We all know that Hollywood movies have great music and sad music as well, but video games are also well known for their music as well and now I present to you my personal five favorite sad songs from gaming and they aren't in any particular order.

Medal Of Honor European Assault - One Man Can Make A Difference

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iSZBBApUhY

A very emotion song to say the least, you can tell Christopher Lennertz had a lot of aspiration from John Williams as this song would be great in any WWII movie, but instead its in MOH and I was very moved by this song myself since after beating the game I wasn't expecting this song and my parents even though I was watching a WWII movie when this song played. That's how great this song is.

Halo 2 - Unforgotten

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXLNB2K-YA0

Martin O' Donnell and Michael Salvatori did an amazing job on the soundtrack for Halo 2 even thought the game was a little disappointing. When I first heard this song I thought of all the hard times I've been through, but hearing the song I'm sure it make you feel a lot of emotions as well. The remix of it off the Halo 3 OST is amazing as well. Surprisingly it brought me to tears after hearing it for the first time.

Megaman X5 - Zero's Dead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFjQ8I7PUKI

Surprisingly a Megaman X song made it into my list, but this one's included because the significance of the song. It plays during the ending to Megaman X5 and its suppose to be a fair well to Zero. I liked this song because I felt sad at seeing Zero X's longtime friend and partner finally dying or until at last X6, but the song is emotional is its own right.

Chrono Trigger - At The Bottom Of Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTwocdhLpus

Not just one of my favorite RPGs of all time, but Chrono Trigger also happened to have one of my favorite soundtracks in gaming as well and this is one of the more emotion tracks in the game as well. Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu composed some great music for Chrono Trigger and just from listening to the song you can almost feel the loss in this song. Truly a great piece of gaming music.

Metal Gear Solid - Enclosure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxkGP1efHOc

You hear this song right after your battle with Sniper Wolf and its a very sad song indeed. Sniper Wolf talks about her life as this song plays and you can feel the emotion coming out in this song. MGS had a lot of great tracks, but by far this is my favorite track off the OST. Whoever was playing the piano on this song is amazing.

So there you have it. My top five favorite emotional songs from gaming. I hope that maybe listening to some of the songs gave you a tear or two.

See you next blog!

Just when I thought I'd gotten away from the tagging game I get tagged again! This time by kairikh. So now I have to list ten more facts about myself.

1. My favorite place to eat out is Del Taco. Nothing beats their chicken soft tacos! They're awesome!

2. Believe it or not even though I'm over 21 I'm not a big drinker of boozes. I only drink when I feel like it.

3. I'm not much of a morning person. I'm more of a night owl.

4. The game that has had the biggest influence on my gaming life would be Super Mario World.

5. Manga doesn't appeal to me that much, but still I read Naruto and Full Metal Panic as they are the only mangas that have interested me.

6. I've collected almost every issue of the Sonic The Hedgehog comics since 1993 when the comics first came out.

7. My friend tried to get me into World Of Warcraft, but I just didn't see what was so big about the game.

8. My favorite anime is Dragonball Z. Second would be Naruto Shippuden.

9. My favorite cartoon is Sonic The Hedgehog or as its better known SatAM. A close second would be TMNT 80s.

10. My most cherished gaming console that I own would be my SNES which I've owned since I was six years old.

So yet another ten facts about me and of course I'm not tagging anyone since the game is very annoying! See you next blog!

Oh my gosh! Metal Gearrrrrr!

In light of my 360 going out I've been finding ways to still occupy myself and here we are with some more weekly purchases I got.

Where to start... As many of you know I'm a pretty big Doom fan and I hate to admit it, but I almost own every version of Doom made and I was missing one version that was hard to find and after months of searching I was finally able to find this version:

That's right. What people consider the worst port of Doom on 3DO. I don't own a 3DO this finally completes my collection of all the versions of Doom and I'm glad because the person selling this version was selling it for only 20 dollars pretty good if you ask me. E-Bay is great for that.

Originally I had passed up Naruto Shippuden Vol. 2 in favor of Sonic SATAM, but since it was on sale I didn't pass it up this time and I bought it. I got it on sale for $14.99 pretty good if I say so myself.

I was going to pass up Naruto Shippuden the movie, but I've heard a lot of good things about it and I decided to pick it up and I wasn't disappointed. The movie was pretty engrossing and I was surprised by the end. Recommended to anyone that enjoys Naruto. Pick this up for $10 at my local video store.

*Sonic CD box art much?* I can't go without mentioning one of my favorite comics. I had to pick up Sonic The Hedgehog Archives #11 since it contained some comics I wasn't able to get and its a must for any fan of the Sonic comics. Picked this up for 15 bucks at my local comic shop.

What's this? Some music actually found its way onto my purchases? Yes indeed it did and its from a band that I've been listening to for sometime. Chevelle is a pretty good band and their single Jars is my favorite song from the album so far, but overall its a great album. Only 10 bucks from Best Buy.

So there you go some more weekly purchases from me. I'll see everyone next blog!

Theme For This Blog: Jars

Artist: Chevelle

Some people just don't have opinions. Like macrules_640.
macrules_640 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could macrules_640 possibly have for not rating a single film?
