BM writes: "Bust-A-Move, Puzzle Bobble, whatever you want to call it, is a time-tested, addicting and fun puzzler from Taito. It has appeared on various consoles over the past 15+ years, and has now made its way to Xbox Live Arcade, following the release of Bubble Bobble Neo a few weeks ago. There seem to be two camps when it comes to re-releases of classics on newer console hardware: either the game is clearly tossed out for a quick buck based on reputation, or the developers add something to the title to make your second, third, or whatever the count is purchase of the game worth your while. Luckily, Bust-A-Move Live! is much more of the latter than the former, making it a fun puzzler you should pay attention to on the XBLA service."
"Taito's arcade library remains one of the most impressive in gaming history so let's revisit 2 of their most iconic series and see which one offers better bubble-busting games." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

Earlier this month, girl band f(x) was chosen to sing the OST for online game Puzzle Bobble (also known as Bust-A-Move). Although Taito, Japan originally developed the game in 1994, it has only recently been introduced to South Korea. Today, f(x) released the OST to help promote the game to new fans.
The song itself is light, fun, and quirky. Their energetic delivery and the cheerful melody make it perfect for playing an online game. The full audio is available now, so check it out below.
