GI Show – Star Fox's Future, Battleborn, Intern Back Of The Box Trivia
This week on The Game Informer Show, we're tackling the future of Nintendo's dogfighting game, the tricky definition of a "hero shooter," and introduce you to our beloved interns. Host Ben Hanson is joined by Jeff Cork to talk about his review of Star Fox Zero, Jeff Marchiafava to talk about the 3DS JRPG Bravely Second, and Dan Tack to talk about (quietly the best game released this week) Banner Saga 2. After some reader emails, we're joined by Game Informer's departing interns Luke Walaszek, Connor Trinske, and Joe Buchholz to talk about our internship program and play a heated, "special intern edition" game of "Back of the Box Trivia".

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.
