    New week, new music.  I just realized haven’t introduced any music from horror games (unless Killer7 counts as a horror game), so here’s our first one from the famed British movie composer, Michael Nyman.  Last Movement is a simple composition that gives you a sense of drifting away.  A fitting music to the Sci-Fi horror game, Enemy Zero, that is…

    New week, new music.  Time to drop those remixes, and back onto original music.  Here’s a movie-like music, Soaring In The Stars by David Orr.  The title quite literally points out the objective of the free flash game, Flight. You can play Flight at its own website. Flight depicts several disgruntled figures who write their wishes on a piece of paper,…

    New week, new music.  Let’s do something completely different: introducing the spectacular internet meme, the Cheetahmen II theme song!  Cheetahmen Techno is, as its title implies, Nico Nico Douga user, 美路盆@LunchBox’s 90’s techno remix of the notoriously terrible (and unreleased!) game’s theme.  Unfortunately, the original composer for the music remains unknown due to lack of credits or licenses.  Wikipedia…

    New week, new music.  Late again this week, but I’m currently checking out SIGGRAPH 2012, and it’s quite a bit exhausting.  Anyways, lets go with something special this week.  Here’s Fredrik Larsson’s medley, Wind Waker Unplugged , which quite predictably blends together various tunes from Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.  It does great justice to the original…

    New week, new music.  What’s the absolute, most epic boss music you can ever play when you fight against your worst rival?  According to Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden , it’s Sweet Georgia Brown by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard.  …I don’t really have a good joke to follow up on that one, so I’ll let the jazzy…

    Goodness, I keep forgetting about this.  Better late than never: I’ve got yet another MMORPG music for all of you.  Here’s Above the Treetops from ultra-popular MapleStory.  Unfortunately, the name of the composer(s) seems elusive at the moment, but enjoy the mellow tune as it is. You can play the game for free at Maplestory’s website. The plot of MapleStory is…
