GI Show 115: Walking Dead, Indie Scene, Free-To-Play & Cloud Gaming
It's the slow season for new releases, but the topsy-turvy world of video games gave us plenty to talk about this week.
First off, we catch up with a game we weren't able to include last week: episode 2 of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead adventure series. Ben Reeves reviewed it for Game Informer, and stops by to tell you (and host Matt Helgeson) why even non-adventure fans should check this game out. He also plugs his new book -- the techno-thriller Kill Screen (available on Amazon).
In the second segment, Matt Miller delivers one of his semi-regular indie/downloadable scene reports. Between a handful of recent releases and some standout titles that appeared at E3, he has a lot to talk about.
Finally, GI head cheese Andy McNamara and editor Matt Bertz engage in a wide-ranging discussion about the future of free-to-play games, Sony's acquisition of the game streaming service Gaikai, and the changing landscape of the industry.
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.
