This is Evolved Gaming Episode 30! Where the gamers give away a lot of stuff! & we discuss some things also!

Novaleaf Software Corp’s CEO Jason Swearingen Speaks on MS Community Games and, specifically, Biology Battle!

Another week; another interview!  This week Jason Swearingen, of Novaleaf, spends the full show with us.  We start off with an interview about his company, why he decided to start a game studio in Thailand and his community game Biology Battle (360Evolved Review).  The talk is candid and we here at Evolved Gaming Network appreciate the honesty, and willingness to answer just about anything, that Jason provided us.  I encourage all to give it a listen and then give a lot of thought to the limits Microsoft is placing on our game developers!

With the full staff back, and a guest, we press on to “what we’ve been playing/watching” and “The News features special correspondant Jason Swearingen and new PSN reporter Cory Grimes”; what happen to Drew’s stories?  Have to listen to find out!  But with Cory back that means SHOW NOTES are back as well:

• Burnout Paradise DLC cars
• Home gets EA Sports complex
• LBP weekly DLC returning next week, with “big surprises”
• Uno coming to PS3, PSP, DS
• William Shatner coming to PAIN
• Bob’s Game 100 day protest ends after a month
• PSN Store update

• Socom patch 1.30 brings Trophies, party system, bug fixes
