Podcast #2: New Game Narrative

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3317708/TheCrudeGabber2NewGameNarrative.mp3

We’re back with another podcast for you, recorded much clearer and cleaner than last time near a lake, in a pub and during a BBQ.

We talk in depth about the current surge of indie games including Hide, Trauma, The Stanley Parable and Bastion. We conclude our thoughts on the Witcher 2, we analyse a 500 hour obsession with TES: Oblivion and finally we explore a potential ‘dumbing down’ in mainstream game design using the stealth genre as a starting point.

Hope you enjoy.
