In this week’s episode of The Game Informer Show,<\/em> we discuss a handful of the games we’ve been playing recently, including Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/a>, Kentucky Route Zero<\/a>, Demon’s Souls<\/a>, and Pumpkin Jack<\/a>. Then, we interview Josh Tsui, the director of the documentary Insert Coin<\/a>, which chronicles the success of Midway during its arcade heyday, which saw the release of games like Narc, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, and Smash TV. It’s a full show, but we make time for another fantastic round of community emails in there somewhere. So please join Blake Hester, Liana Ruppert, Alex Stadnik, and myself for another wild and ever-entertaining episode!<\/p>\n
