Grifflon’s Top 10 video game tracks!

I set the task this week for the DLCD crew to compose a list of their top ten favourite musical scores and songs from any and all video games. I have to say this is not a simple task to do. It involves a lot of soul searching. Throughout your gaming experiences what songs have remained glued to your memory? What inspired you to push the buttons a little harder and quicker? What levels would you replay over and over just to hear that fantastic music forever indented in your mind?

These are mine.

               

10. POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON EXPLORERS OF THE SKY –

                     “MEMORIES RETURNED”

I am quite a fan of the Pokémon franchise and have followed it since the early stages of Pokémon Yellow Special Edition, right up to the recent Black and White 2 games. Spin offs are usually terrible, but in my eyes the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series is actually pretty good. Unlike the main games where the protagonist catches Pokémon and trains them to fight others you actually are a Pokémon. What type of Pokémon is left up to a personality test that at times seems to just spurt random nonsense. What these games have is emotion. Never in the main series has there been such attachment and an emotional plot line than the Mystery Dungeon games. You and your partner grow together, battling and becoming successful Pokémon Explorers, all while uncovering a deeper plot that involves the fate of the entire Pokémon World!
