- PSOne games hit the store, but what’s missing?
- What happens when God challenges one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world?
- Jack Tretton speaks up
- Warhawk Beta impressions

This is slightly late, as the show came out at the end of last week, but if anyone is interested in the life of a games developer they could do a lot worse than checking out the Full Moon podcast from Insomniac Games, who you would know better as the developers of Resistance: Fall of Man and the upcoming Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. As well as news on both of those titles, they’ve got an interview with Evan Wells of Naughty Dog studios about the upcoming Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, which is well worth a listen, as this really seems to be a title which is making people sit up and pay attention.

While doing the podcast thing, there’s a PS3 podcast around, brought to you by Joystiq–affiliates PS3 fanboy. They’ve only been going for a few episodes, so any downloads and feedback would be appreciated I’m sure.

Other general gaming podcasts you might want to have a look at are the CAGcast from cheapassgamer.com, who are currently experimenting with live shows with varying success, but it’s always worth a listen. Show host CheapyD has a voice which reminds me of a cartoon character, but I can’t place it exactly - it’s nearly like Top Cat but not quite. Answers on a postcard please…

For some furious debate you might want to have a listen to Unclegamer radio from Unclegamer.com. All of the above shows normally weigh in at over an hour and a half in length, so you may need to schedcule in some time to listen to them all.

Finally, but by no means least, you may want to pay a visit to http://www.red-rant.com/. Having already put together a special Three Speech podcast, we are currently in the process of creating another… Watch this space.

Any other UK games podcasts out there? Let us know..

It was a little while ago when Three Speech last hosted its event over at 3Rooms. However, since then, Ben Furneaux, who you may recognise from www.red-riot.net, has been busy putting together a podcast for us, discussing topics raised during the evening.

Hopefully, the first of many click here to listen. Or here if you’d prefer to listen through iTunes.

Enjoy!

As a step on from Folding@Home (of which Three Speech’s involvement with will be confirmed shortly), it’s being reported that Sony is considering making computing power available to other companies

www.dailytech.com says Sony is interested in offering discounts and other incentives to have PlayStation 3 owners create a type of supercomputer grid that can be utilised by businesses. Various companies - particularly those working in the medical and pharmaceutical industries - are apparently interested in harnessing the power from PS3s, instead of paying outright for a supercomputer. Sony would probably have to pay users to keep the PS3 running all the time for the benefit of paying businesses.

Seems this is all at the research stage with Sony not yet certain how many PS3 owners would be into signing up for such a scheme. Discounts on products, free downloads, exclusive content, and points are all possible incentives for participating PS3 owners. Let us know your thoughts on this one.
