PIty on 1UP Show and EGM Magazine. Forever will you be enshrined in my memories of the gaming days of yesteryear (two years ago) when the economy wasn't in the toilet. Apparently, when 1UP was purchased by UGO, the 1UP Show and even the #1 Video Game Mag, Electronic Gaming Monthly were seen as insignificant and now cease to exist. I have so many great memories of this epic series. Farewell and good luck to all the workers who lost their jobs!

they had a wonderfully talented cast of reviewers, the 1up show was my favorite thing about Sunday morning... and then they were cancelled, the show was scuttled and everyone fired for no reason at all. Now I just listen to IGN podcasts exclusively, I don't go to the 1up site after they chased off all their talent. Ziff Davis Media is stupid. The 1up show used to be their best product.

This show has raised the bar for what it means to have a video game program. I miss it greatly, but luckily the heart of the team is still out producing great videos about gamers and the games they play.

It would be a lot better if they didn't sit around in an office all day belly aching over what they hate about every game. When they rarely talk about the strong points, its fun to watch. If you are looking for something to point out the good in games, this isn't the podcast.

This is THE best podcast I have ever watched/downloaded and in fact one of the most entertaining shows I watch. It is way better than anything on G4. The 1UP Show beats X-Play to death. Where X-Play sometimes lies about games to make fun of them (I'm especially pointing at The Darkness Review), 1UP just goes with it and says what they feel. Its great. I'd say THIS is what should be on G4, but if it was, I'm sure it'd be streamlined, censored, and simply made less entertaining. Good job guys!

RIP 1up Show...

well, as of today, UGO aquired 1up. First thing to go was the team of Electric Gaming Monthly and the magazine itself along with ending the 1up show and 1up yours. so now my favorite magazine and podcast has come to a permanant end and well over 30 people (including the 1up show cast) were laid off for good. honestly, my hearts go out to them, UGO can suk a &#$% for doing this to good talented people that has captivated everyone's iPod for years (@ least mine) and also to the writer of EGM. R.I.P. EGM and 1up show, you will be missed. And thanks guys for a great run. Click yes if u agree!!!!

As it is hard news to take and hear today marks the end of the best damn video game show ever. 1up show did everything right and did not try to some kids video game show or some show filled with advertisements, they made a video game show for gamers by gamers. It is sad that 2009 marks the end of such a celebration of this hobby we all hold dear.

I listen to the 1up podcast too and know the editors personalities a little, seeing them in the show is a real treat. They focus on a handful of topics and cover them while having a funny theme for the show split into little segments in between. Makes my half hour train ride breeze by, heck I look forward to it!

i love the format. the way it differs from a usually review of a game on paper. only one complain is sometimes the camera, when zoomed in is too "Paul Greengrass"-ish. little less camera shake and i'll enjoy it 110%! the walking around handshake, fine its natural i can deal with that. but the zoomed in constantly shaking on purpose, cut back on it.
P.S. moar richard Li!

Even the intro song... it's so catchy that I want it as a ringtone!

I just wanted to write in and say how much I loved the most recent 1up Show special (ep 137) where it is basically just a dinner conversation between ex-1UPer Mark Macdonald, Erik Wolpaw (Portal), Jonathan Mak (Everyday Shooter), and Dylan Cuttbert(Q Games). They talk about the games that they've worked on, the games that they liked from the last year, and what they want to do in the future. It was very refreshing and smart. Hopefully they can do this as a series, at least semi-regularly, with rotating guests.

Love ot or leave it!

The 1UP Show has the highest production values of any podcast I have ever seen, from the way it's filmed and presented to the music and video game footage.

This podcast is a must see for all video game players.

I've been watching this show for over two years and it remains as one of the most informative and interesting shows about videogames out there. It has an organic feel, which is expressed in the documentary style in which it is shot and edited. In addition to game previews and reviews, the show has been increasingly devoted to interviews with independent and established game creators. If you are interested in videogames at all, you shouldn't miss this show. Also check out 1Up's audio podcasts: Retronauts, EGM Live and 1Up Yours.

Great Show look forward to it every Friday!

The haters towards this podcast must not seem to get the grip that this is totally free. They talk about video games because they are journalist about video games and thats their job. They get to play video games and write about it. I feel they all have great personallity and the humor isnt so over done that its cheesy. If you dont downlaod it in two seconds or it has a glitch in the video, too bad and get over it. Now all you haters can go tell your pimp that you have just been slapped like a two bit hooker.

Sets a high bar for podcasts
I've been subscribed to the 1UP Show for a few months now and have been loving every minute of it. It's the perfect formula for a video podcast in my opinion. It's an informal yet professional discussion on the latest games and industry news, not to mention very entertaining.
The show doesn't seem overly scripted or thought-out so it has a very natural feel to it because everyone is just being themselves. The 1UP and EGM staff seem like fun people, and after watching the show and listening to the 1UP Yours, and EGM Live podcasts (also great podcasts) for a while now I almost feel like I know them.
This podcast also has some of the best production value I've seen on any video podcast. These guys use great cameras and mics, shoot + edit like pros, and don't over compress the video so the picture quality is great.
A must see for any gamer. AAA quality. Keep it up 1UP staff!

I have only two pieces of advice:
1- Produce more content!
2- Try to not get too cheesy with the shaky camera and secondary behind a cubicle wall shots... It was very funny when this was mentioned in ep 68 by one of the interveiwees. I think that the direction of the show should be the same as the views of the people in it: clear, intelligent, concise, and most importantly, no bull****.
Keep it up!

As one of the hosts of another video podcast found on the charts I must say that this podcast is the best one to be found. The creative dialogue, quality video and cast of characters makes this podcast a must. There is simply no one who produces a higher quality show. Now if only this would become weekly... If you just want to sample, grab their 2006 finale, including the theiving of the Wii's. Caution: contains bad words.

You also have a bunch of intelligent and funny people talking about these games, and I feel like I know these people now. And when they throw in occasional random bits of nonsense, I could just fall off my chair laughing. You can tell a lot of hard work goes into The 1UP Show, and it's appreciated.

Well, if you like video games, this podcast should be top priority for you. All of the segments are well-done and informative, plus it's totally free. The one problem is that it can be a bit disorganized, with information on 4 or more games per segment, which leads to downloading things you don't really want. Still, if you're into video-games at all, getting this is a no-brainer.

This podcast is fantastic. I've watched every episode, and it has developed from an interview style show with good production values to a wealth of gamer info that even has creative, very funny subplots that run through each episode. The folks in this cast have gone from static interviewers to their own characters almost. I really really enjoy this podcast, and I'm hardly a gamer.

As far as tv shows based on games, this is the best there is. It is painfully obvious why any normal human being would perfer this over electric playground or anything else on G4 television. In some respects this show is much better than x-play, which is the pinnacle of gaming television. Opinionated and well thought out. Catchy theme song and hilarious segments.

This is really just a thoroughly entertaining show that will bring you up to date with everything that's important. On top of that it's funny and just natural.
The only downside is that they reveal more than I'd care to see on a game. (For example I'm looking to get into Half Life 2 and they pretty muched showed what it was all about on the 6/9/06 episode.) Also they make it ALL very interesting but they don't cover enough if you want to be in on the whole video game scene.
This is something that wouldn't work as a TV show, these guys have mastered the podcast. This is the podcast all others should use as an exmaple.
While not the most informative gaming show, certainly the most fun to watch.

Best Podcast out there so far.

I have come to look forward to the 1Up show the way some people pine for a weekly television show. This video-cast simply gets better and better. From a video game standpoint its hard to find a perspective that is so well balanced; E.G. not written exclusively for the 12 year old heterosexual male demographic. As a 30 year old male, I love this shows relaxed conversational tone which really shines on the broad artistry of gaming. Single handedly the 1Up show has gotten me excited about games again.

It's good enough to hold my attention, and give me the information I want on video games and everything related to them, but I HATE the idea of them putting on a SHOW! They should split this into two separate podcasts, one with just reviews/previews etc (you know, the part about the actual video games/consoles) and "The 1UP Show" part, 'cos that's the part I'm not at all interested in. The story sucks, the acting sucks, and nearly everything else about it is just as dire. But the reviews and anything else related to games/consoles, those are great. This sounds like a bad review, but it's not. Just take out the acting parts, and leave in what's supposed to be there...the focus on video games

This is the only podcast that I watch weekly and I recomend it to anyone who is even a little interested in games. While the office stories aren't always the most interesting, they make great fillers for all of the info you get on the lastest games! Plus the theme music of season 2 is the best theme song I have ever heard for any show!

So good I'd pay for episodes...

There are a lot of crap podcasts on the internet, and most video podcasts are worse. But just when all hope seemed to be lost, along comes an unbelievably well produced and entertaining show like this! Even if you don't care about videogames, watch a few episodes to see how it's done. This isn't just some talking heads sitting behind a desk folks. The conversational style and "on-location" reviews are second to none, the segments extremely well produced (especially for a 'free' show), the interviews with developers provide great insight into the minds of this industry...I can't say enough, this show blows me away. Each episode gets better and more professional...they've even got a theme song now and it actually stands alone as a pretty good tune! Way to go 1up guys and gals, your show is easily broadcast television quality and if you started charging for episodes, I'd pony up in a heartbeat.

Best Videogame Show.

Out of all the other gameshows this one is the victor by far. It is truely entertaining and informative with out being corney and fake like others. Also, its production values seem to be much higher than that of X Play, although they most likely are not.

awesome!

best videogame show I have ever watched. incredibly in depth and they really take you behind the scenes a lot and talk to insiders in a very direct way.

Nothing comes close. The 1up show is leagues away from it's nearest competitor. The cast has some personality and actually know what they're talking about. It really puts anything that aired on G4 (sans Icons) to shame.

Excellent, Thinking Man's Gaming Show

I discovered this podcast last night and it's already become my favorite show on video games and the gaming industry. They're definitely right up there with X-Play. I love the narrative, conversational style the 1Up staff uses to present their content. There's not a lot of flashy content, only people who love to play and talk about games. And what they've got to say is very informative/entertaining. Worth a look!

A look forward to every episode

This is a different type of gaming video cast. Very well done. I too would like to see more. Great stuff.
