Split-Screen: "Most people know the evil, bald, ham-talking Kane from Command and Conquer. After all, he's only one of the cheesiest video game characters alive. However, did you know Joe Kucan, the man who plays him, is the director of Command and Conquer? His role as Kane got him into the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008 book as the longest recurring actor in any video game franchise to date, especially when he'll reprise his role as the transhumanist messiah in Command and Conquer 4. Kucan was at CommandCon recently and lovingly reminisced about just how he took on Kane's mantel. Check out the video for the full story."

Timothy Michael Wynn has scored music in the video game industry since 2005. He has worked on known game franchises like Command & Conquer, Warhawk and Red Fraction. You might have heard his work on CW’s Supernatural. His best work was in Warhawk as gave its vibrant atmosphere that suit it’s military theme. It’s Wynn’s behind the scenes work that helped make the game stand out from the rest, but do fans notice? Do people look at soundtracks as a whole or as background noise?
They may only get appreciation from a small group of gamers, but their importance is imperative. They can save a game, make a great game epic or leave good game feeling undone. While I have never personally listened to soundtracks on their own, I know the soundtracks of my favorite games very well and often hear it it my sleep or throughout the day. It's similar to the nostalgic feeling that songs conjure up years later. If I hear a track I spent countless hours of my life listening to, I am immediately transported back to that time.
It really depends. Much of it is just there to enhance the scene, slow for sad, fast for excitment, whatever, and you never really get to hear it. But the truly memorable songs really do something for a game. The Halo theme is very recognizable, and the song that's playing as you go into into Mexico in RDR works wonderfully.
