Bioshock Infinite’s OST Cockup, And How You Can Fix It
Caitlin Oram | Monday, May 20, 2013 
First, I want to make it clear that the Bioshock Infinite OST is good, and as I’ve said before, I love the OSTs composer Garry Schyman so very much. However, Irrational Games has made a mistake.
As you likely noticed during your playthrough of the game, there are a number of …
The Chrono Trigger X Jay-Z Mashup
Samer Farag | Thursday, March 21, 2013 
A new mashup has taken the videogame music world by storm in the past week. This album is “Chrono Jigga,” produced by 2-Mello. It takes Chrono Trigger songs and crosses them with lyrics by hip-hop super-star Jay-Z.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Taking my love for hip-hop and my unabashed obsession for …
Mark of the Ninja OST: The End Song is Offputting
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, March 12, 2013 
This post is kinda cheaty; to be blunt, there isn’t a lot to the Mark of the Ninja OST; they’ve only posted two songs (both below). During gameplay, you get ambiance that ranges from ominous violin and gong tones to angry taiko-sounding drums and frantic violins. During the cutscenes, for …
Spiral Knights OST: Adorably Awesome
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, March 5, 2013 
Recently I’ve been going through my old games, and I picked up Spiral Knights, a free-to-play MMO from Three Rings (yeah, the guys who do Puzzle Pirates). I was first attracted to the game b/c the artist from one of my favourite comics was the game’s lead artist, but once …
Guns of Icarus Online OST
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, February 26, 2013 
As you can probably guess, I’ve been playing a lot of Guns of Icarus Online recently, and I think it’s time I talk about the soundtrack. It’s a topic I’ve rather avoided because honestly, aside from the intro title and the battle music, I’ve never really noticed the music. I’m …
Fable OST: The Power of Nostalgia Goggles
Caitlin Oram | Wednesday, February 20, 2013 
Recently I’ve really needed comfort food, and very few game soundtracks are more comforting than that of the original Fable. When I started this post, I was trying to pinpoint why I love the soundtrack so much – I knew that a lot of its comfort comes from my nostalgia …
To the Moon OST: Disjointed Just Right
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, February 5, 2013 
“To the Moon” is one of the few games that have made me cry (in a good way). It’s an adventure RPG where you play two scientists who have been hired to alter a man’s memories on his deathbed – the idea being that he’ll have no regrets, and can …
Lume OST: Only Needs the One Song
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, January 29, 2013 
When people talk about State of Play‘s game Lume, they’re probably talking about the gorgeous paper stop-motion design; it was a finalist in the IGF for the “Excellence in Visual Art” category (but it lost to Dear Esther). Yes, visually it’s a striking, gorgeous game with an elegant plot an …
MissingNo is an Awesome VG Cover Jazz Band
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, January 15, 2013 
I’ve always liked jazz. I went through a phase in childhood where I didn’t listen to anything newer than Sinatra, and where I could sing you every Gershwin song without missing a word. While I’ve moved out of that phase and branched out with my musical tastes, I still love …
Square Enix Music Online Names Dust: An Elysian Tail Best Indie OST of 2012
Caitlin Oram | Monday, December 31, 2012 
Recently, Square Enix Music Online did a pretty extensive “Best of 2012” selection, taking a panel of judges and deciding on best Albums and Scores; Outstanding Achievements, Artists, and Productions; and Special Achievements, each for a handful of different internal categories. Right now, I’m listening to the Best Score to …
