Game Informer Show 95: Richard Garriott's Space Mission, CES

by Matt Helgeson on Jan 12, 2012 at 01:00 PM

This week, we decided to do something a little different on the Game Informer Show. In the first segment, host Matt Helgeson is joined by famed Ultima creator Richard Garriott, who is generally considered the father of the modern MMO, who tells us about his trip to the International Space Station. His journey into space is documented in a new film entitled Man on a Mission, which hits theaters and pay-per-view tomorrow. He's one of only seven private citizens to go into space, and he spent $30 million of his own money to do it. It's quite a tale. We also get a little glimpse into what's next for Garriott as a game designer -- and it's not what you expect. In the second segment, GI's Matt Bertz calls in from Las Vegas, where he's covering the annual Consumer Electronics Show. He's got the dope on all the latest HDTVs, gaming peripherals, tablets, and laptops -- and some new development with Kinect.
