1UP Shows and Podcasts: Difference between revisions

On June 10, 2008 it was announced that EGM Live* would be re-structured into a new program.<ref name=autogenerated1>[https://archive.is/20130116001313/http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=8765045&publicUserId=4549029 ]</ref> 1UP FM aired first on June 16, 2008 and was released every Monday. The show, hosted by Nick Suttner and Philip Kollar was more structured than its predecessor, containing several regular segments, including Shelf Life, Top 5, a rant by Anthony Gallegos, Mailbag, and the Backlog, which takes place after the outro every week. The "FM" in the title stands for "Feature Mondays", as the show often centered around one or several main features, including developer interviews or hands-on previews of an upcoming game.

 

The show featured a regular segment called the Backlog. The concept of the Backlog was that the hosts play through and discuss a game that received a great deal of critical acclaim, but was mostly overlooked by the gaming masses. Generally, the segment covered one game per month, with the discussion being broken up over the course of four episodes. The segment began with the hosts discussing the acclaimed [[Team Ico]] game [[Shadow of the Colossus]]. The next game discussed was [[Psychonauts]], developed by [[Tim Schafer]] and [[Double Fine Productions]]. For the final episode of the Psychonauts discussion, the hosts interviewed Tim Schafer.
