GI Show – Labo Hands-On, Ion Maiden, Robin Hunicke Interview




The Game Informer Show show

Summary: Welcome back to The Game Informer Show podcast! On this week's episode (recorded before the Nintendo Direct... sorry), Ben Hanson, Ben Reeves, Kyle Hilliard, and Andrew Reiner talk about the natural comparison between Deep Rock Galactic and Red Faction, what it's like to actually play with Nintendo Labo on Switch, and have a Mario Party-off between Frantics on PlayLink and Scribblenauts Showdown. Javy Gwaltney joins the podcast to talk about The Behemoth's Pit People and the new throwback FPS from 3D Realms called Ion Maiden. After some great community emails about Batman and Super Smash Bros., we're joined by Funomena's Robin Hunicke to talk about The Sims, Wattam, and Steven Spielberg's Boom Blox.
