GI Show – Anthem's Struggles, Tetris 99, Alexa Spy Game
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! On this episode, Andrew Reiner, Matt Miller, and Suriel Vazquez talk about the challenges of writing the review for Anthem and why Bioware's new game is off to a rocky start. Then Kyle Hilliard and Dan Tack join the show to debate whether Tetris 99 deserves to be called a battle royale. After some great community emails, we continue our bizarre trend of playing audio-only adventure games through Amazon Alexa. This time, we're playing the sexy spy thriller Codename Cygnus from Earplay.

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.
