The Video Games Show

Summary: The Video Games Show (or VGS for short) is a weekly gaming industry news podcast hosted by Rich Bergin, Nick Kraftor and Greg the Engineer. While there are plenty of podcasts out there that deal with games themselves we take a closer look at the companies and people behind those games and what they are doing. News isn't the only thing we do though, we bring you reviews of the latest games, interviews with industry hot-shots and take special care to interact with our audience via email and our website. Rich and Kraft have over 50 years of gaming experience between them and VGS itself is over 8 years old! Tune in every Thursday when new episodes hit the net.

Alright, I feel bad for our 321 joke episode.  Apparently some people didn't find it nearly as funny as we did.  As a consilatory gesture we've decided to give everyone a taste of what the Android App owners get as bonus content.  Not a ton of video game related material, but we hope you enjoy it none the less.

 VGS Show 321 (5.9.11) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:43

As it is finals week we were not planning on doing a show.  Of course we couldn't leave every totally hanging, so here is an abridge episode of VGS delivering all of the big news!  Just an FYI, it is a good week to own our android app :)

 VGS Show 320 (5.2.11) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:25:06

With all of the crazy news going on lately (royal weddings, dead terrorists, tornadoes and more) it was easy to miss news about the catastrophic soap opera that was the Playstation Network Saga.  Rich and Kraft take you through a 2 week timeline giving a blow-by-blow of what actually happened.  After an hour-long breakdown of events (trust me, it isn't boring) we get to non-Sony news.  Also, as an added treat we finally get an audio response from the one, the only, The Messiah of Pants!
