You know, I don't think I have any remixes from any of the Suikoden games. I'll have to check them out!

There's something for everyone on OCR, so happy hunting. And be sure to check back here next week for whatever I decide to spotlight then 

Definitely. Glad you liked it. I wish Jeremy Soule would do some more like it lol

OCR is great. The site can be a little intimidating at first because of the sheer number of songs on there (over two and a half thousand) but spending the time to dig through them is definitely worth it.

Yeah, the build up at the end is great 

Glad you liked it! 

Thanks! If you'd like to check out some more remixes now, I have a bunch on my 1UP page 

Awesome. I always thought it strange that there was no PM system, and notifications will make keeping up with everything so much easier. And yeah, the first couple times I logged in I hit the Enter key and then sat there...waiting...

No, Corruption was made specifically for the Wii and uses the remote and nunchuck for all they're worth. You really should pick up a Wii. They're pretty cheap at this point and despite all the hate it gets there are a ton of great games on there.

Yeah, I think Metroid Prime surprised everyone. I mean, who thought an unknown developer in Texas could bring Metroid into the third dimension without sacrificing any of its essential qualities? I'd also never played anything so immersive. It felt like you really were Samus. I remember the first time I saw her eyes reflect in the visor after a big explosion. Just incredible. The graphics were also great and the music fit lonely Tallon IV perfectly. Man, such a great game!

The linearity of Fusion didn't bother me when I played it because, for whatever reason, I didn't yet associate open-ended exploration with Metroid, despite all my time playing Super Metroid. So I enjoyed it right away. I really should go back and play it again...

As for Other M, you just have to know what you're getting into. The moment-to-moment gameplay is different but a lot of fun. They more or less preserve the exploration the series is known for but they have a tendency to tell you where everything is via waypoints on the map. Prime did that too but only if you wandered around for a while without accomplishing anything. Other M makes it ubiquitous but I think there's an option to turn it off entirely. Don't expect anything good from the story and you should be good to go 

Fusion and Other M both tried to add more story to Metroid. Fusion did it very well, I thought, but Other M...well, the gameplay was fun at least.
