Three Moves Ahead - Empire: Total War
I like Troy S. Goodfellow a lot - and not just because I respect him as a writer or because I think he’s a nice guy. He is one smart cookie when it comes to strategy games - and with the help of fellow Game Trust member Tom Chick and former Computer Games Magazine alum Bruce Geryk - his Three Moves Ahead podcast is the only game in town to dissect the genre to infinity. Beyond that, it is informative and interesting; you can actually learn things entertain yourself for an hour.
This week’s podcast almost exclusively deals with Empire: Total War and what the trio thinks about it as a game, what might work better from a design perspective and a bunch of posturing on other topics and games. You can check out the latest podcast at Flash of Steel. Even if strategy is not your favored genre, this podcast is entertaining.

Scott Jones Invades C|Net
Our very own Scott Jones makes a guest appearance on C|Net’s The 404 Podcast to spread the Crispy message, talk about why Japanese ladies love the DSi, his colorful and sexy (?) past at a certain men’s magazine and his sponsorship deal with Dickie’s. Here’s the promo from the official podcast home:
“Scott Jones from online gaming web site Crispy Gamer comes to the show to talk about everything under the sun, including his stint as a writer at a porn magazine and the video game industry in general. Jeff and Scott wonder why anybody would ever buy the new Nintendo DS, while Wilson reminds everyone that there are a billion Asian girls who love cute gadgets.”
The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
