Just so you know, Final Fantasy XIII has finally arrived! Finally, English voices and yet another FF to play! And for the Xbox360 users suffer from slightly less graphic quality, but who cares about that?!
BTW, If you go to Gamestop, you can obtain it in your grubby hands for a mere $20 when you trade certain games in (http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/ff13/).
And if you stay here, you know we’ve had the soundtrack for awhile, right? It’s by Masashi Hamauzu. He’s the one behind Dirge of Cerebus and Unlimited Saga- and was also behind more prominent works such as SaGa Frontier 2 and Front Mission: Gun Hazard.

I know it’s hard to envision Final Fantasy without Uematsu, but I believe that Hamauzu stepped up to the plate, and stepped well.

Played Flower on PS3?
Did you enjoy the music in this game and have been looking for the soundtrack?
You would have found out quickly that there is no soundtrack for this PS3 online store game… well, not yet. A quick search on Google will reveal that the composer, Vincent Diamante is in talks with Sony to release the album. So fingers crossed.
While you’re waiting for that, we are proud to release an Optical Audio Rip ‘Soundtrack’. This version was created by use of a Creative sound card and the optical audio out on the PlayStation 3. It was ripped in 24bit, 2116Kbps Wave format and encoded to MP3. Whilst it is not a complete rip, the released tracks represent 85-90% of the music in the game.
All the stages are included, from ‘Memories’ to ‘Urban’ and even the Credits finale stage.
The music in Flower is fantastically mellow and sits in the background beautifully. It is the perfect chill-out music.

So if you are interested in grabbing a copy, after logging in or signing up, you can get it here. Also, feel free to leave your comments regarding this album in the PS3 Flower thread in the forums and while you’re there, read the release notes.
Please enjoy this release, completely unique to vgmTorrents!

The jam was a success, clocking in at about 2:45, and it has been transmitted live on ustream.tv.
You can watch the recorded video after the jump. By the way, don’t miss the original soundtrack for Aquaria and get it now!

Back in the day (May 2009) when I had just launched this site, I was wondering if bbPress would’ve been a good choice as a forum software in the long term. I actually liked it for some time, especially for the immediate WordPress integration.
Unfortunately, I quickly realized it lacked a lot of the basic functions most message boards have, such as a proper PM system, bbCode support and so on. It looked quite simple (maybe too much) and I guess most people didn’t like it. I didn’t, either. That was weird.
Anyway, I didn’t have time for a migration — it was too late. What’s worse, is that there’s a MyBB Merge System which allows to import any forum into a MyBB forum (the software we are using now) but guess what? bbPress is not supported. So basically I had to write the importer on my own. After that, since the whole site relied on WordPress/bbPress as the authentication system, while it now uses MyBB (all the accounts have been moved there), I had to change some portions of code on the tracker frontend itself.
So, even if the site doesn’t look much different, indeed some things changed behind the scenes, which means some bug or glitch may pop up in these first days of beta stage. If you notice errors or anything you think it’s weird, just post a reply in this thread! http://bit.ly/1cn32o.
To me it feels like it’s the beginning of a new era for this site — forums are now much more accessible, visible and appealing; I bet we’ll get a lot of new posters with this migration. If you’re wondering why and still reading here, please stop and go have a look at the new boards. Happy posting!

Some good news. After almost a week uploading all the torrents to the seedbox with my crappy DSL connection (50 kb/s in upload), transferring files from my old hard-disk through a friend’s computer -mine is officially broken and I’m currently using my laptop- the whole pack of releases on vgmTorrents is finally up and running at quite good speeds and with at least 1 seed for each torrent.
Now that the seedbox is working permanently, each new release will be automatically added to it and downloaded instantly. This basically means that there will be no more dead torrents and we’ll get an huge boost in terms of potential seeders.
During this period of time, I’ve also set up a small Donate section which contains a form for donating money to the project — the page explains how the money will be used in details -including prices for each server- and also contains a progress bar which gets updated every time someone sends new funds. You know, I’ve started this project for fun and all, but I’m having quite an hard time in paying the bills so if you feel like donating I’d really appreciate your help.
Other than that, I want to say thank you to all the people that keep the community alive uploading new awesome releases and seeding torrents. Happy listening and seeding!

After we experienced some server issues and upgraded to the latest WordPress and bbPress versions, the forums were completely unable to work — no shared login anymore and some PHP errors prevented it from even loading at all.
Fortunately now it’s all back online and running without any problems.
As a side note, registrations are now closed. We will soon remove all unused (or abused) accounts, and since it will be an automated task, if you notice your account has been deleted and you’re not sure why, just contact me and we’ll see what can be done.
Also, we’re probably going to give out registration invites to the most active members of the community in the future, just like all private trackers do, so stay tuned on this blog for news about that.
Anyway, the site seems more responsive than before, so I hope you guys and gals will enjoy it now more than ever.

Turn on the console, throw a game in there, press START to begin. It could be an old favorite, or one you aren’t familiar with at all. You could be playing along or with co-op. But, that is how a game is typically started.
But it’s the best games that suck you in and keep you there. It takes many factors, and there’s almost always one that is overlooked: what you’re hearing.
The music helps. The music shouldn’t just add atmosphere, but enhance it. But it should be able to stand on its own.
I believe these picks are only some of the best that are out there, but I highly recommended them. So without further ado, and in no particular order…
