GI Show – Horizon, Mass Effect Andromeda, Playing The Switch
Welcome to a dense, new episode of The Game Informer Show! First up, we have Jeff Marchiafava to talk about why he really enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn from Guerrilla Games. Then Javy Gwaltney shares a lot of new info on his time playing Mass Effect Andromeda for three hours, and Ben Reeves weighs in on the new (console-friendly) RTS Halo Wars 2. Jeff Cork also shares his raw impressions of playing Double Fine's Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin with PlayStation VR. After some great community emails, we unleash our full opinions on our extended time playing the Nintendo Switch. It's an exciting week! Tell a friend if you enjoy the show!

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.
