Ask…and you shall receive. This month, our rockers over at The Shizz deliver some sweet selections of Game Boy music via live instruments (electric guitars mostly).  The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and The Pokemon series come to mind when thinking about good Game Boy music, yet surprisingly [...]

Yes, the band is called Monkey Kong…and its members hail from Sweden. I discovered this band through OC ReMix, recently releasing their version of Donkey Kong Country’s “Aquatic Ambiance” track, appropriately named “Dolphin Ride“. Definitely one of the best interpretations of the track I’ve ever [...]

Ah, I have so many good memories about Xenogears. Squaresoft was on a role back in the PS1 era, producing many great RPGs. Xenogears was one of those games that had an awesome concept back then. It remains to be the best game ever that encompasses the whole Mecha genre: a complex story, very [...]

Never heard of The OneUps? Shame on you! They’re one of the coolest videogame bands in my opinion…mixing it up with jazz, funk, and contemporary rock influences. Thus far, they have two awesome albums out…and a third one is coming our way on the 1st of September. Unlike the previous albums, this [...]

Dwelling of Duels is back. Hope you enjoyed May’s results, which I posted details on here. As for June’s results, sadly the turnout was so poor I didn’t even bother posting a blog about it. The Triple Threat theme was a good concept but ultimately confused a lot of people. Sad, really, since the [...]
