GI Show 197: Oculus Rift/Facebook Deal, Diablo, BioShock, Galactic Civ III




The Game Informer Show show

Summary: It's been a crazy week in virtual reality, from the unveiling of Sony's Morpheus to Facebook's huge acquisition of Oculus Rift. We give our take on this emerging market, and talk about some great new games. In the first segment, host Matt Helgeson is joined by GI editor in chief Andy McNamara and GI news editor Mike Futter to talk about Oculus Rift's Facebook deal, Sony's new VR headset, and the other competitors in this quickly evolving niche.  Next up, we have a trio of GI editors – Joe Juba, Matt Miller, and Daniel Tack – who stop by to give their opinions on some of the week's high-profile new releases: DIablo III: Reaper of Souls, BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 2, and Mercenary Kings. Finally, a surprise guest from Game Informer's past stops by to talk about Stardock's Galactic Civilization III (hint: it's not Darth Clark). (Please visit the site to view this media)
