    AOL GameShow Episode 7: When Robin Comes for a Visit

    Posted Oct 28th 2009 4:08PM by Libe Goad
    Filed under: Social Games, Facebook Games, AOL GameShow Podcast

    The lovely Robin Yang comes back to AOL GameShow, but as a visitor! She's now the community manager for CandyStand.com and will be coming back to contribute to the podcast every other week. Otherwise, it will be a two-person team of Libe and Laurent and whatever mystery guest we wrangle for the show.

    Other topics this week:

    - Why you should be obsessed with PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies (in stores now)
    - Game Duell's Jungle Jewels on Facebook has us hooked (just try to beat our scores)
    - Rock Band for iPhone Rocks (but not that hard)
    - Twitter and Facebook come to Xbox Live (no, you can't play Mafia Wars on there yet)
    - Plus, a brand new Spanish word of the week!




    Coming Next Week:
    We talk to Pogo.com people to get the lowdown on their new all-canine social game, Pogo Puppies.

    AOL GameShow, Episode #5: The Bachelor(ette)

    Posted Oct 5th 2009 10:30AM by Robin Yang
    Filed under: Features, AOL GameShow Podcast

    The most handsome man in gaming, Playfish's Sebastien de Halleux, joins the cast to talk about games and love, Facebook and... rainbow poo.

    This week we were extremely lucky to snag co-founder and chief operating officer of Playfish (makers of hit social games Pet Society and Restaurant City, among others), Sebastien de Halleux. If you've listened to any of our recent podcasts, you'd know how much of a crush we've had on him -- this is the guy who, with a charming Belgium accent mind you, said that "Games are Love," back at this year's Casual Connect conference.

    We (barely) managed to keep our composure long enough to ask him about life at Playfish, how they come up with stuff like Rainbow Poo and developing on the Facebook platform. We also get him to clarify what he meant by "Games are Love," and even get him to spill some exclusive tips and hints for Pet Society and Restaurant City.

    We thought we'd take this special moment to point out that our very own AOL GameShow Video Podcast is being featured in the iTunes Store in the 'New & Noteworthy' Podcasts section! Sure, it's the last slot on the last page, but who are we to complain?

    If you haven't checked out our podcast before, now's your chance! All episodes are listed in the AOL GameShow category of our site, and include links to both the video and audio versions.

    We'll be recording a brand-new episode tomorrow with special guest Sebastien de Halleux, the co-founder and COO of Playfish (and between you and us, a pretty handsome dude), maker of popular Facebook games such as Pet Society, Restaurant City and Who Has the Biggest Brain. Let us know if you have any questions or comments for him! The episode will go live on the site later in the afternoon.

    What's the AOL GameShow Podcast?

    It's the best idea we've had since the last best idea we had.

    Hosts Libe Goad, Laurent Courtines and Robin Yang are joined weekly by an ever-rotating cast of games industry friends/cohorts to talk about video/casual/social games -- we'll do a quick run-down of the week's big news and hit a few interesting discussion points.

    You should also expect such recurring segments as Spanish Word of the Day (where we translate popular gaming terminology into Spanish) and What You Should Be Playing This Week Or Else You're A Big Dum-Dum (this one's pretty self-explanatory).

    Awesome! How do I watch/listen to this show?

    We're so glad you asked! We'll be posting each episode (video and audio) on this, the Games.com blog, every week as it debuts. But there are also multiple ways to subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode!
