No video game is complete without music. What we hear plays a huge part of the vibe a video game ultimately conveys – whether it’s a feeling of fun, fright, or that one feeling where you believe you’re a one-person army who’s ready to face off against any Lovecraftian monstrosity the game hurls at you while you’re trying to save the world. So Alex and David chat about their favorite soundtracks, from the frantic and upbeat tunes of Cuphead to the ominous, ever-unnerving melodies of Silent Hill.
But before that, there’s a lot more to discuss. David talks about the Super Mario Bros. Movie and why the critical reception is so off compared to the public reviews and the movies revenue, while Alex dives deep into the upcoming Five Nights At Freddy’s film. But there’s also Pokémon, Minecraft, Zelda and Final Fantasy XVI. Come and listen!
