Game Informer Editorial

We hope everyone enjoyed a fun Fourth of July weekend full of grilling and gaming. Based on this week's Blog Herding, it looked like quite a few people found time to write about games as well!

This week's Blog Herding is a little smaller than usual, but that's because you are all out celebrating the announcement of the latest Monster Hunter, right? Even with the lower amount of blogs, there's still a great selection of topics to read about.

E3 is now officially over, which means Blog Herding is back! This week marks a return to Blog Herding as a regularly scheduled weekly post of awesome. 

With another E3 behind us, we pick out the best stand-out games that stole the show.

We spoke with Level-5 president Akihiro Hino.

We sat down with director Kenta Motokura and producer Yoshiaki Koizumi to talk about Mario's new hat Cappy, his unique new abilities, and Odyssey's fun Easter Eggs.

We sent two Monster Hunter newbies to check out
Capcom’s extended demo at E3.

We have a super awesome edition of Blog Herding this week, thanks to all of G.I.'s wonderful bloggers.

This growing list rounds up the games that have a shot at being at E3 2017.

We guess what direction Microsoft takes the Xbox platform at this year's show.

With a few exceptions, we don't know what Nintendo has planned for E3 2017 – but we can make predictions.

E3 is just around the bend, and Sony is gearing up for its yearly press conference. Here are some of the big announcements we expect to see.

E3 looms and we've got our boldest predictions about what we're going to see at the show ready to go.

Harada discusses the importance of arcade releases, story modes, and spectating in fighting games.

Persona received a lot of interest from the blogging community this week, as did the tabletop incarnation of Dark Souls and a blast from the relatively recent past.

This week sees an even split in blogs and writing responses – and all of them were fantastic. From oddball eating habits to under-appreciated role-playing games, this week has it all!

Another week, another Blog Herding edition – and that means another collection of compelling blogs to read.

I'm surprised to see all the game of the year talk this early in the year, but it is a testament to the quality of games we've seen released before the summer. Overall, this is a great week of blogs, and there is something for everyone!

It seems like people had Square Enix in their thoughts this week! Aside from that, we've got a good mix of blogs centered on more Zelda, books, and – a complete surprise – Prey!
