Gaming in Stereo: Lost Planet Friday

[display_podcast]

Lost Plan­et came out ear­ly in the 360’s life span and is still one of my favorite games of this cur­rent gen­er­a­tion. The game was clear­ly made by a Japan­ese devel­op­er for a west­ern audi­ence, there are foot­prints all over. Though despite this being a first attempt at cre­at­ing a game for the west­ern audi­ences, mas­ter mind Kei­ji Ina­fu­ne help cre­ate a game that had a great sin­gle play­er as well as a great inter­na­tion­al online com­mu­ni­ty. Lost Plan­et was one of the first games I played on Xbox Live and I made a lot of inter­na­tion­al friends due to the pop­u­lar­i­ty of the game across the pond. Today’s track comes from the collector’s edi­tion that I have and sad­ly is the only way to get the sound­track. The good news is they are on Ama­zon for twen­ty bucks, which I will link. Bat­tle Ready by Aki­hiko Nari­ta and Shu­ji Uchiya­ma is the main theme from the game, enjoy!
