The Game Informer Show Ep. 33: Rock Band 3, Summer of Arcade
Another week, another crazy packed episode of the Game Informer Show! This week, we kick off with Miller and I joined by a STUDIO FULL OF GUESTS from Harmonix: manager of communications John Drake, senior designer Sylvain Dubrofsky, Dance Central project lead Kasson Crooker, and Rock Band 3 project lead Daniel Sussman. This rowdy crew breaks down both of Harmonix's upcoming releases (Rock Band 3 and Dance Central) while taking time to discuss the unique ass-tracking abilities of Kinect. No joke!
In our second segment, I'm joined by Jeff Marchiafava, Meagan VanBurkleo, and Andrew Reiner to talk about this year's Xbox Live Arcade "Summer of Arcade" releases. Limbo, Hydro Thunder, Castlevania, Monday Night Combat, and Lara Croft all get discussed, as well as our overall feelings about this year's Summer of Arcade offerings.
And to wrap things up, Reiner sticks around while Jeff Cork and Ben Reeves join in for a reader mailbag. You sent in your questions about the games of the summer and fall, and we answer them. We also spend a while talking about Ben's inability to walk down stairs and Jeff's pure hatred for the Halo franchise. You have to hear it for yourself!

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.
