GI Show 219: Shadow of Mordor, Super Smash Bros., Forza Horizon 2
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is the highest-profile Lord of the Rings game in years, and we break down the game in detail. We also give significant time to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Forza Horizon 2.
Host Matt Helgeson is joined by GI's Tim Turi, Joe Juba, and Andy Reiner to talk about Monolith's deep new LOTR game. It's not without its flaws – which leads to some disagreements among the crew on just how good the game really is.
Harmony reigns in the next segment, in which Jeff Cork and Ben Hanson are in agreement that Super Smash Bros. 3DS is an excellent handheld iteration of the storied Nintendo fighting franchise.
Finally, Matt Kato stops by to talk about Forza Horizon 2, the latest in Microsoft's more casual, open-world version of its formidable racing franchise.
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.
