Binge Gamer writes: What an episode of The Bender. Somehow we go from Michael Jackson to Elvis.. and find out some surprising information on "The King" (not the one of pop). Honestly, just please excuse the first 15 minutes of the show, let us blame Allison not being here and her "broken microphone" (aka alcohol, aka The Conduit). Still, we end up covering a lot of news, mostly developer/publisher stuff grabbing the headlines. So listen now to know the future of this industry, enjoy!

GF365: "Out of the many historically accurate games out there, these are our picks for the six best games that are historically accurate. While these games aren't completely accurate, they depict the times and situations of history well. Plus, they're all a lot of fun to play, too."
Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.
I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .
Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
Pitchford mentions that they're currently working on a Brothers in Arms game, but also suggests that the game is in early development.
It's been way too long. They cancelled BiA: Furious 4 to make Battleborn and look how that turned out. Though I do hope this new entry is more like the proper BiA games, rather than F4 which was basically Borderlands meets Inglorious Basterds.
FINALLY!
Please let it be true to the series. Don't wreck it like Rainbow 6. Can we get at least one tactical single player shooter with squad commands?
The Brothers In Arms series is one of the most fondly beloved World War 2 shooters ever made, but will it ever make a comeback?
Brothers in Amrs and Earned in Blood were brilliant. The amount of passion that went into them by Gearbox, who was then a young company, was incredible. The franchise just died after that which is sad. Hell's Highway just wasn't made with the same passion. And let's not talk about the cancelled BiA4, that looked so wrong on so many levels.
