Is 2023 Gaming's Greatest Year?

On this week's episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Kelsey Lewin and Jeff Marchiafava to talk about the fantastic remake of Star Ocean: The Second Story R, the surprising new Robocop game, and to share more thoughts on WarioWare: Move It before Jason Guisao joins the show to talk about being let go from Bungie and how he's hoping to apply his writing skills to another game studio in the future. Then we talk about 2023 overall and how the incredible year in gaming compares to the greatest video game years of all time. Oh, and Ben finally got to play PianoVision in VR so he talks about that. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
