GI Show – SteamWorld Heist, Amplitude, GI Interns Goodbye
The holidays are upon us, and we're eagerly awaiting all the fun video games and video game-related goodies that our loved ones will surely be giving us. By no means does that mean we're waiting to play the games we want to play now, though. Ben Hanson and Tim Turi are joined by Ben Reeves and Joe Juba to talk about everything we've been playing – the good and bad. The Good: SteamWorld Heist, the fun 2D strategy game on 3DS by the folks who made SteamWorld Dig, King's Quest Chapter 2, and Harmonix's Amplitude. We also touch on The Bad: Wii U exclusive Devil's Third by Valhalla Game Studios. We round out the rest of the show by answering emails and talk about the best games of the year with interns Marcus Stewart, Joseph Knoop, and Parker Lemke as they say their goodbyes.

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.
