BT writes: As anyone who reads the majority of my writings can attest, I have a strong love for the music in video games. In fact about half of the songs I listen to when I just decide to play music are video game tunes I like. Among these songs, one type that I’ve always been fond of is the well-done character theme. Character themes have the added difficulty of fitting the character they were written for in addition to just being a good song in their own right. So when I find a good one, the effort needed to make it work makes me appreciate the song that much more. In that spirit, I’m listing my favorite character themes from gaming here. The only condition is one theme per series, so let’s get started.
One of the most beloved entries in Square Enix’s long-running franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary and that’s cause for celebration!

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
