Away Team Podcast: Split/Second Developer Interview
Today we got a chance to take part in a Split/Second developer interview with Game Director Nick Baynes from Black Rock Studio. For those who don’t know, Split/Second is a brand new racing game in which players race through a destructible environment taking out their opponents using the explosives around the track. Coming from the creators of the critically acclaimed Pure title, Split/Second offers gamers a Hollywood style and intensity never before seen in a racer. Like always we recorded the call for your listening pleasure and also included a little run down of what Eric and Dave think of the game so far. If you want to learn more about Split/Second you can check out our previous coverage here. For you iTunes users you can download the interview here otherwise, jump down to the bottom of the post to stream or download. Enjoy!

Our latest Kill Kast is hosted by Stephanie (Tigresa) as she is joined by Eric (The Herp), Dave (Dave) and for the very first time Rebecca (Cuatro Chihuahuas), who has only been here pretty much since the inception of Spawn Kill...!

Listen in and let us know how you feel in the comments! Thanks for listening.

The Away Team: Backbreaker Interview
We recently got a chance to sit in on a group conference call to discuss the upcoming football title Backbreaker. During the call producer Rob Donald talked a little about how a UK developer went about creating a game based on an American sport and what going up against a franchise like Madden entails. For those who don’t know what Backbreaker is, it’s a football game from the creators of the Euphoria engine. This engine created by NaturalMotion attempts to simulate true-to-life AI and their reactions with their environment. This engine was put to use in games like GTA4, Star Wars The Force Unleashed and the upcoming Red Dead Redemption game. In terms of a football game the Euphoria engine, it will present gamers with the most realistic tackles and contact never before seen in any sports game. (more...)

In Episode 02 of The Away Team, Eric (The Herp) and Gabe (Lethalwraith) talk about what we’ve been playing which includes Bad Company 2 and Tiger Woods Online. We will also be previewing MLB 2K10 and the first round of the closed beta for FIFA Online.

Kill Kast 07: The Ethics of Reviews
In episode 7 of the Kill Kast, Stephanie (Tigresa), The Herp (Eric), and Dave (Snarksaur) as always talk a bit about what we've been playing, before we get into this episode's main topic: The Ethics of Reviews. We discuss what type of things in reviews are, obviously, ethical in each of our opinions, i.e. how long you should play a game before reviewing it, who is qualified to review what game, the most worthwhile/helpful type of reviews, etc. But, no matter how much we banter like hot 20-something grumpy grandmas about what is the "right" way of doing things, as Dave says in the end, the essence is somewhat moot, because it's still all subjective.For this podcast we could really use your opinions on the topics we discuss regarding reviews! We'd love to hear it to make our reviews the best they can be for our readers and listeners at Spawn Kill. We take a lot of pride in our reviews, and it'd be awesome to know what you all think, if you like "Second Opinion" type reviews, and more. I hope you enjoy this week's episode of the Kill Kast here at Spawn Kill.

Kill Kast 06: Collector’s Editions
We're serving up Episode 06, the Kill Kast Collector's Edition. And you didn't even have to pre-order! This week you'll be joining Tigresa (Stephanie) alongside a gaggle of tavern he-wenches K-Tuck (Kevin), Snarkasaur (Dave), and The Herp (aka Eric aka Sports). We dish a little on what we've been playing (recorded Thursday, 1/28) and our varied opinion on what's really "collectable" in Collector's Editions of several upcoming and past games, and what's just there to trick you into doling out an addition $10-$40 for unrecycled plastic.
