GI Show – The Rapture, Best of Gamescom, And Game Informer Internships
We survived Gamescom 2015 in Cologne, Germany, only to be thrust into the Rapture. This week we recap the big games of Gamescom, like Star Wars: Battlefront, Crackdown 3, and Scalebound, and also discuss the exploration-focused Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Stick around afterwards as we answer more emails and talk with the GI interns about their experience in the program.
The main crew on today's main segment and round of emails is Jeff Cork, Kim Wallace, Ben Hanson, and me. In the final segment, Jeff and Kim are replaced by GI interns Alissa McAloon, Hershall Cook, and Christian Belland. Be sure to watch that last segment if you've ever wondering what an internship at Game Informer is like, and whether it might be for you.

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.
