Resonance: Giant Monster in Wait

Video from Youtube user: gmaster2647 The Duck was listening to some music from a most beautiful game, “Okami”, and when I heard this one song, I immediately knew it needed its own Resonance post.  This song, called “Giant Monster in Wait”, had quite an impact on me when I first played the game, and it…

Resonance: In the Darkness

Video from Youtube user: BrawlBRSTMs3 Hatm0nster was kind enough to let me use his “Resonance” idea, where, if you haven’t yet read these delightful posts, he discusses a particular song from a video game that stands out to him.  I have the same love for video game music, as the right music can bring you…

Is a Game Bad Just Because It’s Different?

I have been hearing rather often over the years a lot of people saying that a game is terrible because it is different from other games in its respective series, such as the belief that “Final Fantasy XIII” and “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” are bad games because they stray from the expected.  I…

Hello, everyone.  We have just begun a new page entitled Creative Pack that will list links to a variety of other game-related sites, including links to fan art and fan fiction accounts, development diaries, podcasts, etc.  (It’s like an expansion pack filled with awesome links and, of course, a nougat center.)  This will be a…
