It’s time once again for us to offer up the latest installment of the File-N-Forget Podcast. This week, Shawn and Ron discuss the large number of sequels that seem to be flooding the market lately, and try to discern if this is a good or bad thing for the industry and the gamer alike.

We also bring back the ‘Guess the Game’ feature, as requested, and we close out with our customary ‘Rant and Rave section, where you can hear about Rock Band peripherals and Sins of a Solar Empire.

A little later than planned but Episode 17 of File-N-Forget is now live.

This week Ron and I discuss the Frontlines:Fuel of War Beta and give our impressions of this game by the developers of the all-time classic Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942. We also bring back the “Guess the Game” contest with a new entry. Strangely I just couldn’t move on from the controversy I covered in this post so you get to hear me rant for a bit, and Ron asks Why do people claim failure as a marketing win? in relation to Microsoft’s proclamation that the Xbox 360 is the least error prone console in the cosmos!

The File-N-Forget podcast returns for 2008 with a media tie in to Gaming Today’s newest regular column – The Analog Gamer. In recognition of the new feature Shawn, Ron and Filefront Editor-in-Chief Jon Soucy get together to discuss the impact of tabletop games like D&D and Vampire on the evolution of Video Games. Grab the podcast here or download it through the now functioning iTunes link.

The “Name the Game” segment from last episode was “Tribes:Vengence”. There is no entry this week as the discussion went a little longer than usual.

The end of the year has arrived and we’re 15 episodes into the podcast. Though Ron and I are taking next week off to prepare for the annual alcohol fueled bacchanal on December 31, we wanted to leave the year with a look at the trends and issues surrounding the games of 2007.

The File-N-Forget podcast will return in the first week of January but until then you can try and figure out which game was featured in this weeks “Name the Game” segment. The game from last weeks segment (for those who are curious) was “Deus Ex: Invisible War”.

In this week’s episode, Shawn and Ron tackle a topic suggested by Gaming Today reader Joelteon7, and discuss the meaning of next-gen and console zealotry. What makes a game or a console next-gen? You can hear what we think, and we encourage you to offer up your opinions on the matter.

We also introduce a new feature titled Name that Game; where we read the retail box of a game from our collection and ask you, the listener, to hazard a guess as to what that game is. As usual, we continue with Rant or Rave and info on Filefront Frag Night for this week. Unfortunately, due to issues with the Linux server for BF2, we’ve put the Frag Night for this week on hiatus. Our ET: QW server remains up, if you’d like to hop in and play a bit.

Moving rapidly into the American Thanksgiving holiday, Ron and I wanted to make sure you had something to listen to on your commute to Grandma’s for a Turkey-induced coma so here is Episode 12 of File-N-Forget.

This week we continue a discussion of games and their evolution focusing on the changes in single player games and the shift toward multiplayer in the industry as a whole. Is it a good thing? Can a single player focused game survive in a culture that is obsessed with multiplayer features, even when it might not match the game itself? Tune in to find out what we think.

This week’s podcast may sound a little different to those of you who are regular listeners. We put Shawn in the hosting seat this week, and decided to take a look at the FPS genre. Shawn wonders if the genre has become stagnant, and Ron really doesn’t think so. You’ll also get to hear Ron’s thoughts on multiplayer in Guitar Hero 3, and Shawn’s thoughts on Hellgate: London.

It’s Friday, and that means another episode of the Gaming Today File-N-Forget Podcast. This week finds Ron and Shawn debating whether the MMORPG is killing the singleplayer RPG, both in sales and in terms of saturation.

Also, instead of our normal Rant or Rave segment, we instead reveal the first details about a new project in the works here at Gaming Today, FileFront Frag Nights.
