We hope you had a lovely time celebrating Valentine's Day this week. Because of such a love-filled occasion, I decided to arrange this month's video game music playlist with a lot of soft and emotion-stirring tunes fit for setting the mood.
As well as recruiting the usual suspects, like RPG themes played during tender moments, we also selected a few (considerably) odder choices just to inject some energy amidst the slow tempo. Take a listen for yourself while you light up some candles in a dimly-lit room scented with potpourri.
