Today, on the Fourth of July, we are celebrating Independence Day properly…
Well, on Episode 22, we celebrated the Fourth of July with video games about America in some form. This year, we’re celebrating with video games that highlight independence and freedom: a colony sailing to the New World, Allied Forces fighting against power-hungry regime, and a one-man army up fighting to take back America. Of course, we’ve got covers and remixes to follow each track.
Fire up the grill, cook up some burgers and hot dogs, and enjoy the music freely…
