Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.

Interesting perspective, I think a bit of balance works better in reviews, too much on on side gets old.
If you are looking for quality storylines read a book.
That's because game journalists aren't qualified to review them.
Just not sure how many games out there would get anything above a 7/10 if we focused as much on storyline as gameplay and how important story really is to us gamers just yet… Should a game be scored lower than one that plays worse but has a terrific story? And how can we justify reviewing Burn Zombie Burn (no story) and then putting lots of emphasis and/or pressure on an action/adventure’s storyline just because it has one?
Enh, I prefer game reviews to leave out a ton of story; that way we're surprised when we actually play it.
