Episode 005 – Awesome Licensed Games, Evil Paul Reiser, Disney vs Capcom, Comics, 7Up

Mark and Sebastian. Awesome? Licensed Games. Awesome. Paul Reiser. Awesome. Disney. Awesome. Capcom. Awesome. CPS2. Awesome. Teenage Mutant Ninja AWESOME Turtles. Marvel. Awesome. James Bond. Awesome. X-Men. Awesome. AWESOME. AWESOME.

We pick out our favorite licensed games and reminisce about days when they weren’t tied to movie release dates. Seeing a game attached to something we love was a dream come true, and not a transparent cash in. We lose all sense of vocabulary, as Capcom’s handling of the Marvel license reduces our adjectives to “awesome,” and we kind of nail down what really makes a licensed game sing.
