Reader Discussion: A Season For Games?
For many, Memorial Day is a signal that summer has arrived. That means breaking out the grill, lawnmower, and playing games when you aren't out enjoying the weather. Some things just go better at different times of year; certain movies, books, and food are best enjoyed during particular seasons. Does the same rule apply to games?
On some level, a great game is a great game no matter when you play it. But are certain times of year better for certain games? Is the winter best suited to the snow-covered peaks of Skyrim? Is summer the best time to take a vacation to Italy in Assassin's Creed II?
What games do you play at particular times of year? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
