GI Show 163: Terrible Games, NCAA Football 14
Good games are overrated! It's high time the GI Show gave some props to terrible games, and Ride to Hell: Redemption and Dark are the perfect case studies in bad development. During the first segment, host Matt Helgeson welcomes Tim Turi, Jeff Cork, and Andy Reiner to the show to talk about these recent duds. We also talk about what makes some bad games compelling in their own strange way -- what separates the "so bad it's good" from the "so bad it's bad." We also ponder the future of bad games and whether we can still expect the industry to push out those damaged cult classics that have been the bread and butter of our Replay videos.
Even though it's not terrible, we also talk about NCAA Football 14, with Matt Kato and Matt Bertz. It's the last NCAA before next-gen hits and it won't be released for Xbox One or PS4 this fall. So, if you love college pigskin, current-gen systems are the only way you're going to get a chance. During the segment, we break down the game's strengths and weaknesses and ponder where it can grow in the future.
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.
