Surf Theme Highlighted At OCRemix

Wedge noticed that Team Fat's Wing Commander Surf Theme has been profiled at the classic video game music site OCRemix. There is a bit of commentary on the preview's CES origins here.

This isn't the first time The Fat Man has had his work featuring on OCReMix (the last one piece was from 7th Guest), but this is the first Wing Commander remix I've seen in the more popular game remixing communities. Well, the first proper one, anyway - the actual first one was a direct rip of the Kilrathi Saga re-orchestration. Even though the CIC's reported on the surf theme before, I think the extra exposure - however small - can't be anything but good for the WC community. :)

Prophecy Advance Recirculated

I've noticed that a number of previously sold out locations retailing Prophecy Advance have recently restocked. Last year at E3, the game's publishers told us that Prophecy continued to sell well, but at the time retail stocks seemed to be dwindling. Most notably, Electronics Boutique has gotten additional quantities and is pricing them at only $14.99 in the US. You can put your zip code in here to see if local stores have it in stock. BuyRite comes in second at $17.99. Fry's stores continue to receive new copies, and their online store sells the game for $19.99 to match Amazon/TRU's price. Kaybee continues to be sold out, but some of the smaller sites such as Game Universe, GameZone and Game Asylum still have copies.

For Tuesday we'll planning a special webcam feature for DragonCon 2004 with some funny new pictures. Have a nice day.
