GI Show – Our Top Five RPGs, Ninja Theory Interview
We have a great, big, and funky episode of The Game Informer Show for you today. The June cover story for our magazine focuses on "The Top 100 RPGs Of All Time". But, since we're an office of passionate RPG-lovers, we all have our own opinions and favorites as well. So join Ben Hanson, Suriel Vazquez, Joe Juba, Javy Gwaltney, and Dan Tack as we break down our personal five favorite RPGs. After some great community emails with Ben Reeves, we're joined by Ninja Theory's co-founder and creative director Tameem Antoniades to answer questions from the community about DmC, Heavenly Sword, and their upcoming Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Enjoy the show!

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.
