Taro Kudo brings us his one and only fully-realized soundtrack and it's a banger. Konami released an obscure shoot 'em up in the early days of the SNES and it stood tall with the others. With experimental sound effects and themes, Kudo utilized the SNES sound chip to its maximum capability to bring a soundtrack that cemented it as one not to be missed.

Not every soundtrack can be a banger. Mike and Jesse review a title that not everyone has heard of from deep in the NES catalogue for today's soundtrack. While the soundtrack has promise, it ultimately falls short.

It was inevitable. This soundtrack has been on everyone's minds for years. Mike and Jesse sit down to discuss one of the NES' finest soundtracks. Composed almost entirely by Takashi Tateishi, Manami Matsumae (of Mega Man 1 fame) is credited for her contributions to the first game as well as helping compose a new track. These two composers working together bring forth a force to be reckoned with in video game composition.

The guys discuss the return of one of RTS' most significant stories. With a blend of crunchy electric guitars, orchestra, electronica and even a fiddle or two, this soundtrack is on fire. From the backwoods feel Raynor's Raiders to the militaristic might of Mengsk, the soundtrack keeps the story ever present and engaging. Mike also says farewell to Jon, who will be taking a step back from hosting for a while.

Ola Strandh lends his hand to this tactical RTS game. With a more modern setting, this game brings your focus on your units and objectives, rather than base building for a more emotional connection. Strandh uses this idea to create a soundtrack that pulls more at the heart strings and stage-setting than traditional bombastic titles. Does it succeed?
