  1. It’s hard for me to pick a perfect or favorite video game soundtrack/score. The music aspect of games is really half the experience if your zoning it out while playing I think then that would I think lessen the enjoyment of said game.

    I loved JRPG scores like Crono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and Suikoden. The emotional attachment that I feel with many of the scores in those games made it that much more a memorable experience to me.

It’s the Smurfiest post-Fourth of July podcast ever, as Jonah Falcon and Jordan Lund look back at the ColecoVision classic Smurfs: Rescue from Gargamel’s Castle, probably the easiest videogame ever Smurfed.

  • Crytek says Kinect development is “really, really easy.”

If that weren’t Smurfy enough, the Question of the Week is pretty Smurfy as well, as readers are asked, “What game that you can’t find anywhere anymore do you wish you could play again?”
