Devastator Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch (reviewed), PC Devastator touts itself as being a retro-inspired twin-stick shooter that is polished to the point of being the most intense and satisfying twin-stick shooter experience possible. It also claims to have such a surprising amount of depth and subtlety that it offers […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out 48 – Atomic Robo-Kid (Arcade/Genesis/PC Engine/X68000)
Think of this episode as a call to action. The Atomic Robo-Kid soundtrack has a lot of potential but is hurt by some of the choices made for it. I’m not saying go out and make an album and thank me or anything, but I feel like SOMEONE should do something with this soundtrack. There’s […]
ROWYCO 38 – My Name’s Not Florence, It’s Zelda
This week, I’m starting what is likely to be an annual tradition. About a year ago, February 9th, 2019, to be exact, my grandmother passed away. As you’ll hear in this episode, I’ve got a ton of memories of her with game music attached to them. Maybe it’s a bit of a stretch, but I […]
ROWYCO 20 – SEGA AGES OutRun -Music Collection-
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez do something a little different this time. Rather than look at the soundtrack to one game, we look at a compilation album. A certain friend of the show was kind enough to send Jason a copy of SEGA AGES OutRun -Music Collection, so we decided it would be a good idea to […]
ROWYCO 19 – U.N. Squadron/Area 88
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez take a listen to the SNES version of U.N. Squadron and the arcade version of Area 88. They’re effectively the same game, but with different hardware comes different sounds, so we do some comparisons as well as listen to some individual tracks. The ROWYCO theme song, “Kaze Fuma”, was composed by chibi-tech and our […]
ROWYCO 11 – Ikaruga
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are covering another shooter. This time, it’s not rail-type. No, we’re going with one of the most-respected and well-know vertical shooters ever made – Ikaruga. Hiroshi Iuchi was the composer for this one and, much like Star Fox’s composer Hajime Hirasawa, this would be his last credit for composing. In […]
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Coming To Playstation 4 In 2018
It’s been an odd haul for the until-now arcade-only Dissidia Final Fantasy. The fighting game was built on modified Playstation 4 hardware, but it wasn’t until today that Square Enix announced that it will be coming to the Playstation 4 in 2018 as Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (which is somehow not the most unwieldy title in the […]
