GI Show – Comic-Con Recap, We Happy Few, Deus Ex Game Club
This week on The Game Informer Show, we break down some of the big news and fun things to see at Comic-Con 2016 before diving into games. Brian Shea joins us to talk about Gears of War 4, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and Sonic Mania. After that, we get to Javy Gwaltney and his glowing review of the hacking-puzzle game Quadrilateral Cowboy and Jeff Cork's thoughts on Double Fine's Headlander. There's also some thoughts on We Happy Few and why it might not be what you think.
The back half of the show this week continues our trek through Deus Ex: Human Revolution from Eidos Montreal. We played and discuss the middle chunk of that game, and look forward to finishing things off on August 11th's show. So join in and send your thoughts on the game to podcast@gameinformer.com.

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.
