Music Feature - December 2023

I know I wrote that title as if I do this every month, which I don’t, but I may do more in the future!

Anyway, I wanted to share some music!

Here’s a fun little dubstep-y Vectorman remix by Tickle Whiskers on soundcloud! It’s also free to download.

This track is mysterious and a bit whimsical feeling, a quiet little tune from the series of Broken Notes Albums, which are inspired by the Silent Hill Series. All broken notes albums are free to download, too!

Some great angry metal music from the band “Spite”. I recently bought an album from these guys.

Never played cyberpunk, but it’s got some great music! Some of the game’s rap songs are typical shitty sexist crap, but you can find some great electronic stuff like this.

Slipknot’s pretty well known, but if you haven’t heard this track yet, it’s a good one! I dig that intro, which sounds to be a mocking clip of some conservative buzzkill complaining about good music. Great creepy lyrics too, sung from the perspective of an infectious virus.

And now for another big tonal change! (My wife describes my music tastes as eclectic, I have to agree)

Sol Deace is a beloved game from my childhood and I always found the soundtrack beautiful and a bit haunting at times. Listening to this song, I always imagined someone having a fight to the death om the middle of a street during a snowstorm.

And lastly for this post, some great DarkSynth music by artist SurgeryHead. I’m still grateful to Hotline Miami for introducing me to such cool musical genres.

Artist Spotlights - Natalia Trepenok

Natalia Trepenok is artist who makes wonderful animal art for story books. I recall seeing some painted murals in the third S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game that even reminds me of her work!

Dead Space (Xbox 360) Review

Dead Space is a survival horror game set in - you guessed it - space! Specifically, the USG Ishimura. You'll follow protagonist Isaac Clarke as what started as a an attempt to fix up a spacecraft turns into an wonderful example of "everything that can go wrong definitely will". The story takes several twists and turns and you'll even get to venture beyond the game's central location a few times! As usual, I won't go too deep into the story because I'd like you to be able to experience it for yourself if you've never played the game! I quite it enjoyed it though, and the game created a good sense of isolated fear while also making me concerned for the safety of Isaac's few surviving crew-mates throughout the game. The combat is very intense as most of the creatures you'll encounter move in a very violent and erratic manners, and you'll want to target their weak points - usually the limbs. Thankfully, the game has a cool upgra...

Fractal Space Demo Review (Xbox One) I recently decided to start making a list of interesting looking Xbox One game demos to try out, and I figured as long as I’m trying them out, I could review them too! It might seem strange for me to be reviewing a games demo over its full release, but I can’t always afford to be buying new games, and sometimes I want to buy a game but it has DRM or it’s from a company I don’t want to give money to so I just play the free demo instead. Speaking of such -many companies won’t even put demos out for their games anymore, (or if they do it’s a limited time only DRM affair) so as a potential customer, I want to let y'all know that getting try your game before I pay for the full version greatly increases the chance of me being interested in doing so! All that said, onto my review of this charming little game demo, Fractal Space! Fractal S...
