If Nintendo fans should know any Tales of game, it’s Tales of Symphonia. The series’ first 3D entry was a success on the Gamecube and endeared itself as one of the finest RPGs on the system. While I’ll always praise the cast and combat, another important element here is the…

Over the course of 2020, Sega celebrated its 60th anniversary in style, with plenty of merch and even a teeny tiny Game Gear. Now, to potentially close things out, the company is releasing a celebratory album that covers video game sounds from across the decades. I say “sounds” generally because…
