Zelda, Mario, Toejam & Earl? What’s The Best Video Game Music Ever?

November 10th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Whether you like it or not, the vast majority of the world is made up of people who play video games in one way or another. Yet bafflingly, they’re still seen as a lesser cousin to the pop culture’s big three of music, movies and TV.

This surely has to stop?

Anyway, with a lovely orchestral score of the Zelda theme doing the rounds at the moment, we thought we’d have a look at the best music that has featured on video games. There’s a dazzling amount to choose from… so which have we gone for? Over the jump to listen and disagree.

Top 25 Most Addictive Computer Games Of The 1980s

September 20th, 2012 By David Schwartz

It's time to grab your joysticks and join us on a trip down Memory Lane, as we look back at the best computer games of the 1980s.

Now, some of our younger readers are probably thinking there were no decent games during that time. And they would be at least half right. Let's face it – nostalgia apart – there was a lot of games which sucked around that time. We love to reminisce about these old games ? but have you actually gone back and played on them? Sheesh!

They usually involved breaking your joysticks or C64, Spectrum or Atari keyboards just to make a mess of pixels and garish colours move across a screen as fast as possible. Then there was the terrible sound and the seemingly endless amount of time you had to stare at the loading screens.

BBC To Import Gash Japanese TV Show

April 13th, 2008 By Matthew Laidlow

Ahh, the BBC. Known across the world for single handily setting the standard for television and radio output.

Throughout the corporation’s long and established history, a selection of programming has been available to cater for every taste. For the petty criminal, the opportunity to see your handy work appear on Crimewatch was an accolade to suggest you were up there with the Kray twins in terms of hardness. And for the freeloader, the chance to have Changing Rooms decorate your house for nowt could save a few quid on decorating bills.

In the last few years, however, some diabolical cynics have said the BBC has been dumbing down. How dare they. However, if reports are to be believed, programming chiefs at the BBC may want their heads smashed together. You see, they may be commissioning a UK version of a Japanese TV show we looked at last year – Hole In The Wall, otherwise known as Human Tetris.
