But did Game Informer’s weird four-voice feature review system capture all the excitement at release? *if you didn’t have a PC capable of playing first-person shooters online, that is. Did Game Informer’s review capture the skepticism Aidan and Ty had of it at the time? Longtime EIC Andy McNamara’s letter from the editor takes shots at other magazines that allegedly don’t really play the games they’re reviewing, and we dig deep into who he could possibly have been talking about. We also shared our best, brightest memories of that “new console smell,” the console acquisition and unboxing experiences that have stuck with us most. As always, streamed this recording session live to FunFactor ULTRA members–so if you’d like to get in on the fun, just sign up at https://funfactorpod.com/ !
