Weekly Game Music: Title Screen (Animal Crossing)
New week, new music. Here’s yet another piano composition from the famed Nintendo music composer, Kazumi Totaka. The calm, jazzy Title Screen music is quite appropriate for this laid back game, Animal Crossing. The story behind Animal Crossing is very simple, if lacking. You (yes, you) decide to leave home and travel to a town full of animals. As you…

Weekly Game Music: Soaring In The Stars (Flight)
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,…
