Yes, it's another lonely man episode of The Bender. With everybody else giving thanks on this weekend eating and watching football, Mike goes at it by himself (that sounded funny). 12 minutes of video game news and lots of "ummms" .. let us all pray that Allison and James make a speedy return. Enjoy!

Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.
If the Nintendo Switch wants to avoid becoming the next Wii U, they should make sequels to these underrated Wii games immediately.
Is revisiting Excite Truck worth your time?
