Forum:Game Informer magazine

Anyone here read Game Informer magazine? I got a free subscription when I signed up for a membership club at GameStop, and it's really a good publication. The current issue has me happy for two reasons:

1. Appealing to me more on a personal level, the op-ed piece for the month is writtein by Donna Mei-Ling Park, hostess of a video game show called Electric Playground. I've never heard of her show, but she touches on a subject which is close to my heart: The way girl gamers (like me!) are frequently dismissed by the industry and the "boys' club." I know better than to think any of my dear fellow Zeldapedians would think less of a gamer just because she happens to be a girl -- you're all so nice to me -- but it's a sad truth that many do think that lacking a Y chromosome means you can't possibly be a serious gamer. I was so pleased by this article that I wrote to GI to thank them for printing it.

2. Now for the part that has relevance to our site. GI has a new recurring feature in which they ask, "What if...?" In this month's issue, the question is, "What if Bungie's Jamie Griesemer made the next Zelda?" Griesemer, for those who don't know, is the lead designer on the Halo series, and his ideas for a Zelda game are highly interesting to read.
