Welcome to the new episode of the boardgame edition of the G*M*S Magazine Podcast.
In this episode we have an interview with David Sirlin, from Sirlin Games fame; creators of Yomi, Puzzle Strike and Flash Duel. Arguably the best fighting games out there, though you’ll have to play them to find out if they’re as good as I think they are (and I think they’re very good!).
Sometimes life conspires against you and the things you normally do, you can’t do them normally because life has got in the way. However that doesn’t mean that what you do in a different way is any worse. In fact, it can be just as good!
This is a special episode. It’s special because, for the first time ever, we have a guest for the second time. This has happened in the RPG podcast, but not in the boardgame one.
But first things first. Mark, Lorien and myself give you some quick reviews of some games, Start Trek, Cave Evil and others get a mention after we’ve been playing them, and if you needed to know if you want these games or not, you might be interested in what we have to say.
This time I am joined by Lorien Green to host the podcast, since Mark was away and unable to come to this episode.
We did have a great time, though! Chatted about wargaming and Salute 2012, the wargames exhibition in London Excel that has taken place for the last 40 years.
In this, bit later than usual, episode we have got a good for you.
Mark and I go head to head to discuss if Games Workshop is a good business or not. I don’t think they are a good business because they don’t do enough from a business point of view, and for their licensed products in general (not to mention their lack of contact with the general public). I don’t think they are bad, but they are not good either. Mark says they are because they make money and thus they do what they’re supposed to. But what do you think?
