GI Show 107: Trivia Challenge, Apple Console, Trials Evolution
This week's Game Informer podcast is something a little different: our first Back Cover Blurb Trivia Challenge game show! Our resident video auteur Ben Hanson came up with idea and takes the reins from host Matt Helgeson to referee this raucous contest. Here's how it works: Ben selected a random assortment of games from the GI Vault, took pictures of the back covers with his iPhone, and then reads off the back cover blurb (censoring out any proper names or references to the title). Contestants Matt Helgeson, Kyle Hilliard, Dan Ryckert, and Tim Turi then buzz in and try to guess the name of the game. It's something different for the show, so please let us know if you like it in the comments below.
The next two segments are a bit more traditional, give or take the contributions of Ben Reeves. In segment two, Andy Reiner and Ben stop by to discuss the Apple console rumors with Matt, followed by a one-on-one session with Dan Ryckert, who gives you the inside details on the XBLA hit Trials Evolution.
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.
