Top 5: Ambient Soundtracks in Games

Let’s face it. The world as we know it today—2020 and then some—is a very stressful place.

Unforgettable: The Final Boss of Yoshi’s Island

It is always a shame when one of our favorite gaming franchises either dies or is reduced to a shadow of its former self.  Not long ago, Hatm0nster published a post on how he was finally done with the Paper Mario franchise (as am I), due to the sad fact that the series has lost…

I Just Don’t FEEL Like it…

Tell me if this feels at all familiar: I’ve been sitting here for the past couple of weeks trying to figure out what to play next. I’ve dabbled in games here and there, stuff like Fall Guys and Destiny 2, but I haven’t yet found a game that I really want to play. Meanwhile, I’ve…
