In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, the crew dives into reports of several Xbox studios at risk of closure from Microsoft, including (but not limited to) Compulsion Games, Double Fine Productions, and Ninja Theory. After the 30-minute discussion, host Alex Van Aken and Brian Shea discuss the awkward timing of our new Halo: Campaign Evolved cover story before diving into exclusive details about Xbox's upcoming release. Finally, we round out Game Informer's weekly gaming podcast with a quick indie game recommendation: Meccha Chameleon, a hide-and-seek asymmetrical multiplayer title with an amazing texture painting tool for camouflaging yourself from hunters.
