Game Centric Radio

Northwest Indiana's Second Annual ComiCon takes place on Saturday, Feb. 21. Check out GCR's review of this event on Tuesday, Feb. 24, where we'll discuss the good, the bad, and the bizarre of this awesome, local Con. Additionally, Scott will have one of his patent-pending Impromptu Game Reviews of DnD Next!

With Valentine's Day coming up, GCR wants to discuss one of your true loves -- gaming. Of course, it's unlikely you're buying your long-term love (the Dreamcast) roses or your new sweetheart (the PS4) a box of chocolates. However, if your significant other is a gamer, you might be settling in for a raid in World of Warcraft or a few rounds of Halo after a romantic dinner with your Valentine. 

Tune in this week as we discuss gamer romance. Last year, we courted the ideas of meeting significant others in games, introducing partners to the gaming world, and the "wet blanket" effect of dragging an unwilling participant into a game. This year, we'll revisit and add to some of these topics, as well as continuing to discuss relationships created within games (in character) and the impact of those relationships outside of the game.

Sad to say, but not all of our precious gaming is sunshine and rainbows. We all have this ideal of how things ought to be done. How things ought to be released. Sometimes, however, the process (and, therefore, product) doesn't live up to our expectations. 

This week, the GCR Crew will bring to the light the shady business practices of the gaming community. Whether its false advertising, premature DLC, massive lay-offs for purposes of "re-imagining a concept," or anything in between, you can be sure that the Crew will be putting it under a microscope (or, at least, a magnifying glass). So, tune in and don't miss out!

Most of us have been playing the Resident Evil series and House of the Dead for more than a decade, but how much do we actually know about the movies and mythos that gave birth to the genre of zombie games. How have zombies evolved in film, and how does that impact the type(s) of zombies (and "infected," which are not zombies) we see in video games (as well as table-top and board/card games)? Jade (with guest-host Donnie) will discuss these questions and so much more on the first episode of Final Friday Films.

Happy New Year! This week, the GCR crew will take a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2015 games. The group will also discuss further upcoming projects and ways for YOU to get involved.
