Ragnarok Rules, Gotham Knights Fails, Xenoblade Needs Love
Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Jacob Geller, Janet Garcia, and Kyle Hilliard to talk about the first five hours of God of War: Ragnarok without spoiling any story details. Then Jacob Geller unloads his thoughts on Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and he and Kyle try to share their odd appreciation of Scorn. Jeff Marchiafava joins the show as we all talk about Gotham Knights from Warner Bros. Montreal and why it misses the mark. Then Kelsey Lewin jumps on to rave even more about Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and talk about the history of Ms. Pac-Man. After that, we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
