This Smooth Jazz Track Sounds Like Flashman From Mega Man 2
04.15.13 | Jayson Napolitano | Comment? Okay, so maybe only briefly. Skip to 1:30, and you’ll hear how similar the chorus sections are. Not that the melody from Mega Man 2′s “Flashman” is groundbreakingly original, but after hearing this song several times on the radio and thinking, “Man, this sounds like Mega Man,” I thought I’d share.

OSVOSTOTY 2012: Winner for Composer of the Year is…
02.02.13 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment Composer of the Year is always a difficult category to judge because either there isn’t a single composer who’s done more than a single work in a year, or, in the case of 2012, all of our nominees had stellar years with multiple projects. In this category, we select only one winner with no runners-up. [...]

OSVchannel: Halo 4 Original Soundtrack Limited Edition Unboxing Video
11.05.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 4 Comments There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now? Halo 4 is on the horizon, and people have been wondering what composer Neil Davidge would do in Marty O’Donnell’s and Michale Salvatori’s place. While I personally enjoy the soundtrack album, it is admittedly different. Still, don’t let that [...]

Unfortunately since Square Enix’s merchandising team has expanded their action figure line so [...]

A Fantasy Realized: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (Review)
07.30.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 2 Comments I nearly lost it when Theatrhythm was announced for the Nintendo 3DS. I was already excited about the 3D visuals offered up by the platform, and a dream game combining the music of Final Fantasy with rhythmic elements was not only completely unexpected, but was seemingly too good to be true. But true it was, [...]

Four Years of Original Sound Version
06.24.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 6 Comments Yes, it’s that time of year again. Sometime around mid-June of 2008, Dale North and I flipped the switch and OSV was born.

E3 2012: Lots of Good Music Stuff Was There
06.12.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment Okay, so OSV wasn’t out in full force at E3 this year, and that’s mainly because I was covering the event for Destructoid!
