GI Show – Mass Effect, Everything, Adult Swim Interview
Welcome to a new episode of our humble podcast! This week, we finally share our full opinions on the end result of BioWare's Mass Effect: Andromeda and remember that next week we're kicking off our community playthrough and discussion of the game with the GI Game Club. After that, Ben Reeves shares some early thoughts on the Shovel Knight prequel, Spectre of Torment, and we also recommend some good cases for your Nintendo Switch. Things take a turn for the astral after that, as Javy Gwaltney joins the podcast for a lively discussion about the new game called Everything on PS4. Then, we talk about Pokémon developer Game Freak, their new game Giga Wrecker, and their recent job opening for what appears to be a Pokémon game on console. After some great community emails, we're joined by vice president of Adult Swim Games Jeff Olsen and lead producer Chris Johnston to talk about the history of Adult Swim publishing games and what the industry looks like from their perspective.

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.
