We’re living in a golden age of videogame OSTs. Soundtracks from FromSoft games, Nintendo games or the “Persona” series (to name a few) have gone down as modern classics … and one recent soundtrack which immediately entered the pantheon of greats was Lorien Testard’s work on “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”. I thought it would beContinue reading “Top 33 “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” Songs”

Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Return of the Great Departed Soul” (Case 2-3)
Out of all the cases in the “Great Ace Attorney” duology, “The Return of the Great Departed Soul” was the one I was most looking forward to reviewing. I remembered it being one of the best cases in the series … but does it still hold up? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Return of the Great Departed Soul” (Case 2-3)”
Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 2-2)
We’ve had flashback cases in the series before, but “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” marked the first time an Ace Attorney case took place inside (or close enough to) another case’s chronology. There’s a lot to unpack here as a result … so it’s time for a Deep Dive! I’ll be deconstructing the caseContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 2-2)”
Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 1-4)
After the blood-pumping Trial in “The Adventure of the Runaway Room”, Ryunosuke and Susato take on their first real case in “The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro”. Will it live up to the thrills of the previous case? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten forContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 1-4)”
Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Runaway Room” (Case 1-3)
After two cases which dragged the pacing down, “The Adventure of the Runaway Room” finally kicks things up a gear. This is where “The Great Ace Attorney” begins to find its footing. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will give a definitiveContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Runaway Room” (Case 1-3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)
We’ve entered a new era of Ace Attorney – Shu Takumi is no longer the creative force behind the games, and for better or for worse that led to a fresh take on the Ace Attorney canon with “Dual Destinies”. The first case, “Turnabout Countdown”, certainly kicks things off with a bang. I’ll be deconstructingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)
After the success of the first game, Shu Takami – Ace Attorney’s primary writer – was ordered by Capcom to make an entire trilogy. After months of writing and re-writing, and after being rushed by tight deadlines, it wasn’t long before “Justice For All” released in Japan. Its first case “The Lost Turnabout” has aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)”
Top 15 Persona 4 Songs
Persona 4 Golden was the first Persona game I ever played. As a result, I have a huge nostalgia for its fantastic soundtrack. There are so many songs in this game that I love, so I’ll give you my top 15 favourites. Be warned – there may be some SPOILERS as to the context ofContinue reading “Top 15 Persona 4 Songs”
Top 20 Persona 5 Songs
Persona 5 has easily one of the greatest soundtracks in all of gaming, so much so that narrowing it down to my favourite 20 proved to be quite challenging – I reckon I could have made a list comprised of completely different tracks and some people wouldn’t have complained! These are all biased picks, butContinue reading “Top 20 Persona 5 Songs”
Doctor Who – Top 20 Songs
I love Doctor Who, and I believe it to have some of the best music in any TV show ever. Murray Gold is a genius (and Segun Akinola too … sometimes), and his musical compositions will stick with me forever. I have so many favourites, in fact, that I’ve selected my top 20 tracks fromContinue reading “Doctor Who – Top 20 Songs”
