Game Club: The Great Gatsby

Kenny Mahoney — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 02:26:59 +0000

Those crazy kids are at it again in another episode of the Game Club Podcast! This week, the gang finds out what happens when you combie classic high-school literature with 8-bit awesomeness in The Great Gatsby Game (Or, as it was known in Japan, DOKI DOKI TOSHOKAN – GATSBY NO MONOGATARI).

The Great Gatsby plays like a homogeneous mixture of every action-platformer ever released for the NES, and reads better than any piece of classic American literature ever could. Join us on a wondrous adventure in which our hosts relive their literary and gaming histories by downloading/listening to the show below.

The Stony Brook Press — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:04:55 +0000

Already stuffed from your lavish Thanksgiving meal? Well, The Press has cooked up an all-you-can-eat Adult Swim buffet! Instead of focusing on one game this week, the gang has decided to tackle a boatload of games from Adult Swim – the only channel you watch after 11:00PM that isn’t porn.

Of course, it’s recommended you head over to their site and check out their awesome list of games before listening. The games we talk about, in order, are:

Game Club: Time Fcuk

The Stony Brook Press — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 21:07:29 +0000

Greetings internet dwellers, for your listening pleasure we have Episode 2 in the Stony Brook Press Game Club podcast series!

This week, the gang has gotten their brows (and other places) severely beaten by Time Fcuk, a puzzle/platformer that is as disturbing as it is difficult.

Of course, you’ll probably want to play the game for yourself over at Newgrounds, and if you like what you played then perhaps you’ll want to pick up Super Meat Boy on XBLA.

Check back later this week to find out what game we’ll be playing for our next show. Enjoy!
