barSILENCE: A Video Game Music Podcast

[Episode 39] This month, barSILENCE is dashing across rooftops and slicing through the shadows with the pulse-pounding beats of Shinobi and Nightshade for the PlayStation 2. 2002’s Shinobi introduced us to the relentless, vengeance-driven Hotsuma, and 2004’s Nightshade passed the blade to Hibana, a fierce ninja with her own score to settle. With blazing speed, brutal difficulty, and a sleek near-future look, these stylish action games brought Sega’s classic ninja franchise into the 3D era. Both games feature brilliant soundtracks that blend fierce electronic beats, rocking guitar riffs, and traditional Japanese instrumentation that perfectly capture the tension and thrill of modern ninja battle. Prepare for an audio mission through shadows, steel, and synths in Tokyo!

[Episode 38] This month, barSILENCE is behind the decks for a mixtape-style episode, spinning tracks from games that showcase hip-hop’s undeniable influence on gaming history. Hip-hop and video games are two cultural powerhouses that have inspired each other for decades. This episode celebrates that intersection of beats and bits, from classic 16-bit grooves to hip-hop artists stepping in as composers. Whether it’s the funk-infused rhythms of Ristar, the street-art style of Marc Ecko’s Getting Up, or the raw energy and fisticuffs of Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, hip-hop’s presence in gaming is bold, loud, and unforgettable. Grab your controller, drop the needle, and press start on the ultimate hip-hop video game music mixtape!

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and its sequel, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, were groundbreaking titles that helped define the modern twin-stick shooter genre.

Their success during the early Xbox Live Arcade era paved the way for the fully 3D sequel, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, available across multiple platforms.
