The 1UP Yours crew: (left to right) Bryan Intihar, Shane Bettenhausen, Andrew Pfister, Garnett Lee and Shawn Elliott
Last Thursday, the staff of Level Up made a guest appearance on the Ziff-Davis podcast 1UP Yours.
Though the lineup has changed a number of times since hitting its
stride--so long, Luke! Farewell, John! Happy trails, Mark!--it has
nevertheless remained our videogame podcast of choice; its Friday
afternoon availability confirming the onset of weekend freedom. On last
week's show, topics included:
- The cult hit No More Heroes (not all it's cracked up to be, according to Shawn Elliott)
- Army of Two (noticeably improved, with a cool new multiplayer co-op mode, says Garnett Lee)
- The Club (better than some of the reviews would indicate, swears Level Up)
- The
January NPD sales figures (we'll wait to see if PS3's victory over Xbox
360 represents a blip or a trend, says the entire panel)
- Some
interesting tidbits about Xbox boss Don Mattrick and his right hand man
John Schappert, who's delivering a GDC keynote this week

And be sure to tune back in this Friday, when the Fearsome Foursome not
only welcome Level Up back to the studio for a second round under the
hot lights, but our Brooklyn blogging nemesis as well: MTV
Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo. Like Wolverine vs. Sabretooth, Rorschach
vs. Dr Manhattan, or Archie vs. Reggie, this next podcast promises to
be a donnybrook of epic proportions. Don't miss it.
