  The smoke has finally cleared, and we can finally announce our winners and runners-up for our 3rd annual Original Sound Version Original Soundtrack of the Year 2011 Awards.

  As promised in our review, here’s our unboxing video of the limited edition soundtrack so you can check it out before you delve in. I mentioned in the video that the 4-disc set has a hefty asking price, but didn’t recall what it was. It’s actually 4,980 Yen, or close of $60 USD, so yeah. [...]

  SoulCaster Gets Merchant’s Legendary Arrangements Remix Album

  SoulCaster Gets Merchant’s Legendary Arrangements Remix Album 02.14.12 | Jayson Napolitano | Comment?

  You can call me a huge fan of MagicalTimeBean, the one-man studio behind SoulCaster and more recently, Escape Goat. I loved the retro soundtracks for the SoulCaster titles, and in addition to them being available for a name-your-own-price on Bandcamp, they’re also available alongside an exclusive six-track arrangement album through the Indie Royale Valentine’s Bundle.

  Carving Out Its Own Destiny: SOULCALIBUR V (Review)

  Carving Out Its Own Destiny: SOULCALIBUR V (Review) 02.13.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment

  When it was announced that an international team of composers would be scoring SOULCALIBUR V I think all of us were a little bit nervous about how it may turn out given the consistent quality of the franchise’s soundtracks over the years. Despite the names involved, I wondered to myself if composers like Hiroki Kikuta [...]

  Hot and Bothered For Rhythm Heaven Fever (Review) 02.10.12 | Jayson Napolitano | Comment?

  It’s looking like 2012 is going to be a big year for the Wii despite the launch of the Wii U is looming. Titles like Xenoblade and Retro City Rampage will certainly hit this year, and it’s possible that The Last Story and Dragon Quest X could slide in late into 2012. But first up [...]

  Download This Now: Mutant Mudds OST + SPEAK Remix 02.07.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment

  We’ve never talked about Troupe Gammage here on OSV, but we probably should have been. I’ve known him since we was a young kid back in the demoscene, and he’s constantly impressed me with his ability to craft ridiculously catchy melodies and for the contrast between his manly voice and boyish appearance. Well, I was [...]

  Final Fantasy XIII-2 CE Soundtrack Looks Different

  Final Fantasy XIII-2 CE Soundtrack Looks Different 02.05.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 3 Comments

  We got a huge response from our Final Fantasy XIII-2 unboxing video last month. The biggest question most mainstream gamers had, however, was how the packaging from the Japanese soundtrack releases compared to what’s included with the US collector’s edition. I didn’t think it was necessary to record  another complete unboxing video, so I just [...]

  A Million Reasons to Download Darkhalo’s A Million Drops

  A Million Reasons to Download Darkhalo’s A Million Drops 02.01.12 | Jayson Napolitano | Comment?

  You may not remember our coverage of Josh “Darkhalo” Barnett in the past. We covered his release Phase Shift in addition to hosting a lengthy interview with the demoscene legend (he hates being called that, which makes it all the more fun), and he’s just put out an brand new album titled A Million Drops.

  Third Time’s a Charm: DJMAX Technika 3 (Review)

  Third Time’s a Charm: DJMAX Technika 3 (Review) 01.27.12 | Jayson Napolitano | 1 Comment

  Actually, DJMAX Technika had me at hello. The first Technika soundtrack was probably my favorite to date, and we’ve covered a lot of DJMAX over the years. The unique blend of K-pop, electronic music, and contributions from Korean composers ESTi, Nauts, Diny, and Shinji Hosoe made for a unique experience that ranks among my favorites [...]
