Episode 23 of the Custom PC Podcast

Posted at: Tuesday 25th November 2008 by Clive Webster

Clive is joined by Mark and Antony to discuss the latest happenings, with Intel's Core i7 finally going on sale a main point of discussion. Antony's love for all things zombie resurfaces, with Left 4 Dead now finally released. Listen in for the chance to win Project Aftermath in our Guess the Game Music competition.

This episode sees the team chat about the pricing for Intel's Core i7 processor and the expensive motherboards to put them in. Clive, Mark and Antony also go over the week's game chart, with the new inclusion of the Steam Top 10 chart too.

Despite seeing the two most eagerly awaited additions to Lord of the Rings Online and World of Warcraft, plus Call of Duty: World at War, there's still room in the Top 10 for two Sims titles. How? Antony also gives some tips on how to get the most from Left 4 Dead in co-op mode and reveals just how much he loves zombie.

The prize for this episode's Guess the Game Music competition is the critically acclaimed Project Aftermath, so listen in and see if you know what game the music is from.

Great cast

but I have to register my disappointment, not with this episode in particular, but I really would like to hear more. I'm not asking for longer episodes, but more of them. I love listening to the CPC cast, but they just don't come often enough. GFW, 1up.com etc cast weekly (usually), so can CPC step it up a bit? Please?

Too smart for their own good...

What a joke, a bunch of grown men rating a game based on fiction ( Einstein this, Einstein that...), Lol. C&C is a classic, full stop. In my opinion, the wost cpc podcast (so far...)

It does have good replay value, but i thought i was getting to the end of a level or mission after playing for an hour and a half, and was rather shocked that the whole game was finished ! I cant do online games with my 3 mobile broadband (10-15kb connection speed), so i'm stuck with single player modes !

Noooo! Left 4 Dead has so much replay value, and that's just the campaigns. Once you factor in Versus mode, it's fantastic value for money (well, maybe not on Steam, where it's $50, but from Amazon it's only £20 quid)

Left for dead was way too short, it should have been bundled on a disc with HL2 episode 3 like they did for portal in the orange box. And i'm really enjoying the new call of duty game. I think the fire is more realistic in Cod 5 than it is in farcry 2.
