Today's sing-talkingest video: Mushroom Singdom
GameJew sings three short songs about retro Nintendo games in this seven-minute video. Part of his Mushroom Singdom series, we liked the catchy song about Yoshi's Story best. Take a break from that other videogame of the moment with this clip. (We won't even name or link it, Voldemort-style.)See the video after the break. (And also watch his latest from the Mushroom Singdom series.)[Image credit]
Mushroom Singdom adds a soundtrack to VC reviews
Though we host our own video reviews of Virtual Console releases every Monday, it doesn't hurt to have a second opinion on these matters, or in this case, a singing opinion. The affable Jonathan Mann, or GameJew as some of you might know him, has been picked up by GameVideos to produce original ditties summarizing his experiences with the Virtual Console's offerings. Even when describing how bored he was with a particular title, his songs still manage to be entertaining and catchy!Maybe we should jump on this bandwagon with a few video-game-themed rap remixes of our own? How about "C.R.E.A.M. (Cratermaze Rules Everything Around Me"? Or "Dear Metroid?" No? Well, if you'd rather stick with something more traditional, you can check out GameJew's Mushroom Singdom reviews past the post break.
X-Play: The Musical ... yeah, you read that right
If there is anything that we've learned over the years: Musicals make everything better! Buffy the Vampire Slayer did it well and so did Scrubs, so why not the last video game review show (worth mentioning) X-play? The show has always been cheeky, like their The Breakfast Club episode and such, so this musical episode isn't really that insane. We're not even going to say it's part of G4's identity crisis. Honestly, this episode might secretly be designed to spite the network and its issues.The music was written by GameJew (Jonathan Mann) and produced by Brian Golub. The musical episode is the brainchild of Paul Bonnano, a writer on X-Play who obviously misses when the show was still in San Francisco, a place with some redeeming culture, instead of Los Angeles. The episode will premiere Feb. 5 at 8PM on G4, then will subsequently repeat ad infinitum on the network. X-play isn't taking themselves seriously here and neither will we, definitely worth a TiVo just to see Sessler sing.
