Good songs too. ...I'm actually dumbfounded here. This is awesome.

My personal favourite thus far is her review of Overlord 2 (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/rebecca-mayes-muses/951-Overlord-2), but they're all pretty damn good. Cripes.

In the event you haven't already, check it out. (Besides, The Escapist in general is pretty nifty...)

She's good enough, but I find the songs themselves to be kinda forgettable. I tried watching her videos a couple of times in the past, but just couldn't really get into them. Huh.

She's pretty good. I like the sound of her songs a whole bunch.

She doesn't seem to have a huge musical range, though. And the reviews generally aren't funny, although she might not be going for that.

It would be quite nice if he sang about a game I actually care about.

Personally I perfer this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItTotBfeLT4). Even though this is really the only song he has about a videogame.

Personally, I agree. I liked some of her songs, though.

Also, I'd say her Overlord 2 video was probably the one I liked the least.

Yeah, the videos are mainly a distraction (like music videos in general)- but, the reviews are at least mildly amusing, and heck, I reckon she's a first-rate musical talent.

...Well, I was impressed.

Im personally not a fan. Ive listened to them all and dont get me wrong, they're alright, but every single one of them just seems far too samey.

How can you possibly consider this (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/rebecca-mayes-muses/951-Overlord-2) and this (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/rebecca-mayes-muses/1052-Batman-Arkham-Asylum) to be 'samey'? They're not even the same genre! Cripes!

Look, I know it's a matter of taste, but I just can't see where you're coming from here.

I've listened to all of them. They are fairly entertaining even if its not generally a music style I listed to. While not all of them sound the same, there are several that do sound very much alike.
