There is one song that has always stuck with me, even though the first time I heard it was 15 years ago. This is the music that plays during the final hours in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, during the night of the third and final day, when the moon is lowest in the…

When the Music Misses the Mark
While playing through Xenoblade Chronicles, I’ve been reminded of the synergy between a game and its music. This game is filled with lush, harmonious, and exciting sounds that play well off of whatever stage you’re in. From music that envelopes you in sweeping plains, ponders the existence of snow-capped hills, and mourns loss in valleys…
Resonance: Cave of Bad Dreams
I have recently been in a big Rayman mood. I’ve been replaying Rayman 3, and I have also been reading a pretty great fan fic for the series called When the Tables Have Turned which I’ve been following for a good year or two now. Seriously, it’s awesome. Ahem, well, a time came when her…
Resonance: Highland
You may recall the post I wrote for the Isle of Skye theme from Quest 64, a game which manages to occupy a special place in my heart despite all its many flaws, probably thanks to a combination of nostalgia and the many, many hours I spent playing the game because I had little else…
Resonance: Isle of Skye
After Jacob’s Resonance post on the Dark Jungle from Jurassic Park 2 (the game, not the movie, silly people), he got me thinking about songs I have enjoyed from games that aren’t super great, and the first game that sprang to mind was Quest 64. I believe I had written posts on the game before,…
Resonance: Temple of Light
Riding the coattails of Hatm0nster’s post on Fable II from earlier in the week, it reminded me of one of the most lovely songs I’ve ever heard in a video game, and my most favorite song from the Fable series: the “Temple of Light” theme.
Resonance: Scorch ‘n’ Torch
I know I’ve said this before, but I wasn’t a big fan of Donkey Kong Country Returns. I thought it was too difficult, and it didn’t stand up to the high expectations I had of a new entry to an old series I used to love. Well, I have since grown somewhat fond of the…
Resonance: The End of the World
Video from Youtube user: Video Game Soundtracks A little while ago, I wrote about a song called “Night of Fate” from “Kingdom Hearts”, and today, I will be discussing another song that stuck with me from this game, the music that plays in the End of the World. The song is also found at the…
Resonance: Night of Fate
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: 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…
