If, for whatever reason you STILL haven’t played LPAMAN & The Missing Phoenix, or gave up on it a couple levels in, you probably missed out on some pretty cool tunes. The soundtrack was composed specifically for the game, featuring three unique songs for each world and cutscene-specific music as well. Fear not, if the [...]

Click here to download my Wretches & Kings mix Today, I’ve released a new re-mix for Linkin Park’s Wretches & Kings. This mix is particularly interesting for a lot of reasons, most being technical, but the most obvious is the instrumentation itself. I’d be willing to wager that since having my mix for Linkin Park’s [...]

Looking back, I wouldn’t be surprised if people visited my blog, saw the post count, the last couple posts especially, and just decided to never come back. It’s weird that anytime I’ve tried to come back and blog on a consistent basis my schedule would blow up and suddenly I’d have no time to jot [...]

Bioshock felt like a complete story. Jack was just a guy who found the underwater city of Rapture and by game’s end the seemingly largest tyrants that remained there were defeated. Then it’s assumed the city would fade away with time, allowing the imprisoned Little Sisters to live their lives in the wake of your [...]

Hello, and welcome all to the re-opening of KeatonHashimoto.com and the blog. If you’ve been following the site for a while, you probably noticed it was only half completed. At the time I ended up getting pretty busy so there was little opportunity left to work on personal projects. Alas, I’ve finally found time and [...]

Bayonetta is almost indescribable in a good way. Everything from presentation to gameplay, story and even the extras are so over the top, it’s hard to not talk about this game. For those of you unfamiliar, Bayonetta is a witch who uses her hair to fight and slay angels that are constantly hunting her down. [...]

It’s been awhile since a game has scared me, frustrated me terribly or just downright destroyed me. Demon’s Souls did all that and more in the first few minutes of starting the tutorial. Yes, Demon’s Souls is hard, unforgiving, merciless and above all, terrifying. It has to be one of the most challenging and difficult [...]

Flower has mostly been called experimental and as typical and cliché as it may be, I would have to agree with those people. It’s unlike anything I’ve played before, and just so hard to put into words. The basic premise of Flower is pretty simple: you control the wind with the PS3 sixaxis, and your [...]

The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned was the first DLC expansion for Gearbox’s FPS-RPG hybrid, Borderlands. It allowed players to travel to Jacob’s Cove, which had been taken over by the undead. Upon arriving, you’re asked to find the source of the problem and put an end to the zombie infestation. Along the way you [...]

Allow me to sum this game up in one fantastic sentence: Borderlands is Modern Warfare meets Diablo II. Oh yeah. Mixing first person shooter mechanics with role-playing elements which include a skill tree system, experience points, level ups and more, Borderlands is a breath of fresh air in a genre that’s become oversaturated as of [...]
