What’s So Special About Games?

N/A • 3 mars 2022

On this week's episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson is joined in the MinnMax studio by former Game Informer editors Jeff Cork, Joe Juba, and Ben Reeves! Ben Reeves just announced that he's leaving Game Informer after 15 years to become a narrative designer at Firaxis. In this episode we share way too many old stories from Game Informer and also talk about what compels us to play games in the first place. Why can't we stop playing Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West? We also share our review thoughts on Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5, Sony provided the code. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and leaving a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
