Scurge: Hive is an ambitious action-adventure game from Orbital Media, released on the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS. It initially received lukewarm reviews but has since gained a cult following for its Metroid-like atmosphere and astounding Jake Kaufman soundtrack. Join Ed and Cam Werme for a dissection of the game’s music and discover the story behind Jenosa’s fight to save the galaxy from the malicious, sentient Scurge infection!
