Remembering classic video game soundtracks
I’ve been having a bit of a nostalgia high at the moment thanks to that Stunts entry I posted a few days ago… and there’s nothing wrong with that because it let’s us remember an era that will never come again.
Frank Klepacki may not be as well known to most as say, Koji Kondo or Harry Gregson-Williams, however fans of the Command & Conquer series should know him well. But to me, he is most remembered as the composer of one of my favourite DOS games from back in the day… Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty.
What we want from Pokémon Black and White
A lot of us are gripped with a bit of Pokémon fever with the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Nintendo has just accelerated things with the announcement of Pokémon Black and White for the Nintendo DS…
Initial reactions to this news don’t seem to be as positive as you’d think. Sure, it’s great to have a new generation of Pokémon games, however from seeing comments from around the net, it’s clear that a lot of people would prefer to have the series debut on the Nintendo 3DS so it can take advantage of whatever new features the new system will provide.
So what do people want from the 5th generation?
You wouldn’t download a car… would you?
I’m trying to get at least four entries in this month to make this place more active. It’s difficult to try to come up with topics to post up but other times you just ask yourself a simple question and then suddenly a whole entry springs from that one question.
As many of you in the community already know, I recently bought myself a Sony Vaio P netbook… so, naturally, just like everyone else I installed all of the usual programs and set it up the way I like it and have my perty wallpaper and everything all there. Along with those other things, I came to a point where I eventually put ZSNES onto it. The main reason I did this, was so I could have a portable copy of Super Metroid.
But then I stopped for a moment and suddenly asked myself. I do own a copy of Super Metroid of Wii Virtual Console, but does that make it right for me to download a ROM version of it and put it on my Vaio P?
Vidya of 2009
It’s been a really interesting year for me, partly because this year in 2009, I have bought more video game than I have for the previous 3 years combined *thinks* I’m pretty sure, that’s just an estimate, but it sounds about right. Either way, a lot of games were bought and played and now that it’s extremely close to 2010, it’s time to have a look back at the year that was.
2009 has been an awesome year for me. Back in 2008 I managed to get a PS3 for free and also bought a 360 elite during end of 2008. This meant that going into 2009 I had access to a DS, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 (if you only count the current generation line-up). This meant that I had a lot of opportunity to play a hell of a lot of different kinds of video games.
