GI Show – Deus Ex, Titanfall 2, Worms Interview
This week on The Game Informer Show, I'm joined by Andrew Reiner, Elise Favis, and Matt Bertz to break down the biggest gaming discussions of the week. Andrew Reiner explains why he was a little let down by the new Deus Ex, Matt Bertz shares his thoughts and the community feedback toward Titanfall 2's public tech test, and Elise Favis recounts her most impactful hands-on previews over in Germany at Gamescom.
After a little discussion about the review of Madden 17, the ongoing insanity of Pokémon Go, and some great community emails, the back half of the show is dominated by Team17 and the Worms franchise. We're joined by Team17 creative director Kevin Carthew to talk about the recently released Worms WMD, the glory of Worms Armageddon, and how the hell the studio has kept the series alive for decades.

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.
