7th Dragon isn't out in the US yet, but that hasn't stopped fans from talking about the amazing soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro (Actraiser, Etrian Odyssey). To bring the music to life, Koshiro has teamed up with Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Blade) to orchestrate selected tracks from the score and perform them live with a small ensemble. The album is out later this month in Japan, but OSV has gotten an advance sneak peek of the album and has initial impressions here.

Countdowns rarely lead to anything big, yet gamers constantly fall for them, leading Heath of Game Revolution to write: "Be it a big boost or a small one, an increase in exposure and hype are virtually guaranteed if a game publisher does something as simple as opening a website with a date and an image on it. How often does this work? Every dang time."
One marketing scheme I like? Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon has had absolutely no marketing around it.
It blows my mind every time I see people actually expecting/predicting big things from internet countdowns.
