The Game Informer Show Ep. 30: Crackdown 2, WoW Controversy
The Game Informer Show officially has our mojo back. After last week's comeback episode we are keeping the momentum going with another podcast, and this one is a doozy. First up, we are joined by Ben Reeves and Joe "Wolfman" Juba as the pair discusses the failings of one of the year's most disappointing triple-A titles, Crackdown 2. Listen in to hear them vent their frustration. The second segment centers around Square Enix's Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies. Joe and host Matt Helgeson are back and joined by noted JRPG expert Phil Kollar. Finally, we wrap things up with an ultra-controversial segment pertaining to Blizzard's new "Real ID" forum policies. This has been the subject of much anger in the World of Warcraft community – an anger shared by Game Informer editor in chief Andy McNamara. Seriously, he's pretty wound up about this. Phil and Matt also pitch in as the crew discusses the possible implications this policy has for the future of your privacy as a gamer. Even if you don't play WoW, this discussion has a lot of implications for the future of online gaming.
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.
