I am relieved that it’s finally time for the weekend, because I desperately need to unwind on the couch with some video games. It’s been an exciting (but very busy) week over here at Game Informer. We finally launched international print subscriptions, meaning you can get physical issues of our magazine in 40 new countries. We also launched a Game Informer app on iOS and Android, and we’ve got plans for updates over the coming weeks to add new features and smooth out any rough edges. Yesterday, Rockstar revealed the first official look at Grand Theft Auto VI, and it’s shaping up to be as huge as we expected. But most of all, it’s the week of Gamescom: most of our editorial team is overseas in Germany running the official Game Informer booths, mingling with games industry folks from around the world, and taking lots of appointments to see games. We saw The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, Control Resonant, and more: you can see the whole rundown of our most notable demos here.
It’s a lot, but luckily for us, there’s an easy solution for the fatigue of a busy work week: video games. Here’s what you should be playing this weekend.
