  1. Pingback: “Moon Over the Castle” – Gran Turismo 4 (Games in Concert 2 ) « Hadouken

  2. Marcos: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely check out DoD: Lots of solid gold available there.

    Kaleb: Love Jet Moto. Got some more of that coming in the near future, without us talking over it.

  3. The Vamo’ alla Flamenco arrangement was very Ace. Checked out the other arrangements on the site and liked some of them…disappointed to see only 2 other games outside of Final Fantasy.

    Just listened to the 2009 Game Symphony Orchestra recordings. Again, having attended live orchestral concerts…I know these songs are much more amazing live for a fact(Still Alive is really cool regardless ). I really need to visit these guys and the Video Game Orchestra.

    The whole Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes thing sounds like a stunt for either self promotion and/or just a reason to stop the project. It almost reminds me of Bob’s game, which is just unbearable to pay any attention too now of these days.

    Dr. Manhattan’s Ys 3 “Wanderers from Ys – The Freak Winged Boy” was awesome too. I used to pass by there from time to time, but never delve deep in the site, so I think it’s about time I go do that.

    Another good podcast.
