World of Goo Soundtrack up for Grabs
Kyle Gabler, co-founder of 2D boy and the composer and artist for the World of Goo; has recently released the games soundtrack for free on his portfolio page due to the overwhelming response from the fans to get their hands on a copy of it. Thank you to everyone who emailed asking about a World of Goo Soundtrack. This is probably as close to an “official” soundtrack I’ll ever mak...
Super Mario Bros. 3 drum medley
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXKN1j_vrn4[/youtube] Drummer virtuoso Andrea Vadrucci totally remasters the drum tracks in Super Mario Bros 3 while listening to them in their original 8-bit form. This makes him one of the most awesome drum medley makers around, and an obvious supporter of Super Mario Bros. 3 as the best game ever.

Another 8bit Holiday album by Dr. Octoroc
Dr. Octoroc has just recently released an 8bit Holiday album that not only features classic Christmas songs, but fully remixes them with famous NES chipset sounds. The album features various games such as Metroid, Faxanadu, Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and various other famous games.

Get with the holiday spirit 8-bit style!
If you are familiar with the 8-bit music scene then you probably have already heard this album and already know what it’s about. For those of you who don’t know much about the scene, it is basically comprised of people who feel that old school console game music is superior to everything out their is now. They continue to produce their own bleeps and bloops on the actual system hardwar...

See Mario Bros. 2 gypsy jazz played live
[youtube]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ti5f-LHp4[/youtube] Scott and I started using this awesome two-guitar version of Super Mario Bros. 2 in early Infendo Radio episodes. It is quite possibly my favorite video game remix of all time. Well here is the video of part-time musician (full-time programmer) Adrian H. recording the song. Nice.
Wii Ware’s first music title falls flat
Even the medicine colored title screen of Yudo’s “Aero Guitar” that was released on the Japanese Wii Shop Channel last week told me that the game might not really satiate my desire for a quick-quality music title to play while waiting for “Wii Music” and the pointlessly late Japan release of “Samba de Amigo.” Nonetheless I figured it would at least make fo...

Review: Groupies will love Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Everyone else? Not so much. You see, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was not intended for rhythm game fans. Maybe not even music fans. It was made for die-hard Aerosmith fans.
KORG DS-10 released today
So, you think Wii Music isn’t a game? What about AQ Interactive’s KORG DS-10 synthesizer? It’s not even pretending to be a game — you can’t even buy it at the game store! As baffled as I am by this cartridge’s limited release on Amazon.co.jp today (why wouldn’t everyone want a synthesizer on their DS?) I doubt it was to make a statement about the title&#...
