Video from Youtube user: Merhawk102 “Kingdom Hearts” is one of my favorite series of all time, with the ingenious blend of Disney, “Final Fantasy”, and original elements, not to mention the fact that these games are some of the most beautiful and emotional games I’ve ever played. And so it stands to reason that, when…

Resonance: Sinister Shadows
The music for Kingdom Hearts covers a wide spectrum of emotion and tone. It’s whimsical, charming, exuberant, forlorn, sinister, and just about everything else in between. The common factor to all of it however, is that it’s always dramatic. In each case it has a sense of grandeur and wonder that few, if any, other games…
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: Light and Darkness
In many ways The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was exactly the game many of us fans had asked for after the bright and cartoony entry in the series that was The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker. It had more realistic graphics, the dual-world mechanic from A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time,…
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…
Resonance: The Forest Temple
The music of The Legend of Zelda is home to many of gaming’s most popular pieces of music, and for good reason. Zelda music has a certain inexplicable charm to it, that no other series has been able to accomplish on such a consistent basis. All of it is catchy to a degree, but it…
Resonance: Mako Reactor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nswfLcROs-0 Anyone who’s played Final Fantasy VII knows the Mako Reactor theme. While it did not attain the widespread popularity and acclaim that “One-Winged Angel” did, it is still one of the most easily recognizable pieces of music to come out of the Final Fantasy series. We all know why it’s a good theme, we…
Resonance: Remember Me
Remember Me is a perfect example of wasted potential. It’s not bad game nor awesome, just average. I’m normally not bothered by a game being average, but this one is different. It could have been so much more than it was, had it just been given a little more time to grow. This week’s selection…
Resonance: Rundas Battle
The Metroid games are quite rich in memorable themes, so much so in fact that we could spend the next several months of this series analyzing them. Perhaps we will, but for now let’s start with “VS. Rundas” from Metroid Prime 3. To begin, please take a minute to listen to the theme. Think about…
