Vault Play: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney ArtNearly five years have passed since we took on the role of Phoenix Wright, the up-and-coming defense attorney that shook the legal world back in 2005 on the Nintendo DS (2001 on the Game Boy Advance in Japan). Only a few months back we were graced with the announcement of a brand new Ace Attorney game from Capcom. Though Phoenix held his own in the fighting ring a la Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, getting back in the courtroom is where he’s most comfortable; cross-examining witnesses, finding contradictions, and spouting out catchphrase after catchphrase.

The Recurring Bosscast: 015: Jason and Jett Do Vegas

If only our adventures in Las Vegas were done up in a “Beavis and Butt-Head: Do America” feature film…

Alas we’re left with the otherwise excellent episode 15 of the Recurring Bosscast! Call it luck, fate, or sheer circumstance, but Jett and I happened to meet one another in America’s playground, Las Vegas! Mat unfortunately was left alone and cold as he was not in Vegas, and his girlfriend was in Iceland (which is much greener than Greenland, which is much cooler than Iceland. Go figure!)

This week’s topic was a damn good one: disappointing video game sequels! Mat and I have a scuffle over Final Fantasy VIII, I proclaim Mortal Kombat II as the pinnacle of the series, and there is very little love for Sonic the Hedgehog.

The Recurring Bosscast: 013: A Disgrace To Anyone That Has Ever Played A Video Game

Welcome to California!

This week the Bosscast goes into the memory bank and pulls out our fondest moments with LucasArts as the company is no more. This largely means we rant about Star Wars games, point-and-click adventures, and nothing in particular past 2005.

Also this week, amazingly Jett and I both played and hated with a passion the Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons abomination on Xbox Live.

The Recurring Bosscast: 011 – BioVania

Episode 011 LogoThis week’s Bosscast topic is Bioshock and all things related.

Somehow the topic of Bioshock got Jett, Mat, and myself discussing video game movies, remembering anything worthwhile about Bioshock 2, and the awesome that will never happen in the Castlevania-Bioshock crossover. We can only hope.

Also this week Mat and I diverge on our mutual dislike of Castlevania: Mirror of Fate, and Jett explains why Darkstalkers Resurrection is a competent 2D fighting collection.

The Recurring Bosscast: 010 – Doing Crossword Puzzles

Episode 010 LogoDamn, 10 episodes already! I honestly can’t believe it’s been that many.

Anyway the Bosscast topic of the week is all things SimCity! Mat, Jett, and I dive deep into the back catalog of Sim games, retelling our stories of developing towns, destroying them by Godzilla, and listening to some epic chiptunes.

Also this week Jett and I were lame but Mat played some excellent new titles, including Crysis 3 and Saints Row: The Third.

I have recently been given the fantastic opportunity to work for Splitkick as one of their podcast co-hosts. I was asked by the staff as well to contribute my choices for 2012’s Game of the Year. This year was actually the first time I selected my Game of the Year, and it was actually a pretty tough choice!
