UKotaku - UKotaku Vs. OtakuZoku


00:29:44 minutes (27.23 MB)

Our roving reporter Monty B headed over the new Otaku Zoku shop in Cathays, Cardiff to glean insight and opinion from the shop's proud owners, Russell and Hayden.
And behold! This is not just a shameless plug but 30 minutes of our usual brilliant level of anime based chatter from Monty and the new boys on the block, and ok maybe a little bit of shamless pluggery, enjoy!

Check out Otaku Zoku online or in store!

UKotaku - S2 E12: Horrible Horrifying Horror


1:52:30 minutes (154.28 MB)

This show was a creepy horror special! Myself (n00j) Briggy and Monty talked about the Japanese culture of horror: from ghosts of the past to the films, manga, anime and games of the present.
We also had our usual selection of dubious facts, stupidity and general tom-foolery plus some awesome tunes too!

Digital Distribution vs. Retail Gaming - Part 1

Welcome to UKotaku/Capture the Frag’s first article on this issue. Over the next few weeks/months I shall be discussing the pros and cons of Digital Distribution services and Retail services in terms of gaming. This article will kick us off by discussing an event that happened to me today which sums up a major pro and con for retail.

As any avid podcast listener will know, I love games, I love them more than a lot of things, as much as my immediate family even; and so when one of my favorite developers (Valve) release a sequel to one of my favorite games (Left 4 Dead), well kids, you should know I'm going to be first in line for some of that zombie goodness.

UKotaku - S2 E11: RPG Madness


2:14:53 minutes (167.06 MB)

This show was an RPG through the ages special. We talk at great length (for over two hours in fact) about everything from the dawn of the RPG era to present day and from East to West too.
Plus Briggy gave us a super in depth review of Dragon Age: Origins and we had our usual mix of awesome, quirky music and of course some down right silliness.
