The Great Gatsby Finally Gets A Game
Game Informer’s yearly April Fools insert, Game Infarcer, has a long and storied history of being clairvoyant. This year we looked into our crystal ball and saw a video game version of The Great Gatsby, and what do you know? Seems like we were right on the money. I-play recently released a point-and-click adventure based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel.
We’re not exactly sure how much fun a game about a reclusive rich bootlegger could be. Sure, Fitzgerald’s novel is a classic, but unless running over women with a car is your idea of fun, what kind of gameplay elements can you really draw out of the novel?
As for Game Infarcer, what crazy future reveals will it predict next? What about Kanye & Lynch 3: Dog-Eared Dayz, a new buddy criminal game from IO Interactive staring Hip-Hop artist Kayne West? We’ll just have to wait and see.

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.
