On this week’s episode of\u00a0The Game Informer Show,<\/em>\u00a0we do something a little bit different. Instead of talking about all the games we’ve been playing recently, we look back over the year and talk about some of our favorite overlooked gems, such as: Chicken Police<\/a>, Manifold Garden<\/a>, Creaks<\/a>, UnderMine<\/a>, Gears Tactics<\/a>, Monster Sanctuary<\/a>, Necrobarista<\/a>, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure<\/a>, Huntdown<\/a>, Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, Sakura Wars<\/a>, Call of the Sea<\/a>, The Last Campfire<\/a>, Ikenfell<\/a>, Monster Train<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then we revisit The Game Award winners and settle a\u00a0bet. Then, we\u00a0take some time for another\u00a0fantastic round of community emails. Finally, we close out the show with\u00a0Alex Stadnik and Alex Van Aken who talk about their hands-on time with\u00a0Turtle Rock Studios’ upcoming 4-player zombie shooter Back 4 Blood. So please join Kim Wallace, Dan Tack, Marcus Stewart, Alex Stadnik, and myself for another wild and ever-entertaining episode!<\/p>\n
