#WeeklyGameMusic: Time Unfolds (Arrangement 1) (Birthdays the Beginning)
Allow time to fly by in this week’s #WeeklyGameMusic with the relaxing track, Time Unfolds (Arrangement 1) by Takayuki Nakamura. It’s the most common song that plays while playing TOYBOX Inc. & Arc System Works’ sandbox game, Birthdays the Beginning: a bizarre simulation about birthing new animals and species through terraforming. The music matches nicely…

MANYO’s track, Glass Moon was, as this writer understood it, originally composed with lyrics in mind; however, this writer…

Back to them classics! This week’s #WeeklyGameMusic is from Insomniac Games’ classic, Ratchet & Clank. Planet Novalis: Tobruk Crater, composed by David Bergeaud, merges together action, thrills, and a little bit of swing to create a unique track like no other. Come take a listen: Ratchet & Clank stars a humanoid feline creature named Ratchet,…
