Distant Worlds isn’t so distant
At the beginning of the week, Square Enix announced that they would be conducting a new world tour in honor of the 20th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy release. The new tour, “Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY” will feature music from all the numbered games up to XI (excluding X-2). To keep from [...] -
J is for Just Released
There are few game characters that amass a huge cult following without having to do anything. The most recent, and one of my favorite (non)characters is simply a box. More specifically, it’s a Weighted Companion Cube. For fans of the game Portal –released as one of the many titles included in Valve’s recent Orange Box– [...] -
I is for Inching closer to release
Tuesday is the launch of the game every Halo fan has been waiting for since they threw their controllers in disgust at the ending of Halo 2; Halo 3. As much as I don’t want to be excited about it, I am. There is something about the Halo series that has a hold of me [...] -
H is for Holy Crap, more Kingdom Hearts!
Today was the first day of the Tokyo Game Show and Square Enix came out swinging with the announcement of not one, but three new Kingdom Hearts titles. All the games are hand-held, covering the range of major platforms (DS, PSP, Mobile) and the time-line as well. The DS title, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (read [...] -
G is for Games and Gears.
One of my favorite parts of some of the games I own is the nostalgic feel I get from them. Most of the games I own that are over 5 years old are still in my collection for sentimental value. Whether it’s the first Final Fantasy I ever played or a Super Nintendo game I [...] -
F is for Final Fantasy?
Before we get on to the music, I want to say something in regards to the current generation of consoles. I’ve been playing video games for a long time. I remember when I received my first NES when I was a little kid and playing games like Super Mario, Rygar, Paperboy, and other classics. With [...] -
Because remixes are always better, right?
Today the guys at OC Remix released their epic four disc remix album dedicated to the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream. Featuring remixes of 45 of the original 86 tracks (lasting a total of 3:26), OCR’s ninth album is not one to be missed. The quality of the remixes [...] -
E is for Egotistical.
One thing I want to make perfectly clear is my dislike of “Ego Gamers.” These are people who only play games they are good at, and only play to boost their own ego. You may have run into these types before. Whenever you’re at a party or a friend’s house and people are playing games, [...] -
D is for Dead? I don’t think so!
As it’s been a while since my last post and there are many things that have happened, I’m just going to start fresh. I am a fan of System Shock 2. A very big fan. Since I am a fan, I was more than excited when Bioshock was announced. I waited, almost patiently, for the release [...] -
C is for Carpal Tunnel.
I’ve decided to make my next post on the very next day, since I need to make up for all that time I lost. Aside from that, I’ve added something new to the blog which I think will be a nice, welcomed addition. Now, below the mp3 link, will be a flash media player which [...]
