Game Informer is an American based gaming magazine (website here) that started in 1991. It features articles, news, and strategy relevant to games and the industry and reviews new and old video games on the PC and consoles.There's a new issue every month. Each issue features previews for upcoming games, reviews of recently released games, and opinion segments.In 2010, GI started a Lets Play called Replay on their website which airs every Saturday morning. The editors play through older games and see if they stand the test of time. While originally intended to feature only the best games, they quickly developed a fondness for obscure So Bad, It's Good games. Every episode features two segments, each segment highlighting a different game. They also started Super Replay, in which they play through the whole game. Replay now has its own page.They also started a Let's Play of new games in Test Chamber. | |

Only in Florida | |
| Game Informer (Magazine) / int_25c60be7 | comment |
Only in Florida: The March 2013 issue had the Game Over segment "RPG or Florida?", in which you are given multiple weird stories and have to guess whether they happened in an RPG or in Florida. Play it here. | |

Sarcasm-Blind | |
| Game Informer (Magazine) / int_4fff0dfe | comment |
Sarcasm-Blind: Judging by the letters, readers often have trouble recognizing sarcasm, and often these letters would be answered with more sarcasm. This is most notable in the June issue. Its guaranteed that more than one person will write in complaining about fictional editor of their April Fools issues' Game Infarcer section, Darth Clark, failing to realize he's not real and the article is meant as satire. The fact that they use the same picture of him year after should be a dead giveaway. One notable example was a response to the 2015 Game Infarcer where the reader noted that she knew it was a parody but also thought it was meant seriously. Even Darth Clark couldn't figure out what the hell she was going on about. Ditto for the Sacred Cow Barbecue.invoked | |

Paperworkaholic: In the 4/06 "Game Infarcer" April Fools prank, they had a parody reviewer who listed, among his list of favorite games, "Microsoft Word" and "Paperwork." Listed among his dislikes? "Fun." | |

Four-Point Scale | |
| Game Informer (Magazine) / int_aa5d0c85 | comment |
Four-Point Scale: Averted for the most part, though played straight more recently, with very few things ever getting below a 7. Few of the games that get full reviews in the magazine, that is. Lower scores are seen more often in the many online-only reviews. | |

[Trope Name]: The April 2016 Game Infarcer has a review for a game called "(Licensed Property): Ep. 4 - (Clichéd Phrase, But With A Pun)" which pokes fun at Telltale Games for being Strictly Formula. | |

Couch Gag | |
| Game Informer (Magazine) / int_c4d09d24 | comment |
Couch Gag: While the rest of the descriptions for their review scores are always the same, the "1" rating is always something different that usually makes light of something that happened in the gaming industry within the month. For example, the August 2018 issue's says "Sorry, your global account is not visible on this platform.", seemingly a jab at how Fortnite's Epic accounts that are linked to a PSN account are barred from being used on or cross-playing with the Switch by Sony. | |
