GI Show 176: XCOM: Enemy Within Interview, Beyond: Two Souls
In this week's episode we speak with the lead designer of XCOM: Enemy Within and debate Quantic Dream's polarizing Beyond: Two Souls.
First off, we welcome a special guest to the Game Informer Show: Ananda Gupta, the lead designer of the upcoming expansion XCOM: Enemy Within. There's a lot of new content in the game, from espionage to crazy new gene modifications. We go into all the expansion's new content in detail.
Following up is Joe Juba, who joins host Matt Helgeson to discuss his review of David Cage's Beyond: Two Souls. Cage is a distinctive storyteller, but not everyone agrees about the quality of his latest project, which starts actress Ellen Page. The wide-ranging discussion also turns to the philosophy of reviewing games in general and other games which garnered wildly divergent reactions.
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.
