  • #WeeklyGameMusic: Blue Sky Town – Dol Dona (.hack//G.U.)

    #WeeklyGameMusic: New week, new music. Today’s track is Blue Sky Town – Dol Dona, composed by Chikayo Fukuda. It’s a pleasant town music from Bandai Namco’s mega-long multi-media series, .hack, specifically, the .hack//G.U. trilogy. Before there was Sword Art Online (SAO), there was .hack. That’s right, this game, manga, and anime series all takes place…

  • #WeeklyGameMusic: Ryoshima Coast (Okami)

    #WeeklyGameMusic: New week, new music. This time, we visit ancient Japan from this brilliant piece from Okami. Make way for the epic music, Ryoshima Coast by Hiroshi Yamaguchi!

Shadow…

  • Weekly Game Music: Morning, Thinker (Armored Core series)

    New week, new music.  Lets explore yet another genre I haven’t explored yet: mecha combat.  Here’s a remix of Silent Line: Armored Core and Armored Core 4 music, Morning, Thinker by Mattias Häggström Gerdt and Deia Vengen.  It’s an aggressive techno, best depicting the chaotic, yet strategical nature of piloting a bipedal tank. The Armored Core series revolves around power-hungry corporations frequently throwing war…

  • Weekly Game Music: Some Like it Red Hot (Viewtiful Joe)

    New week, new music. This week’s music is Some Like it Red Hot, baby!  Two cool dudes, Masakazu Sugimori and Masami Ueda, manage to capture the exciting and flashy nature of a city.  It best fits the rad superhero action game, Viewtiful Joe. Viewtiful Joe, is, like, an action game about a stupid nobody named Joe.  The loser…
