Lately I've found myself playing DOA Ultimate (DOA1&2 together). Even though I don't play it often, there's something addicting about this series. 1) No its not because of the female leads; 2) Design? This has always intrigued me. There are many hidden things in this game many just look over; 3) Its beautiful

Okay, there's alot of 3D fighters out there, but I've never been crazy about the genre. Sure there's the top notch Virtua Fighter 5 (I'm not much of a VF fan). Or Tekken (juggling yay!) yeah right.. one false move, match is over. Just something about "countering" "ex moves", and grappling just intrigues me. Let alone I even ordered a copy of Rumble Roses XX (from Konami's Direct online store).

But the best part? Alot of these fighting games have fun, and inquisitive easter eggs. For one, DOA2 (remix) it feels better to name it that way. *its a dreamcast baby after all. What's even more endearing, is that hiding inside of the "Audio" sub-menu; is a Sound Test sampler. Just look around, and you'll find remixes of one of your fav characters. Honestly I wish more games included this fun little feature (even RRXX has this.. unlock enough features, and you might even find bonus remixes).

Hopefully more games in the future carries this neat tradition. Even retro games are gaining remix albums (Darius, Rockman, just to name a few). Might even say its a gift to gamers who made a neat purchase, and you know what, its well worth the price you bought it for.


Speaking of music, what are some of your favorite BGM themes?
