Resistance: Burning Skies: The Kotaku Review 
Harley Quinn's Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City's Bad New Ending Last year, we were honoured to premiere the London Philharmonic’s album of video game music here at Kotaku. The esteemed ensemble is planning a follow-up album, and they’ve asked us to ask you to help them pick one of the songs that they’ll record. Whaddya say?
Music fans rejoice, today saw the release of a couple of melodious treats with which to massage your ear-holes.
This past Monday, I got hipped to this video by FreddieGredde, YouTube tribute-artist extraordinaire. I’ve seen a lot of videos that I kind of describe as “Guy With Instruments Playing Video Game Music” (GWIPVGM) videos — they can be great, or they can be dull. They can be as charming as Pomplamoose, or as annoying as… well, as annoying as Pomplamoose, actually.
I think we’ve all seen our fair share of “guy with instruments playing video game music” videos on YouTube.
As a nice little treat, the folks at SuperGiant Games have posted a video of audio director Darren Korb and vocalist Ashley Barrett doing an impromptu performance of “Build that Wall,” the track that won so many hearts (including mine) in the studio’s lovely downloadable game Bastion.
A decade and a half ago a sublime blend of Eastern role-playing and Wild Western adventure was released in Japan. Today the talented folks at OC Remix celebrate that release with a free album featuring more than four hours of expertly twisted tunes from the soundtrack of the original Wild Arms.
We often talk about video game developers use music (in fact, just tonight we started listing the best music of 2011!), but it can be fun to look at how musicians incorporate video games into their work, as well.
Following in the footsteps of the Humble Indie Bundle, today only you can buy the Game Music Bundle for as much as you’d like to pay, from $US1 to $US10,000. (Yes, there is actually an option to pay 10 grand.)
Masato Nakamura says he composed the remix of Sonic the Hedgehog‘s Green Hill Zone theme the way he did the original: By imagining it as a film. The difference is he only had still photographs when he wrote the song 20 years ago. Now for source material has the advantage of full motion video — and, of course, one of video gaming’s most iconic pieces of music.
