In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Hudson finally sit down to discuss a Star Trek game. There have been many Star Trek games over the last few decades, but for this first episode of Trektember, they’ll be discussing the game from 2013 that bridges the gap between the Star Trek films that J. J. Abrams directed. The game was panned by critics, and didn’t win over most hard-core trekkers, but it did a great job of capturing the beloved members of the crew, especially its flagship “bro-op” duo: Chris Pine’s Kirk and Zachary Quinto’s Spock. The whole cast returns to voice their lovable new takes on the classic characters from the original series, and the writers give them a fair bit to work with considering the game is even more combat-heavy than the films that it’s based on. Rather than pinning Starfleet against the Romulans or Klingons this time around, Kirk and Spock get to go full-on commando on some especially dimwitted Gorn, which makes for a fun, albeit somewhat misguided Star Trek shoot em' up experience
