“Thank you for offering a physical subscription of the magazine outside of GS. Can’t stand that company and their horrible customer service. Signed up for a two year subscription as soon as I heard about it on the podcast. Was disappointed when I could only get digital through the GS subscription...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a reader for almost 20 years and a listener since like 2010. Safe to say I love GI. But the podcast is so quiet! I feel like I need to blast the volume to hear it in the car, and when a different show comes on it basically blows my ear drums. I don’t know if the GI folks are just quiet,...”Read full review »

“Great podcast. The only issue is everyone is on a different type of mic, different ranges from the mic, some are muffled, some trail off, some dont speak up, some suddenly LAUGH VERY LOUDLY or go up and down in volume constantly. If you tune your volume to hear the most quiet person, the...”Read full review »

It’s the #1 podcast I listen to every week.

“As a listener of the show for several years, I can say the current staff (June 2023) is simply to young. None of them seem to have enough experience with older games for good comparisons and the overall show lacks insight into games beyond basic descriptions. I recommend MinnMax or IGNs podcast...”Read full review »

“Seems like the current staff is out of touch with the market. From recent comments about the “scarcity” of PS5s in the industry to other trends they seem to have missed. Maybe they’d benefit from interacting more with consumers and less with industry people.”

“I followed this podcast since Ben Hanson took over and from all the hosts that piloted the show ever since. I likes whatever ideas the New hosts brought with them - at least they tried something. But now with Alex Van Aken (AVA) it just seems like a chore. “We are GI, we have a podcast…”. I...”Read full review »

“Loved the show with Andy and Ben but the show has taken a pretty far left turn away from games. There is a clear agenda with some of the latest guests and it has nothing to do with video games. Not unsubscribed yet but getting close.”

“Really excited for the future of the game informer pod. The first episode of the Van Aken era was great. It feels a bit more informal than when Stadnik was host and just feels like a bunch of friends sitting around cracking jokes and talking games, which I love. Also shoutout Blake, he’s the best.”

“Blake Hester makes this podcast a very frustrating experience. He seems uninspired. He prides himself on being an Edge lord. He is rude, and after listening to him he seems to not like 90% of the games he plays. Which makes me wonder. Why is he a games journalist? Seems like a bad pick on game...”Read full review »
