GI Show – Star Wars: Battlefront, StarCraft II, Firewatch's Sean Vanaman
Our steady ramp of excitement for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has hit a bit of snag with this week's release of Star Wars: Battlefront. We discuss the game's shortcomings before digging into what makes the third and final StarCraft II game, Legacy of the Void, different from the two previous installments. Be sure to stick around for our chat with Firewatch developer Sean Vanaman, who discusses his time working at Disney and creating the memorable characters of Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season 1.
One of our guests this week is GI's resident Star Wars super fan, Andrew Reiner. Dan Tack brings his PC gaming knowledge to the table to square off against the RTS passion of your host, Ben Hanson. Tim Turi also returns after finally finding his voice following the Ghost Pepper Incident of Extra Life 2015 to breathlessly get out his feelings about Fallout 4.
