Call Of Duty: Vanguard and Forza Horizon 5 Review Impressions | GI Show
In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, the crew discusses the three pillars of Call Of Duty: Vanguard: multiplayer, zombies, and, unfortunately, a lackluster campaign. In a positive turn, we share our Forza Horizon 5 review impressions and talk about how the series continues to shine. Wesley and Jill join the Alexes to discuss the news of Uncharted's former Creative Director, Amy Hennig, working on a narrative-driven game in the Marvel universe.

Call Of Duty: Vanguard is finally here, but is it just more of the same? Or does the first-person shooter stand out amidst its end-of-year competition? Dan Tack and Alex Stadnik break down the shortcomings of the game's single-player campaign while praising its multiplayer offerings.
