087 - 03/18/07 Bobby Blackwolf Show - NeuroSky, WoW Meets Mathematica

[Blackwolf]

I'm going to start making a thread for new episodes on the forum so people can comment on them, since I know that Sundays are a tough time to be around. I'll read good comments on the air the following week.

Here's the show notes for Episode 87 from March 18th, 2007:


This week we have interviews with Frozen North Productions (http://www.frozennorth.net/) about a new MMO that is described as "World of Warcraft Meets Mathematica."
We also have an interview with NeuroSky (http://www.neurosky.com/)to discuss using brainwaves as a gameplay mechanic.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out on the Xbox Live Arcade - who liked it, who didn’t?
We take a quick look at MotorStorm and who Sony decided was more important in terms of multiplayer.
We spoil some release dates from our buddies at Orange Lounge Radio (http://www.orangeloungeradio.com/) - Halo 3 (http://allgamesradio.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=502933%3ABlogPost%3A10256) (which can cost an arm and a leg (http://kotaku.com/gaming/halo-3/halo-3-prices-confirmed-higher-244842.php)) and Beautiful Katamari (http://orangeloungeradio.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=717)!
God of War 3 has been announced as being on the PS3 and including vibration support (http://consoles.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/11648/God_of_War_3_Confirmed_With_Vibration.html).
Also, the upcoming 1.60 Firmware update for the PS3 adds a few features that gamers wanted, but not exactly.
No callers this week, but we read an email about GDC and discuss the public getting into E3 and CES via the chat room.

There are a lot of good concepts in this one. I'd like to see where the Neurosky stuff and the math MMO actually go. It seems like they're both blazing new trails, although Neurosky's may be more important and influential.

Also, I understand why E3 couldn't keep on going the way it did (too little payoff), but why can't we still have a show much like the way Japan conducts their Tokyo Game Show? They find a way to continue on every year and be every gamer's dream. Forget this E for all "EB Games with a cover" garbage. Provide a place for me to try out games that we won't see for a while or may not see at all. If you make it, we will come.
