This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsq5ESIQgc Another week, another remix. This week it is a chilled drum 'n' bass version of Lisa's theme from Silent Hill. It adds a layer of beats under the main theme, and adds extra little flourishes here and there, but doesn't stray too far from the original, which is…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85cyCOwBtcU Today's remix is from Breath of Fire III - The Cedar Woods - and it's a really chilled exploration of the original, for sure.

I think this was also for some kind of Gamesradar Games Guru competition. "The Street Fighter saga may have gone on and on, but in my mind, Street Fighter Alpha 2 was the zenith, the epitome, the finest one on one versus fighting game in history. Capcom stuck to its "if it ain't broke, don’t fix it" strategy, and merely…

Posted inInternet, VideogamesNo Comments

For the first and second quarters of 2005, I quite possibly overstretched myself and made the charts too unwieldy to continue. As well as PS2, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, PC and Xbox games, I also included several retro consoles such as the Sega Saturn and the Nintendo Entertainment System.

In what is turning into a weekly moan about the people who live in this house with me, I'm getting used to not having any privacy at all any more. It seems like every five minutes I'm being visited by a small child who comes in and moans and cries when I tell him "I'm playing a game which involves…
