Numerous people in Game Informer's community sent in requests for complete Super Replay playthroughs of the first two games in the Shenmue series. They caved in and started playing the first hour of Shenmue, being a first hands-on experience for one of their staff, Kyle Hillard, and if we all show enough interest they will continue their journey through both Shenmue games until the end. It's our chance to hype this game through a gaming outlet besides Gametrailers, and so let's show our support!
PS. They have only one rule for the show: No talking over the cutscenes.
