Review—FAR CRY PRIMAL OST: Picking The Meat Off The Bones
March 08, 2016 16:15Jason Graves is responsible for some of the most intense video game music that has ever graced our ears (Dead Space series, Tomb Raider, Until Dawn), and Far Cry: Primal is every bit as hardcore as you’d expect.

February 16, 2016 16:15As storytelling is at the core of what Telltale Games delivers, the music plays an even more important part in the execution of the experience. I had a good time with Minecraft: Story Mode, but even more than the game itself, I enjoyed the music behind each scene. From building to battling to searching for my lost pet pig, the music did a great job of setting the tone and atmosphere for each setting. I caught up with Antimo & Welles, the composers behind the music of this series. They talk...

FALLOUT 4 — An Interview with Courtenay Taylor: Voice of the Lone Survivor
February 02, 2016 16:00One of the best parts of modern gaming is the way the actors deliver performances that give the characters such a believable, personal, and relatable element. Such a talent was required with Bethesda’s latest Fallout installment, as they made a specific effort to infuse the experience of survival in The Commonwealth with a lot more emphasis on story this time. Courtenay Taylor, as per usual, brought an incredible performance to Fallout 4 that exhibits a staggering amount of versatility and ...

HALO: THE FALL OF REACH — An Interview with Composer Tom Salta
January 12, 2016 18:00In this week’s episode, I talk to Tom Salta about his work in the Halo series over recent years. His story further establishes how there really is no Point A to Point B approach to achieving a career in music, as he didn’t initially set out to be a soundtrack composer.

Halo: The Fall of Reach is an animated film that depicts the origins of the ...
GRIM FANDANGO — An Interview with Composer Peter McConnell
January 05, 2016 17:00One of the coolest things to happen to games over the past few years is the ability to upgrade classic games for new and returning audiences. We’ve seen games like Shadow of the Colossus and Final Fantasy X get amazing HD re-releases. We always get an upgrade in visuals, sometimes we get an upgrade in mechanics, but my favorite is when the score gets a huge overhaul. That is the case with Grim Fandango Remastered by Double Fine, and the results are just as beautiful as you’d expect from th...

EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE RAPTURE — An Interview with Composer Jessica Curry
December 16, 2015 17:00You would be hard pressed to find a Top 10 soundtracks list from the games of 2015 that doesn’t feature this amazing score from master composer Jessica Curry. The gameplay in Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is beautiful, mysterious, occasionally melancholy, and always intriguing. The music plays a major role in why the concept of this game was executed so well. In this interview, Jessica talks about her experience with initially dabbling in more synthesizer style work for Rapture, how disc...
