The Gamerheads Podcast

Send us a text

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast. Mike and Phil are back and this week, we delve into the legacy of Game Informer magazine, a cornerstone of gaming journalism for over three decades. Phil gets personal, sharing heartfelt memories of the Game Informer team’s dedication and camaraderie. Reflecting on its shutdown, we explore the uncertain future of beloved gaming institutions like GameStop and the broader implications for the industry. The emotional toll on staff and the impact on game journalism quality become focal points of our discussion.
We also discuss the games we are playing. From rediscovering NCAA Football’s thrilling gameplay to reviewing the quirky language-learning RPG Terra Alia, our gaming discussions are as diverse as they are enthusiastic.
