GI Show – Halo 5, Overwatch, Geoff Keighley Interview
This week's biggest release is the latest in Microsoft's Halo series: Halo 5: Guardians. Much of the gaming conversation revolves around 343 Industries' Xbox One-exclusive juggernaut, but we also dive into our impressions of Blizzard's Overwatch beta and the conclusion of Telltale's Tales from the Borderlands. Video game personality and creator of the Video Game Awards, Geoff Keighley, also joins us for the final segment to to talk about his career and friendship with Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima.
In addition to talking all about Halo 5 on its own merits, we also discuss the bizarre feeling of switching between that game and Destiny, created by the original Halo developers at Bungie. We also have a great email segment after the specific game chat, covering everything from memorable video game sound effects to some of the most influential Final Fantasy games.
