, we hope you’ll forgive us! In this episode we have not one but two contests that could net you some free App Store games! That makes up for the long episode a little bit doesn’t it?

In this episode ~~Bret~~Rob joins me, even after I screw up his name! Here’s a pro-tip for you budding podcasters out there, do not read while talking We talk about some of the latest and greatest games that have come out, talk price drops, hit the news and even answer 3 emails sent in from you the listeners! Games reviews in this episode are The Creeps! and I Love Katamari. Of course, we also tell you about the two exciting contests we are running, details of those follow:

Contest 1 - Win yourself a copy of BurnBall!

To enter this contest simply email touchofgaming @ gmail.com with the subject line of BurnBall. In the body of your email tell us why you think the Evil Dr. Grey should be stopped. A winner will be selected at random on Tuesday January 20th, and will be contacted and announced in the next episode of the ToG! Promo codes are only usable in the US App Store, so you need to either be a US citizen or have a US iTunes account. Sorry all, it’s Apple’s limitation not ours!

Contest 2 - Win one of 16 copies of Mobile 1Up’s GW games

This is the big daddy, and you will ALL want to get in on this! mobile1Up has been generous enough to give us 4 copies of each of their games on the App Store, GW Fire, GW Octopus, GW Parachute and GW Chef.

There are two ways to enter this contest and all winners will be selected at random on Tuesday January 20th, and will be contacted and announced in the next episode of the ToG!

1. Comment on THIS post here on TouchofGaming.com! - We will award one lucky commenter with the Grand Prize consisting of one of each of the four Mobile 1UP titles. Secondly we will award four other lucky commenters with one promo code.

2. Follow the new Touch of Gaming Twitter account - http://twitter.com/TofG. We will select eight followers at random and award each of them with one promo code for one of the Mobile 1UP titles.

Again, all winners will be selected at random on Tuesday January 20th, and will be contacted and announced in the next episode of the ToG! Promo codes are only usable in the US App Store, so you need to either be a US citizen or have a US iTunes account. Sorry all, it’s Apple’s limitation not ours!

We hope you enjoy the contests, and even if you don’t win please support both Mobile 1UP and IMS Ltd on the Apple App Store!

ToG #14 - A Festivus Miracle!

admin — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:58:37 +0000

We are taking a break from the podcast until the new year but before we got together to do another Review-A-Rama episode of the podcast. In this episode Rob and Christian join me to talk about a dozen games that we’ve been playing!

Since we recorded this episode tonight, and it’s Christmas-Eve-Eve and all, there is a bit of a technical glitch. Unfortunately a low level hiss crept into the recording, and I do not have the time to go back and filter it out I hope that it isn’t too bad for you guys and that you’ll enjoy it despite the hiss.

From all of us at the Touch of Gaming podcast and Nukoda.com, we wish all the best to you and yours in 2009!

admin — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 22:08:34 +0000

Eeep! It helps to update the episode description when I post something new. Ugh. Sorry to all who I completely confused!

I’m joined by Rob in this episode and we chat at length about some of the big new releases, talk about how more and more games from big dev houses are coming out at $5 instead of the old standard of $10, and wrap up the episode with reviews of Vector Blaster and Imangi! Also, please excuse my audio quality in this episode, I’m fighting a nasty cold, and was quite surprised that I made it through this episode. Thanks for all the kind feedback, we love to hear it.

ToG #4 - Let’s Rock

admin — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:13:54 +0000

It’s that time once again, Touch of Gaming Episode #4 is upon us. Breat and I got together to chat iPhone and we think that we put together a pretty good show for you.

In this episode we chat about some new games that just hit the streets, briefly cover Apple’s Lets Rock event where they announced the new iPod Touch and firmware 2.1, a multi-touch skateboarding game, and wrap it up with some reviews of Cro-Mag Rally, Puzzle Loop, and 21 Pro.
