van Canto? Really? Never did understand the appeal myself.

borisfett4825d ago

But you are forgiven because Machinae Supremacy are in there.

Sidology4824d ago

Well, of COURSE they are on there.

Sidology4824d ago

They're more of a novelty above anything, but I'm incredibly in love with the talent.

Being able to do just about everything with the voice, it's an excellent display of control and discipline.

Herminator4825d ago

Very nice list, the only one I can think of that's missing is Anamanaguchi.

Sidology4824d ago

The reason I left Anamanaguchi off is because their music is too compressed and makes for absolutely unlistenable quality. It's atrociously loud and while it's charming and cute (for the Scott Pilgrim game and their original stuff), I get a headache from listening to it.

There's no dynamic range, and while that IS a throwback to way-back-when, it should not be happening with modern recording techniques.

SeraphimBlade4824d ago

Holy crap, now I need to play Sacred 2 just for Blind Guardian.

What about Poets of the Fall? Their songs were used in Alan Wake and Max Payne, and in Wake they wrote and performed the songs of the fictional metal band Old Gods of Asgard, and the songs played a major role in the story.

Sidology4824d ago

Hey, thanks for your comment! Didn't actually think about Poets of the Fall, but if I should have a "runner-up" list, they'll definitely be on there.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night says, 'not so fast there, Ollie'.

Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.

It Seems Pretty Clear Why StarCraft 3 is Not a Thing Yet

Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.

They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.

Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.

Jingsing162d ago

The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.
