Relive the Memories With SNES Soundtracks

The other day I was talking to someone about the music of the original NES Ninja Turtles game and found a YouTube video featuring the main song. As I played it I noticed a link the comments where someone had captured all the music from classic games and made them available for download.

If you have wanted to relive some of the classic music from games you own on NES or Super Nintendo I seriously recommend you checkout YouTube or NES Sprites.

New Star Wars Battlefront: How Did I Miss This?

I love Star Wars and because of that, it's not shocking to know that I look forward to all good news about it. After Lucas sold the franchise to Disney, Disney sold the rights to make future Star Wars games to EA. It seems EA has taken this and focused it on something fans have been asking for, an all new Star Wars Battlefront game. I have no idea how this news has slipped past me, but in all the mad boring-aise of E3, I missed this nugget of awesome.

Recently a few more bits came out about the new Battlefront game, that it will come out in 2015 around the same time as Episode VII and it will also come out on PC.

I am looking forward to playing this game but, like many new triple A games I might not pick this up on release day. All that to say, what are your thoughts on the new Battlefront game? Are you looking forward to taking your hand fighting for the Empire and/or Rebellion? Is this a day one buy for you?

Cheerful Ghost Roundtable: S2 E13: Halloween Special + END

In this brand new Halloween episode of The Cheerful Ghost Roundtable we talk a bit about what we are playing as well as.... Tie Fighter coming to GOG, the new Star Wars Battlefront, our most favoriate Halloween themed games and more.

Check it out, IF YOU DARE!

As an aside, this will be the last Roundtable for the year. Check us out in January for our all new season! IT WILL POSSIBLY FEATURE DANCING GAMER CATS!

Humble Bundle 13: Risk of Rain, Olli Olli, Amnesia and More!

The Humble InDIE Bundle 13 dropped featuring 4 copies of Risk of Rain, Olli Olli, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Tower of Guns, Amnesia a Machine For Pigs, Jazzpunk & Shadowrun Returns if you pay $15. This one also has a special $65 tier that comes with a box, hoodie, patches and cassette tape!

This features the brand new port of Risk of Rain on Mac and Linux as well as all the other games on those ports as well. I was wondering why Risk of Rain didn't drop with Mac and Linux ports on the last update and it dropping in this Bundle makes sense why they waited.

Humble Indie Bundle 13, too good to pass up or are you going to pass on it? I mean, four copies of Risk of Rain is a pretty cool thing now that it features Internet Co-Op!

Starship Rubicon Hits Steam Greenlight + Reveal Trailer

After spending the last few months polishing Starship Rubicon we are extremely excited to debut the game on Steam Greenlight. Wick and I are both huge Steam fans and as such if you would like to see Rubicon on Steam, we’d appreciate an upvote. We are also using the Greenlight to debut our new Rubicon Reveal Trailer featuring new gameplay footage!

So take a minute to head over to our Steam Greenlight page, give us an upvote and check out the new trailer and gameplay screenshots!

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=331311253

"In Starship Rubicon, Earth has been casually destroyed by a mysterious race of space-faring invertebrates. You are a fighter pilot whose cryopod has been collected by a possibly-insane AI, who has placed you in the unenviable position of being humanity’s savior. Shanghaied and alone, you must gather the remaining human survivors and traverse the surprising biodiversity of deep space to find a new home.

Features

Quick Gameplay - Pilot your ship in fast-paced shoot-em-up, featuring a unique approach to arcade physics and controls.
Customize Your Ship - Upgrade your ship with a Tetris-styled hangar bay as you find weapons and items on your quest.

Randomized Universe - Make your way through a diverse galaxy as you encounter interesting new lifeforms. Each play session generates a new path of enemies, allies, and items.

Casual Roguelike - When your ship blows up, that’s the end of the line for that game. However, if you collect enough crystal shards by the end of a sector you can save your ship to re-launch it on another level.

A Fleet Of Ships To Play - Do you prefer fast ships for run and gun? Do you like something that takes a punch but isn’t as agile? Start the game with 3 different ships and spend shards to unlock more ships with unique abilities!

Thanks scrypt, it's been a fun ride so far.

When you say an "up vote," do you mean a "yes" to the question of "would you buy this game if it were on Steam?" I finally played the Kickstarter version today. I was surprised by how small the zip file is (12mb). I need to spend some more time with the game, I apparently suck at it currently. Still, I would like to throw some support towards our first published game.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 10/27/2014 at 10:53pm

Yep, answering "Yes" to that question is an upvote.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 10/27/2014 at 11:35pm

Excellent, I will do that and I'll see about getting in some more game time in with it. =)

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 10/27/2014 at 11:36pm

Oh and have you noticed any issues with the site? From what I see, it seems some of the HTML coding may be messed up. It doesn't load or even look properly.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 10/28/2014 at 12:19am

The Greenlight site? If so, no it looks good here.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 10/28/2014 at 12:28am

Yes, it looks horrible in Chrome, but it's fine in IE, so I was able to give it a "vote up."

Zach_Foster wrote on 10/28/2014 at 01:34am

Just up-voted in steam, cant wait to play it! I wish i could have played it at the Retro Game Expo, but there was too many people, too many things to do, and not enough time to do it. Any news on a beta release?

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 10/28/2014 at 01:39am

Yeah, we are going into a VERY early beta soon and then a larger beta after some unspecified time.

All that to say, my goal is to have it out by year end or before.

This is great! Can't wait for it to come out!

Witcher 3 Cinematic: Horse Head Decapitation + Raven Murder

The opening Cinematic for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt has finally dropped and sports some absolutely stunning animation. It starts with a Sorceress getting caught in the middle of a pretty standard medieval battle. Featuring one of the most gruesome horse decapitation moves a general decaptiates the Sorceress horse. Hilarity ensues and as such I recommend you watch it to see how it ends.

What do you think of the new Witcher 3 trailer? How do you feel about horse decaptiation? How can ravens fly through people's skulls? Why does the Witcher suddenly look like Gabe Newell? Does the Witcher celebrate Christmas?

These questions may be answer when The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt drops next year.

Destiny Tales Shows First World Destiny Problems

If you have been paying attention to the release of Bungie's new game Destiny you may have heard some people take point to aspects of it. YouTube sensation loadingreadyrun has created a fun 8bit styled video about some Destiny quirks.

Not sure I am going to pick this up on console and if it ever does come to PC, I can't wait to try it out and join the "destiny complain train."

Key & Peele Family Matters Sketch

If you haven't seen this sketch, I recommend you check it out. It contains some ripe language, so prepare yourself. Oh right and Steve Urkel, it also features Steve Urkel.

Jack And Rich Review Alien Isolation: Door Opening Simulator

Jack and Rick from Red Letter Media review Alien: Isolation the new triple A horror game from Sega. I took away a few things from this video. First off I am not going to get Alien: Isolation, secondly I am happy that when I sit down to review a game, if I don't like it I stop.

That said, I sort of admire their persistence and watching the video was pretty great even though they loathed the game they were reviewing. In the end hearing the game wasn't great was unfortunate as I really like Alien and was hoping for a really kick ass stealth game.

Fist Of Jesus Proves There Is A God

In a world featuring samey tropes and cookie cutter storylines, Mutant Games brings us the heretically titled game Fist of Jesus. In Fist of Jesus

"Something went wrong with Lazarus’ resurrection... help Jesus and Judas to fight the zombie infection using amazing combos, divine punishments and special attacks!"

As you can see from the trailer above, Mutant Games is having a ton of fun with Jesus fan fic and zombies.
