This week we delve into some recent mobile releases, and celebrate the return of Back Cover Blurb Trivia. Kicking things off, host Matt Helgeson is joined by GI interns Ali Rapp and Jack Gardner, who have been doing some weekly mobile roundup on the website. They clue us in on some recent smartphone and tablet games that are worth your time and money. In the second segment, we celebrate the return of the Back Cover Blurb Trivia Challenge. Matt bows out this round, so Ben Hanson serves as the host and game master. Joe Juba, Dan Ryckert, Tim Turi, and Jeff Cork are on hand to compete for the title. Who reigns supreme? You'll have to listen to find out.

Haha Every time I hear the word trivia I think of the Super Replay Showdown.

No Ben Reeves? I'm shocked;)

I am developing a greater respect for the writers on game informer because of these interns... "it seems like a combination of Limbo and.. uh... something... some other artsy indy game..." anyway I hope I don't hurt anyones feelings but i'm not a huge fan of these interns and I kinda just want the regulars in my gameinformer podcast...

Always love the Back Cover Blurb Trivia Challenge, though I got to say I might have wiped the floor with you gentlemen this time. Keep em comin, at least on weeks with no notable releases.

Yay trivia!

Of course Tim got the Mega Man one. And Joe got in before Dan - smack that fool down Hanson! xD

Hey I got Glover and Final Fantasy X-2 right, that's 2 out of... well, that's a lot because it's more than zero.
