Marcus returns from The Game Awards 2025 to tell Alex and Charles about the on-the-ground experience.

Metroid Prime 4 and Marvel Cosmic Invasion Review
Dec 05, 2025Winter's here, the snow is falling, and the last big games of 2025 are debuting. It's a packed week on The Game Informer Show, as Kyle Hilliard discusses his review of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Marcus Stewart dives into the super-sprites of Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

The Games You Should Play Over The Holidays
Nov 26, 2025It's Thanksgiving week in the US, which means the GI staff is taking some time off, heading to wherever they rest their heads, planning dinners and get-togethers, and getting in some extra game time.
In light of that, we're publishing a special early edition of The Game Informer Show this week with a little twist - rather than a roundtable discussion, we had everyone contribute their own solo take on what they're playing, thinking about, or otherwise getting back into this holiday break! From the 2025 backlog to older games, and even some tabletop options, we've got a boatload...

Before all that, though, Charles shares some early impressions of the zany, speedy Kirby Air Riders and a new indie rogue-like called Morsels. Plus, we close the show out with another edition of GI Oughta Know, this time all about the history of The Game Awards!

Ghost Of Yotei, Hades 2, and Silent Hill F Reviews
Sep 26, 2025October's just about here, and that means we are struggling to stay afloat in a sea of virtual experiences. Marcus, Kyle, and Charles gathered together this week to discuss the big games they've been playing, and oh boy, there are a lot of them.
We start off with Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei, followed by Hades 2, both of which seem to be frontrunners for this season's lineup of games. Silent Hill f has caused some consternation and evaluation, perhaps appealing to those drawn to rough edges, and/or creepy knife monsters. Baby Steps toes right in after them...

Sep 09, 2025In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we dive deep into the past to save the future with Cronos: The New Dawn, which sounds cool, but is ultimately fine. It's a solid survival horror game from Bloober Team.
