Xbox 360 PS3 Wii DS

Gamersyde Diaries: Second! This month the menu is rather varied and each of the major platforms gets some coverage, Motorstorm and Resistance for the PS3, a big focus on Red Steel for the Wii, Call of Duty 3 and Gears of War for the 360, and the icing on the cake we'll put the spotlight on Nervous Brickdown, a lovely DS game developed by a small studio in Paris and that we really wanted to show to the world. Also worth mentioning, the video is now available in WMV format, using the classic WMV9 codec so it should work nicely with Flip4Mac, and a 720p version is on its way. As always we are looking forward to your comments!
Update: 720p WMV version added ! Only available on Bittorent.


A few side notes: We mention that Motorstorm is a launch title. It's of course a "launch window" title, with the japanese version being available in a few weeks in Japan already.

Also important, you'll notice that the framerate in the Gears of War part doesn't look too good. This isn't because of the game, but because on the fps conversion from 30 to 25. As soon as we have some money, we'll buy a NTSC HD camera and this won't be a problem anymore. Let me state this again, Gears of War is a totally smooth game ;)

The 'faults' labeled on Gears are more of direct opinions than general problems with the game. For instance it was said that a fault of the game was the grenades, and that they sucked. They were only useful for turrets or guys behind corners. That's not really true, just don't hold the aim and throw it quickly and it works just like any other game, the only difference is that there is the nice aiming arc so you can't really miss if you actually try.. unlike other games where it's almost impossible to judge power etc.

Eh, just came off as you guys were saying that was the games fault you didn't like something, when it's more of your opinion. Now I probably sound like an ass...

I love you guys, keep up the good work you frenchies! :)

Is that Nervious Breakout game coming to the states. I really liked it from the video. I never knew those types of games exsisted.
We couldn't provide any info about the release of the game, or even the publisher, because they're dealing it right now, and it could have been a problem to unveil it before everything is signed and done for good. But I can assure you the game is gonna come in the US (they'll work with a big publisher, so don't worry).

Great show, well done, congrats.

I love the choice of Music and Editing.
The subtitles are ok, I especially like how you guys talk about your oppinions of each game, their good and bad points.

Keep doing it, great show to watch.

Oh and can I suggest that if this becomes a regular show that it be available via iTunes or Video Podcast?

Traduction mistake at 33:04, you confused "ways" with "manners". An usual "false friend" for us who speak a language derivated from latin. ;D

My partner is French, I am English, let me tell you fellow Yder's, french men are the sexiest men alive, I wouldn't swap my lil froggie Philippe Giraud for the world, he is the most amazing lover, cook, partner and gaming buddy. French men are sensitive, sexy and so laid back.

Viva Le France!

Hey DirtPipe,

You are hardly one to judge my yde tag. LOL

Look at your own hehehehe, DirtPipeMilkShake, wonder what one of those could be?

*SNIGGERS*

Actually I was gonna call myself the JoystickFairy but thought the innuendo was a little bit too much but to be honest there's nothing like a big old joystick throbbing in your sweaty palm. :D

I'm sure you know what I mean PoopShuteManMayo!
