Catching up on the last week (Sep. 30 - Oct. 7)

Hello all. Sorry again for not posting on schedule, but school is straining my abilities to keep up on everything. So to catch up, here is an all-in-one post for last week.

First the Song of the Week:

This gem of a track comes from one of my personal favorite games, Earthworm Jim. This is the Sega Genesis version of this song, "Use your head", by esteemed composer of many games, and the brain trust behind the concert series Video Games Live, Tommy Tallarico.

Next up, the Art of the Week:

This is a little different from art I've previously showcased here, as this a direct copy of the Age Of Empires box art. I selected this piece because one, it has a really wonderful sense of balance and color, and two, the original Age of Empires doesn't get nearly the love it deserves. I understand why, since AoEII was a RTS masterpiece, but still the original deserves some love.

Finally, we have last Saturday's (Oct. 6th) Replay!

In this Replay! we get to hear an intriguing debate about the merits of Banjo Kazooie vs. Mario 64, Ben Hanson declares his favorite N64 game is one he never played half of, and Tim Turi faces off with an obscure Japanese computer adaptation of Super Mario in a new installment of Stress Test.

This is one of the best Replay episodes we've gotten in recent months. ENJOY IT.

Replay Rating: 9.5
