GI Show – Mario Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Origins, Destiny 2 PC, Wolfenstein II
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show podcast! In this week's episode, guest host Andy McNamara along with Suriel Vasquez breaks down the biggest releases of the biggest week in games this year. First, Andrew Reiner joins the duo to talk Super Mario Odyssey and why it's the best Mario game since Galaxy. Then, Matt Miller debates with Suriel about Assassin's Creed Origins, Dan Tack weighs in on the minor launch issues and major launch joys of Destiny 2 on PC, and Javy Gwaltney talks about everything that makes Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus stand among his favorite games of all times. Finally we have some great community emails, including the thrilling conclusion to the Game Informer GOTY bracket battle. Pay special attention to the claps in the video version this week, because I don't think we got a single one right and I was laughing hysterically putting them together. Ben Hanson will be back next week, we promise.

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.
