Spend monday day dreaming.

Today's track is The Windmill Song from Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

Please note due to copyright issues I can not make this song available for you to download directly.

This is the song from the first level of Klonoa on the Playstation 1. Klonoa was one of the first 2.5D games and was a fantastic platformer in its own right. With a deep story and lovable characters this game series is still held in high regard by fans today. There is also a remake of the first game in the series that has recently been released on the Wii with updated graphics and sound which should be released in NA May 5th 2009!

Sorry this one's late coming up but here are your gaming weeks from the OLR community:

Each week we'll ask you what your gaming week is on twitter. Send a reply to @olr and let us know how your week went!

Kick! Punch! Block! Chop!

Today's track is Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap from Parappa the Rapper

Please note due to copyright issues I can not make this song available for you to download directly.

What can I say about PaRappa the Rapper, basically that it was the pioneer of Rhythm actions games, combining simple button pressing gameplay in rhythm with the music it had. It inspired games like the BEMANI Series (DDR, Beatmania, etc.), Frequency and Amplitude, Pump it up, and such. Not too many people played PaRappa in its days, but it became a classic nonetheless. Good thing more people can play it since it has a remake version on the PSP.  One of the most memorable tracks in the game is Master Onion's rap, with its Oriental theme and lyrical rapping makes it a something like a "Kung-Fu Fighting" homage.
