Whether you take notice to it or not, music is an intricate part of the video games we play today. It’s music that keeps us motivated and drives us to keep playing; it draws us into the atmosphere of the game. Behind all great video game music, are the composers who leave their mark in video games and in our hearts and minds with their musical scores, forever impacting the overall gaming experience.

Now this is my dream job.

Although Harry Gregson-Williams got famous for a couple songs but they are pretty fantastic.

doctorstrange5095d ago

That would definitely be an awesome dream job

Comet5095d ago

Greg Edmonson did a fantastic job with Uncharted 2's score...
I can't help but take another listen ;D

justpassinggas5095d ago

Mitsuda over the rest.

Uematsu, IMO, is overrated. Listen to the soundtrack from Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross and bring tell me any FF game that has a better musical score.

AKS5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

I'm a huge fan of Mitsuda as well, but this is a work of greatness by Uematsu:

Uematsu is great too, but his songs can only set the mood.

But they don't create an atmosphere like Mitsuda's does.

Just play Xenogears, and you'll know what I mean. ^_^

Harry Gregson-Williams is brilliant for his work on the Metal Gear Solid series. I love Mitsuda Yoshinori for his brilliant work on Chrono Cross. It, put simply was brilliant. A couple of other brilliant composers are Naruke Michiko for her work on the Wild ARMs series since the PSone, and on the PS2. I also recognise the composers for the King's Field games on PSone and PS2; The company called Sound KIDs Corp. Their two composers Kouji Endou and Kaoru Kono deserve HUGE merit for their work. Some of the most brilliant music composition I've ever heard. The ending theme for King's Field 2 in North America is one of the best ending themes I've ever heard.

how are they not going to mention hans zimmer... the man did do the soundtrack for modern warfare 2. As well as many big blockbuster films. He is on the level of harry gregson williams.

Picking a favorite Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack is impossible, especially the middle Final Fantasy titles.

rCrysis5095d ago

Nobuo is the best man! His works at Square/Soft were the most beauteous music I've ever heard.

I hope he does another Game OST soon. I'm dying for newer works from him.

coolfool5095d ago

He is writing most of the tracks for that.

JonnyBigBoss5095d ago

Such great music. I love FF and MGS music the most personally.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing691d 22h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 21h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal1d 20h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 19h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 17h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing11d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
