The draft is back! Matthew and Samuel compete to pick the 10 best Capcom games from the developer/publisher’s extensive and dazzling library. If you like fighting games, apologies in advance. You can vote for the winner in the pinned tweet @backpagepod on Twitter. We’ll post the full list on Twitter after a few days have passed.

This week’s music is from the Devil May Cry 5 soundtrack by Casey Edwards, Ali Edwards and Cliff Lloret, and the Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny soundtrack by Taro Iwashiro.
