This game was secretly pretty good. I didn't love it, but I liked it enough!

My mind is currently in the process of being blown here.

I just discovered that not only did Donkey Kong Country 3 on GBA have a completely new soundtrack, but that it was done by David Wise, the dude responsible for DKC and DKC2. DKC3's soundtrack wasn't so hot, especially compared to the other two games, but from what I'm hearing of this GBA one I can't believe it. This has to be the first time a remake of a game has gotten completely NEW music, not just enhanced versions of the original tracks.

I don't know if you have bought the game or not, but I highly suggest you do. I have been playing the shit out of the game since I bought it and I love it. The music is great, I like to beat the shit out of large crowds are enemies, and the little references to the games we grew up playing are awesome too. If you really like the soundtrack like I do, it only cost $5.99 in the Amazon MP3 store. They also have dlc for $1.99 but its just 2 extra game modes, Battle Royale (I think its just 2-4 players beating the mess out of each other through local multiplayer), and dodge ball. I haven't played the dodge ball yet but I bet its like the Kunio-Kun version, or at least inspired by it.

So many good ones in Nier.

edit: Found some awesome remixes on youtube. I don't know if this remix album is official or what, but it's awesome.

Have no idea why this popped into my head today, but I still enjoy it:

Wild ARMS had a kick ass soundtrack.

Nice. I bought that game again mainly for the nostalgia, and the music is a big part of that.

Working on some Contra art for the short and decided to download the Shattered Soldier OST. First time I listened to it in years and holy fuck it's as awesome as ever.

This still might be the most bad ass game I ever played in my entire life.

Of course these tracks are even cooler when your snow boarding down a mountain with a flame thrower, chasing and destroying a train made out of meat, blasting a human fish in the face, and motocycling through signs while shooting space ships the size of the enterprise out of the sky.

Maybe I shouldn't have bought Hard Corps Uprising and just played this again instead.

Battle Train is so awesome. Here's another incredibly badass game.

Love this one.

I once owned God Hand. A pity it didn't work.

At least I got Astro Boy out of it.

Don't stop searching for it. It's pure Mikami, and that's an amazing thing. It's gotta be pretty cheap for a used copy. Then again, it's probably pretty hard to find now. You can't even get it directly from Capcom anymore.

castlevania: lords of shadow has some pretty damned good music. clearly inspired by the lord of the rings films, but that's not a bad thing at all if you ask me.

Phil · **Posted:** April, 21, 2011 - 10:21am

Sit back and enjoy the shit out of this

Nate · **Posted:** April, 21, 2011 - 12:10pm

Good stuff.

Frank · **Posted:** April, 29, 2011 - 12:37am

Frank · **Posted:** April, 29, 2011 - 12:43am

I played this while playing Gears and started tearing dudes up.

I'm gonna have to replay this game soon. The music gets me pumped every time I hear it.

Phil · **Posted:** May, 12, 2011 - 1:40pm

Agreed. That one is awesome.

Frank · **Posted:** June, 8, 2011 - 5:14pm

castlevania:lord of shadow has certainly become one of my all time favs. i think i listen to it at least once a day while i work. its a great game that isnt without its flaws in spots, but the soundtrack is not one of them. great shit.
