BASH

This week, we are very fortunate to have on the guys from MODSonair: Foyleman, Stryder, Welshy and Jynx!

On today’s cast we find out about the boys behind one of the best gaming casts there is.

In addition to celebrating the four years that MODSonline has been on the internet, we bring up the topic of the media’s role in gaming.

How does the commercial gaming media shape the debate on games?

What is the difference between a game “review” and “critique”. Why can’t we find the latter in the gaming media? Is the lack of critique killing game originality?

Are commercial gaming sites in bed with game producers?

Are the gaming media’s standards and practices ethical? Do they purchase the news they report?

What media sites do you listen to? Can they be trusted?

Do community sites act as watchdogs against biased reporting or do we simply contribute to the hype?

These are just some of the topics we discuss on today’s show. Have a listen!
