I may not be the very best like no one ever was at it, but Pokkén Tournament is a very fun fighting game, especially if your a fan of the kid-friendly cock-fighting franchise. One problem it has, though, is that due to all the flashy moves, bright colours and hard-hitting sound effects, it’s hard to notice the pretty decent soundtrack it’s got. Take this track for example.

The Entertainment Dome Episode 11 – Why Didn’t the Eagles Fly to Treasure Planet?
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we react to the recent Pokémon GO news and talk about what we want to see in Sun & Moon, James goes on a tirade about how much he doesn’t like Shadow of Mordor and we share our opinions about the recently announced live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 4 – Hype! Hype! Hype!
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James and I are a little bit hyper as we share our experiences with the awesomeness that is Bayonetta, discuss the upcoming Ace Attorney anime and have a little bit of a rant regarding YouTube’s copyright strikes.
My VG Music Picks #20 – Skyloft (Hyrule Warriors)
If I wasn’t a Legend of Zelda fan by the time Hyrule Warriors came out, I probably would’ve been after sampling it because, my God, it looked awesome and managed to live up to said awesomeness. This included possibly the most metal soundtrack we’d ever hear in a Zelda game. Continue reading
My VG Music Picks #15 – Cloudtop Cruise (Mario Kart 8)
Mario Kart 8 has possibly got the best soundtrack of the series; partly down to the superb orchestra (I love me some orchestras). Each track lends itself so well to their respective courses and helps make them feel more alive. But for me, and no doubt many others, one of the best tracks is Cloudtop Cruise’s music.
My VG Music Picks #1 – Opening (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)
(originally posted November 28th 2014)
For reasons that I won’t explain since you probably don’t care, I’m beginning to not have as much time to write articles. But since I don’t want to break the streak of doing them weekly, I figured I’d start a recurring series of articles that are short and simple to write up; specifically, articles about some of my favourite pieces of music in video gaming. And what better way to start this off than with a track from a game released in Europe today: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Continue reading
Hyrule Warriors – The Most Metal Zelda Game Yet
(originally posted September 26th 2014)
The Dynasty Warriors series is one that may be very fun to play, but doesn’t really grab me. The setting of ancient China can really only appeal to those interested in the culture. So, what’s the best way of getting someone like me to play it? The answer: dress it all up in Legend of Zelda clothing.
I’m admittedly not the biggest Zelda fan (having only played five games in the series) but the image of Link cutting down swarms of Moblins with the grandest of spin attacks was enough to get my attention, and as more details emerged over the months, it looked more and more enticing. But now the game’s out, is it as awesome as it looks? Continue reading
GBA Games on Wii U Virtual Console – Why?
(originally posted April 11th 2014)
I’m just gonna say that the Virtual Console is possibly one of Nintendo’s best ideas. The ability to download classic games from the days when gaming was nothing more than a niche, little club is just genius. Not only does it allow gamers to relive some of their favourite titles from when they were growing up but it also introduces these classics to a new generation. The youth of today can now experience the kind of games their parents or other older relatives used to play. I myself would love to purchase more titles off the VC, having already got games like ‘Paper Mario’ and ‘Kirby 64.’
