12.03.12 | Haroon Piracha | Comment? Back at MAGFest 9, I saw these guys preform at an OCR panel as OCR live. It didn’t take long for the audience to experience the raw power these guys produced.

05.24.12 | Haroon Piracha | 1 Comment Journey is a new adventure-platformer with a very different approach to gameplay. How Journey’s soundtrack differs from other video game soundtracks is also rather difficult to explain.

04.20.12 | Haroon Piracha | Comment? Oh glory! From the Darkness II awakens the horror, walking among us and lingering in smoke and shadow. It will come for you, and when it finds you, it will play the most melancholy melody imaginable — then it’ll probably gut your heart, as painfully and memorably as possible.
