Dec 29th
Russ Frushtick at MTV Multiplayer was following the progress of a musical group that wanted to remake the music in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with a real orchestra. Today, he reports, they’ve finally finished their work.
The Zelda Reorchestrated project (a.k.a. ZREO) first got started six years ago when a 14-year-old had the brilliant idea to redo all the music in the game with an orchestra. Now, 82 tracks later, the idea is real and you can listen to it yourself.
As of a month ago, we were only short a handful of songs to complete the album, however, many of the songs from Ocarina of Time were not nearly up to par with others, so we decided to go through the album, song by song, and figure out which songs needed to be remade. It started out as five, then ten, twelve. The list grew and grew till we reached a whopping 22 tracks. Today, we release those additional 22 remakes.
Frushtick rightly points out that this work is in no way protected from a take-down notice from Nintendo (though I’m sure the more clever legal minds out there could make a case for fair use). So get it while it’s hot in download form or pop over to Zelda Reorchestrated just to sample their work. Really, it’s pretty neat.

Jul 22nd
Twisted Pixel pushed its way onto the Xbox LIVE Arcade scene earlier this year with The Maw. An original title based on an original IP, we thought it was pretty damned impressive for the studio’s first effort.
Its sophomore effort, another original Xbox LIVE Arcade title called ‘Splosion Man, looks to continue the studio’s tradition of working with unique and original IP. When it was announced earlier this year, we thought it was a joke — the studio pitched it as a game about as an exploding man who does lots of exploding and explodes scientists into pieces of tasty steaks.
Really.
It had our attention, for sure. But is ‘Splosion Man, the game that kicks off Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade, any good? Hit the jump to find out, and excuse how many times we use varations of the word “explode.”
’Splosion Man (Xbox LIVE Arcade)
Developer: Twisted Pixel
Price: 800 MS Points
To be released: July 22, 2009
If you’ve already read our preview, go ahead and skip over the next few paragraphs, or excuse the redundancy. ’Splosion Man follows the adventure of an experiment gone wrong: a lab rat is turned into an unstable and combustible anti-hero, hell-bent on escape from a locked-down underground facility. Security, as you’d expect, is tight. And it includes lasers. Killer robots. Moving platforms that move up, down, left, and right at varying speeds.
