Living through the old generation of gaming consoles up to this point reminds why I love to play videogames. From the first time playing CastleVania and listening to the epic first stage song for the very first time gave me chills, I kept repeating the first stage over and over again until my GameBoy’s battery died on me over and over again. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it again now .
When you feel like buying a game and you listen to some epic music in the trailer, does that justify purchasing the game? Do you keep listening to it over and over and over again for hours until you remember every part of it? Do you pretend to air-drum/guitar/violin while hearing it? Do you search for that song in the background and troll sites/Google searches for a hint of what song is playing in the background? In this feature article we shall talk about the games that we loved to play for it’s awesome and epic 8-bit retro music as well as current iterations of how the music evolved. How sometimes purchasing a game just from watching a trailer and loving the music in it. This is a collab of tasteful music in videogames written by your 3 masters. So kick back, put on a nice pair of headphones on your ears and prepare to hear some of the best and worst music to come since Le~Olden Days and how some tracks will actually make it or break it in case of buying a game. Enjoy!

Simply wow!. You guys are going to love this one. There are times on the internet that rise above the mundane and ordinary. Those get into the news maybe, sometimes it spreads across the Twitter or the Facebookz. But, once in a great while, an event takes place that requires a monument to be erected for it… for all the interwebz to remember it by. My friends, this is the story of Ocean Marketing and how they became a MEME!
Christopher’s moments of 2011:
———————————————————————————————————-
All over the Internet, gaming journalists are proposing the idea that 2011 may indeed be the greatest year in video game history. It’s hard to argue against that point – just look at the releases we’ve seen in the last month. Uncharted 3. Skyrim. Skyward Sword. Modern Warfare 3. Super Mario 3D Land. I can’t think of a time that my wallet has ever begged louder for mercy.
With all of those new games swarming the market, it may not be so easy to remember that December followed 11 consecutive months of fantastic releases. There were a lot of sequels, prequels, re-makes, and nostalgic experiences to be had – but there were also some incredibly unique and unforgettable moments as well. In case you forgot about them, here are 11 of the moments I’ll never forget from 2011 – MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! (Spoilers are hidden with clickable tags that will unhide them, you are warned.. don’t click unless you want to possibly spoil some game elements.) Keep in mind that some of your favorites may be missing – I haven’t gotten a chance to play everything, after all:
“I used to be an adventurer just like you, then I took an arrow to the knee”
How many times have you read that meme and just wanted to kill yourself? Seriously It’s been done to death and now even hearing it during gameplay I wanted to shove an arrow in my ears just so I won’t have to listen to it, but that’s just me. The same person who barely slept more than 3 hours a day and became a troll hiding under my blanket trying to achieve the 100% Platinum trophy for this game. In other words if you value your life, your family & friends, your health then don’t ever buy this game, EVER! It will take over your life because of how good it is. So without further ado, let’s get this review on the road, Arrow in the knee style~
”ReverEND Note: This game was played over all 3 platforms by 3 separate players. Each one will pinpoint some of the finer details that each version offers or some downfalls that one platform may have over another.”
 
Mario Kart, excuse my language, was my shit! When it was first introduced on the SNES back in the day, I remember my friends and I renting it.. playing non-stop, and eventually buying or getting it as a gift and from there mastering every course, trying to beat each others best lap and course times over and over again. I think my ol’ cart still has our best times in it (unless the battery died, of course.) I still hold the top lap time on Mario Circuit with Bowser. (Eat it, everyone else!) From that point on we were hooked on Mario Kart. When the N64 version came out, it happened all over again. That version is held high as the greatest iteration of the series EVER. While other Mario Karts have come around, the N64 version is the cart to rule them all. For every system Nintendo releases, 3 things are inevitable. There will be a Zelda game, there will be a Mario game, and there will be Mario Kart! unlike the 1st two’s continued quality and balance, the Mario Kart series has lost a lot of it’s shine and steam to over simplification, over balancing, and Nintendos attempts and making the game work for absolutely everyone, from the completely mentally handicapped to the extreme addict who should be winning every race.
Does this newest entry sway the series’s trend of mediocrity and give the King of the Kart (N64 version) a run for it’s money?
