Game That Tune

Like a fine wine, Game That Tune has reached maturity in its 69th episode. In this episode we have a civilized discussion of Mature-rated games, including discussions of Tony the Tiger murdering people, animal transformations that make no sense, why the biggest video game badass of all-time doesn't really have a name, Mortal Kombat characters as lawyers, and of course, characters that were created...

Inspired by the launch of our Patreon, we've got an episode all about games with paid bonus content! That's right, those three letters we all love to hate: DLC! We have a blast with special returning guest Ryan Drake (@rayke) as we talk overpowered artists, killing Rami Malek (in a game), games we love everything about except playing them, games that haven't aged well, and phone calls that interru...

It's a really wild episode of Game That Tune, because we've got games starring animals!

We go on a feels-trip on this week's episode: games that made us cry! Yes, strong men also cry!

The Game That Tune gang is back with great soundtracks from not-so-great games! Or good soundtracks from outright bad games! The point is, the game is worse than its soundtrack! We talk about awesome dialogue that might be from Zelda or Jersey Shore, how to bust the myths of the Sonic series, how to make a game to get yourself fired, possible racism and sexism in a game about toys, and we worship...

This week's theme was hard to explain without being too wordy, which might explain why a couple of us missed the assignment! We're talking spinoff games named after a supporting character from the series...That makes sense, right? Right! Anyway, we have a blast with 6 games worth of great tunes, and discussing why these characters were deemed worthy of their own games! New episodes of Game That Tu...

Themes like this are interesting for Game That Tune because they force us out of our usual nonsense and riffing and into an actual discussion of each game. In this case, we're talking about "one too many" games; games that maybe shouldn't have been made, games that tarnish a series, games that were shameless cash-ins, games that are just unessential. As always, even when the games are qu...

Part of making an accessible video game music guessing pulling from the well of iconic music from numerous long running and well-loved franchises. Well, we've got none of those on this week's show, since the theme is indie games!

Game That Tune falls back on a reliable theme this week by looking back 20 years! Since it's a new year, that means 5 games worth of music from 1997, but man oh man do we avoid the big names!
