Some of the Greatest Metal Remixes of Video Game Music

Well there are some certainly great remixes of some of our favorite gaming music out there, but nothing is as great as a good ol’ metal remix. While Chris, here at LevelSave, likes to find himself some techno/trance/dubstep remixes, I go for the metal \m/. Below are some of my favorite metal remixes of gaming music from NES to the latest gen. Go break something and enjoy yourself. Super Punch Out – Minor Circuit (SNES) by MattMagic I played the hell out of this...

This Game is Broken 6

In this episode Barry takes a vacation and leaves Chris to flounder in the big seat. This results in much gushing over A Link Between Worlds, depression around Papers, Please, and Chris mixing up Half-Life 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. Kenny Rioux was kind enough to join the cast and shared his thoughts on Gone Home and Steam trading cards which he buys and feels bad about. Matt also aired some of his disdain for the most recent Batman trilogy, but only some; the rage still sits...

ViolinTay’s Extraordinary Rendition of Apotheosis from Journey

I absolutely love seeing videos like the one below. Austin Wintory, composer of the breathtaking soundtrack from Journey, tweeted this video out not long ago. I watched it and believed it had to be shared. You may know ViolinTay from many of her other videos. She has many videos displaying her amazing talent, where she plays themes from different video games. This video is absolutely beautiful. Just watch it. Subscribe to her YouTube channel here.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP – The Silent Commentary, Episode 2

If you tuned in last week to the introductory episode of S:S&SEP, this one will take you further down the rabbit hole. With alternate realities and Sylvan Sprites to rescue, there is no shortage of that Superbrothers brand of ethereal weirdness. If you haven’t watched last week’s episode, I encourage you to do so here. That said, bring the noise!

9Symphony – Ghost in the (Stereo) System

Have you ever wanted to shoot things from a space craft AND sing Call Me Maybe at the same time? It wasn’t until recently I found out I indeed HAVE had that need, which is why I am reviewing Symphony by Empty Clip Studios. Symphony took home two awards from the Indie Game Challenge, and from what I gathered from the one screenshot I saw, was that it was a game about music somehow, and looked like an arcade-style shooter – apparently I am a very good journalist. So I...
