So I was listening to XC3’s OST and geez, some of these battle themes are amazing. Made me pretty compelled to start a VGM thread. Then I remembered about this thread and thought it would be a nice idea to revive it. Enjoy this huge dump of nice, kick-ass music from recent games (for the most part)! They really enhance their respective games. I’ll do another one soon.
I had a gaming party with friends a few months ago with 3 generations of Xboxes and 2 generations of PlayStation setup. We’re all in our 40s, most of us married with kids so everyone was down for classic fighters and 2 wheel Gran Turismo split screen action. NBA Jam 360, 5 player TMNT Shredders Revenge, we all gravitated towards classic inspired games.
Everything was multiplayer for the most part. But one of my friends noticed the icon for the ID@Xbox game Donut Dodo which had its demo released for a limited time late last year. It’s a single player arcade game and it slowly took over the whole evening. We took turns trying to make it further than the last person. The difficulty took us back to the earliest arcade games we played back in the day.
Its soundtrack took over the whole room and the entire OST is great. I fell in love with the Bloodstained chip tune soundtrack and this is right up there.
And being as old as we were, we dug the music as much as the gameplay. This game took us to our earliest gaming memories in the arcades and this music made the experience complete. I don’t know when the game is out but it’s a must buy for me. When I see the graphics of the game, I think “fun” and the music is no different.
