GI Show – Mass Effect Impressions, Blizzcon, NES Classic
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show podcast! It's a shorter show this week, since Ben Hanson is still recovering from Extra Life 2016's draining endurance run. It might be shorter than normal, but this week's episode features Joe Juba and Ben Hanson sharing exclusive impressions of visiting BioWare Montreal to see and play a ton of Mass Effect Andromeda. After that fun chat, we talk about what it was like on the ground floor of Blizzcon 2016 with Dan Tack and what makes Overwatch's new Sombra character so unique. Then we talk to Suriel Vazquez about his glowing review of Owlboy and Joe Juba about the pros and cons of the NES Classic Edition. We hope you enjoy the show, be sure to tell a friend if you think they'd enjoy this exclusive Mass Effect conversation!

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.
