GI Show – Hitman, Pokkén, Final Fantasy VII's 2nd Disc
Welcome to a new episode of The Game Informer Show! This week Ben Hanson is joined by Jeff Cork, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava to break down some of the latest games and game news.
First up, Mr. Marchiafava explains why he was disappointed by Hitman's new episodic structure. Kyle then talks about the Pokémon fighting game Pokkén Tournament on the Wii U and his time playing the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. There's also some mopping up with discussions of what The Division gets right and why Stardew Valley is a terrifying force of nature. The back half of the show then has Joe Juba and Ben Reeves join the fray to break down Final Fantasy VII's 2nd disc for GI Game Club. We hope you enjoy the show!
