The lights are on
Enjoy a helping of the Game Informer Show for Thanksgiving, as we talk about a couple of big releases plus the conclusion of Telltale's The Walking Dead.
First up is Hitman: Absolution. Host Matt Helgeson is joined by "The Jeffs" -- Jeff Cork and Jeff Marchifava -- to discuss the new reboot of IO Interactive's long-running Hitman series. The Hitman games have always been long on depth and spotty on execution, but this latest is the best and most polished entry to date. It's also got some very interesting community creation features, which we discuss as well.
The second segment, which deals with Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two and the handheld Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion, turns out a bit more contentious than we expected. Matt Miller is still a little miffed at how Epic Mickey 2 turned out, and Bryan Vore and Ben Hanson have some serious disagreements about the quality of Power of Illusion.
Finally, Jeff Cork returns with Ben Reeves in tow to ponder the epic finale of The Walking Dead. The fifth and final episode just released, it's a powerful conclusion to one of the year's most gripping gaming experiences.

Awesomesauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The deluxe eagle was instrumental in the downfall of the Jim Crow laws due to his knowledge of the not so well known 4th Amendment to the Bird Constitution- the one that says non contributing members of bird society are not allowed to incriminate or discriminate against the less than intelligent seagulls. Deluxe eagles also are guarding shoppers through the holiday season.
Very nice!
Funny, I wasn't looking forward to Hitman and I ended up wanting it after the Test Chamber, the sniper challenge TC, and this podcast and I was looking forward to Power of Illusion and am shaky about getting it now.
nice podcast
I actually liked Epic Mickey 2. I think it deserved a 7.75
I wouldn't call the latest the "best" (I'd say that for Blood Money), but it certainly looks the most polished. I do dislike the lack of real challenge in the kills and loadout options, but I guess at least there is a story reason for both (he isn't constantly going after near impossible targets, and he is always on the run without safehouse access).
Hitman looks great! I can't wait to try it out.
Awesome.
Alright, I'm sold on Hitman. I've never even heard of it till I saw that cinematic trailer of the nuns. Can't wait to play it!
hitman is awesome one of the best stealth games ive ever played.the hit the nail on the head with absolution. and the contracts mode is sweet. and the walking dead game is great making those tough decisions can really make you think back if you made the right choice.
IO is from Denmark.
Ugh. Who there can't pronounce, "Luchador"? Every time I heard, "Luke-a-door", a little bit of me died on the inside. Thanks a lot... I'm going to blame Jeff Cork? What the heck man. Luchador. "LOOCH".
It's always troubling whenever people whose job it is to write about things can't seem to read ;)
