Weekend Confirmed Episode 54
by Garnett Lee, Apr 01, 2011 11:00am PDTIn town on recon for his upcoming relocation to the land of TMZ, palm trees, and convertible sports cars, Xav joins the Jeffs and Garnett for this week's show. With more 3DS games like Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars and Super Street Fighter, plus Shift 2, WWE All Stars, Sword and Sworcery, and more, Whatcha Been Playin? spills over well into the third segment. There's still time for a little discussion in the Warning before moving on to the videogame news of the week. Mortal Kombat and the upcoming Xbox LIVE spring update lead the headlines on the Front Page. Things get a little undone but end strong with Finishing Moves.

AUDIO-OLOGY (n): an original, self-produced music group who combines, live hip-hop and rock into one groundbreaking package, featuring Detroit native Chaz Logan and Louisiana-born Zach Goyne; also a treatment and cure for what ails the music industry.
Audio-ology is the resulting musical mash-up, combining both Chaz and Zach’s roots in the church, with a love of both hip-hop and rock, a blend of backgrounds that results in the perfect post-Obama melting pot. The two met shortly after Zach arrived in L.A., just three days after Hurricane Katrina. Chaz usually comes up with the beats and music, while Zach writes most of the lyrics and collaborates on the melodies.
For more information, including news on their forthcoming debut EP on Eklektic Entertainment, visit the Audio-ology official site. They can also be followed on Facebook and Twitter.

Creating a game is much like making a t-shirt where a small, medium, and large typically have the same $18 price tag even though you have slightly more fabric as you move up to XL which might be an extra two dollars. Regardless of the size, you have to have the same art design, collar, sleeves, and roughly the same amount of fabric.
This is analogous to making a game because whether it's 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours, the basic costs are going to be the same and they can't afford to charge less than $60.
That being said, I wish the industry would try out pushing more games based on volume at $40 because like Garnett was alluding to, we'd be more likely to buy 3 games at $120 than 2 at $60. It would be awesome to buy a Bioshock Infinite at $40 with no multiplayer and I'm sure they'd make up the difference in the volume of sales since everyone would be pushed top pick it up.
