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!
Lets start out with why game tailors are so important, and there’s one word, marketing. If you make a game, your going to want to make it known, add hype, and increase overall sails, In most cases, if said game sells well, there will be a sequel, Equaling more of a fan base and even more profit. below is a video of what was acceptable in its time, full of wacky noises, kids cussing, and just having fun, appealing to the 90′s generation.
And now, lets get to business, and see what that wacky commercial has evolved into.
We’ve all heard the vicious lie. “Video games are useless forms of passing time.” They wag a finger at us. They tell us that continuing to play said video games will render us hostages, slipping into the depths of a mind numbing abyss, in which, we will vegetate until our skin peels off and our eyes bug out.
Wait a minute. Since when was exercising your prefrontal cortex a bad thing?

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.

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:
This year, followed by the past, has come with the infamous “special edition” branded in bright golden lettering across the cover, making them as eye catching and desirable as possible, but what are you really getting? and is it all really worth it? and how has it evolved from the simple slightly altered version of the original, to a $2oo dollar investment.
