Zig zagin’ through deep space with WipEout-esque music blasting in your ears, and acid inducing scenery that makes your eyes melt with joy. This is Futurdium EP Deluxe. But instead of racing your way through highways of the future, you are a space pilot shooting blocks. In what seems like an old video game trope rehashed into something pretty, MixedBag attempts to well….mix up the genre a bit.
Love - 60 is a series about tennis videogames.
By Omar (@siegarettes)
For whatever reason, I love tennis videogames. I don’t play or watch the sport in real life, and I only became interested in it after playing Mario Tennis 64 as a kid. Since then I’ve gone on to spend a lot of with a virtual racket and ball.
Among its contemporaries, the Virtua Tennis series is probably the quintessential modern tennis game. Originally developed for arcades, it’s one of the more accessible games in the genre.

When we talk about the best of videogame composers, the same names often get brought up. Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, Grant Kirkhope and Koh Ohtani. While those composers have rightfully earned their place, it often makes for a predictable list. A lot of talented composers tend to get lost in the mix, either due to the games they work on not feeling as monumental, or because they weren’t as well known in English speaking territories.
One of these composers would be Yuzo Koshiro. Best known for his work on the Streets of Rage series, Koshiro’s best works communicate a strong energy. There’s a momentum to a his work that carries through multiple generations of hardware.

Second Opinion by Omar (@siegarettes)
For over 25 years, Final Fantasy has always filled the ears of many with varied sounds of wonder, sadness, and happiness. There is no doubt that the talents of people such as Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta, Hitoshi Sakimoto and many others have set standard of what videogame music should be. Theatrhytm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (TRFFCC) is a game that expands on the celebration of Final Fantasy music like it’s predecessor. But this time, you might want to stick around for the encore.

Every other week I will be showcasing one album and a video game that I feel everyone should check out in their spare time. Today, those two will be a In My G4 Over Da Sea by Neutral Bling Hotel and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy

For my recommendation this week it’s the 2013 album from Franz Ferdinand, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Actions.

Remember those days back in elementary school? Where you would defend your favorite multinational corporation to the death? Be it either Nintendo, Sony or SEGA you would defend one of those entities like it was your newborn child. Now it’s 2014 and here you are in your twenties. Still bickering at one another about consoles….but instead of throwing generic schoolyard insults at each other, you’re a little girl who on a mission in the magical land of Gamindustri.

Char is one person my cousin aspires to be. I mean, who doesn’t want to grow up to ride a mech around space and drop an asteroid on a planet? I know I did…..sans the dropping the asteroid part. Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn helps me fulfill my long lived dream of riding a mech in space. Combine that with the tried and true formula of Temco Koei’s Musou franchise, and you have a match made in heaven.
