Author: Game Informer January 31, 2026 Duration: 1:23:19
It's a stacked episode of The Game Informer Show this week, so we've got our pal Jan Ochoa from Giant Bomb here to help break it all down. First up, Brian is back and ready to share all that he learned about 007 First Light on our latest cover story trip to IO Interactive.

Then, Jan and Wesley break down their impressions of Resident Evil Requiem after seeing the latest in Capcom's survival horror series. And lastly, Wes dives deep into Code Vein II, to unpack whether Bandai Namco's Souls-alike moves the genre forward.

It feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair with friends who happen to have their fingers on the pulse of the entire video game world. You'll hear their honest reactions to the week's biggest news, thoughtful reviews that go beyond a simple score, and discussions that can jump from a beloved classic to a hot new indie title in a single segment. The regular crew is often joined by other editors from Game Informer's staff, as well as developers and special guests who bring unique insider perspectives. Tuning into this podcast means getting a comprehensive, entertaining, and deeply informed take on the games you're playing now and the ones you'll be excited about tomorrow. It's a consistent weekly check-in for anyone who wants to stay connected to the broader culture and business of gaming, all delivered with a blend of expertise and genuine enthusiasm that makes the industry feel a little smaller and a lot more interesting.
