Binge Gamer writes: The debate episode of The Bender. Where Mike (Xbot) offends Perry (PS3 fanboy) to the point of him leaving the show early (possibly unrelated). It is clear James has made a decision on what he will be buying now (note: he has owned both consoles, and both have broke on him in the past). Allison speaks up on plagiarism on the Internet. And we somehow go into overtime, but it's a good thing, so enjoy!

These games deserve to be remade from the ground up, or at the very least have a graphical refresh.
These are 6 classic game remakes that we want to see in 2023.

I will gladly take remasters and ports of older games, would love a remake of Link to the Past in the same style as Link's Awakening, I'd also love a remake of Super Mario RPG.
Everyone is trying the shared universe thing these days, but Marvel and Capcom were mashing up their most beloved characters decades ago. Perhaps their best crossover effort was Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, which was released on the PlayStation 2 & Xbox on Nov. 19, 2002, in North America. Previous releases took place in arcades and on Sega’s beloved but ill-fated Dreamcast console. Later releases came out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s digital storefronts.
