GI Show – Injustice 2, Arms, Saving Gaming's History
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show podcast! This week, we have DC expert and fighting game fan Andrew Reiner and fighting game expert and DC fan Suriel Vazquez on to talk about what Injustice 2 gets right. After that, Kyle Hilliard talks about his recent voyage to play Nintendo games like Arms for the Switch and Ever Oasis on the New 2DS XL. We also talk about Farpoint on PlayStation VR, and Reiner explains why The Surge is an interesting take on a "sci-fi Dark Souls" formula. After some great community emails, we're joined by Frank Cifaldi to talk about the Video Game History Foundation and fighting the good fight to preserve gaming's history. We also discuss what he's doing in Game Informer's office...

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.
