If you guys could pick any developer to make a new game for an existing franchise, what game and which developer would you choose?
For example: a Mario game made by Ubisoft or a Zelda game made by Naughty Dog.
Loving the show guys, thanks and keep up the good work!

this question is inspired from a Talking Comics question asked on the podcast, pick your top 2-3 video game characters and what would their Theme song be?
Here's mine 1. Cast of Borderlands (Borderlands Series) Ch-Check It Out by The Beastie Boys 2. Capt. Shepard (Mass Effect Series) The Trooper by Iron Maiden 3. The Courier (Fallout: New Vegas) Wasteland by 10 Years

The Courier (Fallout: New Vegas) Wasteland by 10 Years You totally get points just for mentioning the band 10 Years. I haven't thought about them in forever! I loved their first two albums when first they hit. You've actually compelled me to check out their newest album Minus the Machine. It's a hell of a lot better than Feeding the Wolves.

This is going to get old for me but I repeatedly can't remember who mentioned it about playing Disney Infinity. What do you think of the tease of Stage 2.0 which looks like Avengers characters are being released?

This happened some time ago but with the leak that was quickly removed of a pre order for Star Wars Battlefront on Xbox One and no pre order for Playstation or PC do you think perhaps MS is working on possibly getting this as an exclusive? I'm not currently sold on an Xbox One, there isnt an exclusive on there at the moment thats pushing me to buy it but if they do indeed get Battlefront as an exclusive I would indeed buy one the day the game came out.

Loving the podcast everyone, great addition to the family. For my question, from the games you've played, what game has had the most mindbending conclusion or premise? I'm not a huge gamer, but Bioshock Infinite's plot and ending really affected me. That game left me thinking and pondering afterward more than many books or movies.
Thanks again for the great show!

Hey man, thanks so much for your kind words. We'll be sure to save this question for next week's show when I'm back at the helm. We're so glad you're enjoying the show. We're hoping to only make it better a we move forward. Cheers!

Hey guys love the show, I was just wondering how you feel about games that offer bonus items at different price points when released? Are you willing to spend the extra $20 for exclusive in game items and bonuses? have you ever done this before?
And have you ever went the next step and bought the "legendary" editions of games in the $100+ range that come with bonus figures/features/artwork etc?

Hey guys, love the show! I posted this elsewhere but I'll shorten it up. I loved the old platforming games like video games like X-Men for the Genesis, Aladdin and Super Star Wars for SNES. Mario of course is king, but I'm curious what are some of your old school 16 bit era platformers? I saw at E3 a trailer for Ori and the Blind Forest and I have to say I was amazed. It looked amazing, everything from the story to the fact that its one long contentious level that averages around 10 hours of game play. I'll post a trailer here. Also I want to mention No Man's Sky... my God that looks fantastic!

Do you guys on the podcast (or anyone in the forum) have any recommendations for single-player games to play with a significant other?
A little backstory: My wife and I play only co-op games together where we're both on the same team (it helps because it puts her stress level at ease knowing she's not competing) but we've pretty much run through the catalog of notable titles to play. We've gone through both Left 4 Dead games, both Borderlands, all the Halo games, all of Gears of War, etc. Now I'm thinking about trying to have us play a single-player game that is exciting for one person to watch while the other person plays. Ideally, I would like us to switch off playing, so it can't be something that's too difficult (though I think she could handle it). But it also has to be engaging. I've tried playing The Walking Dead with her and she gets bored by the lack of action. As you can see by the games we've played, she enjoys shooters.
So what do you think would be a good fit for my current situation? Mass Effect? Uncharted? Something else entirely? (We have a PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U)

So what do you think would be a good fit for my current situation? Mass Effect? Uncharted? Something else entirely? (We have a PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U) Hey! I run into this all the time with my fiancee. She played games in her youth and still proclaims Super Mario Bros. 3 as her favorite, but since that era, she really hasn't played anything and isn't overly interested, though occasionally she'll play with me since she knows I love it so much. Be very thankful your wife gets into sci-fi shooters! I wish I was as lucky. So, games I found that worked pretty well: 1) Puzzle games, even single player games are great. Get one with good atmosphere and it's even better. Games like Limbo and Braid were perfect since one person controls the character while the other one is engaged with trying to help solve the puzzles. You work together to figure it out. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons would be another one. Incredible story. Gameplay-wise, they're nothing special, but everything else makes up for it and really, all three could be considered works of art. 2) Like racing games? I found racing games are perfect for trading off between players since you really need repeated plays get to know tracks and beat them. I do this with a buddy of mine constantly going through single player campaigns to unlock cars. Good fun and VERY engaging. Personally, I only enjoy arcade racers. Burnout, NFS, Blur, Motorstorm, Midnight Club: LA just to name a few. 3) You didn't mentioned platformers, but games like Rayman (Origins and Legends) are amazing and co-op. If you haven't played them, check them out. Also, Tomb Raider: Guardian of Light is a great two player game with lots of challenges. There's an incredible number of couch co-op games for Xbox live. 4) Though I did trade off playing Super Mario RPG on the Wii with my girl, I personally think most RPGs are tough unless the story is REALLY excellent. No one wants to watch someone else go through their inventory or assigning skill points. Adventure games could be okay. Again, I'd stick to the ones that put an extra level of effort into the story and narrative... something like Broken Age. Or if you haven't played them... the Monkey Island series. (if you haven't played older LucasArts games... you really should do that regardless... Day of the Tentacle is incredibly good... and the story/humor/puzzles are enough to keep non-players interested.) 5) Another good style of game to trade off on would be ones with multiple, distinct levels... for example, Bangai-O Missile Fury for Xbox Live. It's 2D PURE action... made by Treasure (best in the business for this type of game). What makes it a great trade-off game is that there's 40-something distinct levels and they're fairly hard. If you die, pass the controller. If you beat the level, pass the controller. Makes going back and forth quick and the action is ultra-intense in that game. 6) Last thing I'll say is don't forget about the plethora of "light-gun" games for the Wii. That system really excelled with them and most were co-op. No one really talks about light gun games anymore, but they're really great with the wii-mote. Dead Space Extraction was built for the Wii and was a perfect example of how good those type of games could be. There's at least 4-5 others that I'd recommend as well.... though one of them is NOT Mad Dog McCree. My god that game was horrible. Hope that helps... BTW - I also found The Walking Dead to be boring.
