Game music/list/music/The Friday 10/Top 10

Let’s talk about music this week, shall we? A good soundtrack can add so much to a game, especially when that music is used in such a way that it helps emphasise and support the narrative, action and art. And yet people often gloss over the music. It might affect…

I am going to really, really like Lost Dimension. Due for release later this month, I’ve had some early hands-on time with the game, and although it’s clearly a budget production for a console that is now unable to hide its age, this is alsoa game that clearly has a…
