High Score: 5 Centimeters Per Second

 I don’t know about anyone else, but throughout my life as an anime fan, my enthusiasm for it has occasionally waned. The first time it happened was when I tried to watch Macross Plus directly after finishing Neon Genesis Evangelion. It just didn’t compare. Eva had spoiled me completely and nothing I found afterwards could […]

Ireland’s own rockabilly goddess has marked her eagerly awaited return with a teaser video for her new album Tribal , which is set to drop on the 25th of April! Check it out after the break. Andy Kavanagh

High Score: Mirror’s Edge

It’s pretty hard for me to believe that Mirror’s Edge, a bizarre first-person free-running experiment from DICE, came out half a decade ago. It still feels like yesterday that I was falling head over heels in love with its visuals, honing my skills in its challenging, but rewarding, control system and occasionally gnawing through my […]

High Score: Anohana

A little while ago, a little […]

High Score: The Last of Us

I’ve written a lot about Naughty Dog’s magnum opus The Last of Us here on The Arcade. Like, a lot. So even though Gustavo Santaolalla’s incredible score has been on my hit list for a while, I’ve put it off for as long as I could. Truth be told, this week’s High Score could have […]

It’s Monday! Let’s crack out the tunes.  Andy Kavanagh

High Score: Attack on Titan

‘Epic’ is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. Originally reserved for awe-inspiring displays of enormous magnitude, ‘epic’ has since become trivialized to the point of mass delusion; frequently used to describe a well made cheese sandwich or a decent dubstep remix you heard the other day. But sometimes, even in today’s […]

Music Monday: 3/3/2014

Welcome to Music Monday. Get ready to dance awkwardly in your desk chair. Unless, you’re not at work, then just get ready to dance awkwardly because you can’t dance. I’m guessing.  Andy Kavanagh
