Halo Wars
Music In Games Is Being Taken Seriously
The games market is certainly on the increase there is no doubt about that, if you look it is close to taking over DVD’s and CD sales. Music in video games was just thrown in to make the game sound cool when you are playing it but now it takes just as long to make the soundtrack as an artist takes to record an album if not longer. Why on earth is this happening?
Would films such as Star Wars, Jaws, Avatar be so great without the music in them, I highly doubt it? Although there is no doubt that Star Wars would have made a great film without the music from John Williams it has to be said that it helped to tell the story. Game creators are fully aware that a great soundtrack is going to help them out a lot and the soundtrack is being given more time and money.
How about those games like Halo and COD, the music plays as you enter a certain area of the game or something of importance happens, this really helps to tell the story. This is exactly what happens on the high budget films.
Another important thing to take into consideration is the amount of artists that want to work with games nowadays, instruments that wouldn’t work in a film work perfectly in a game, takebanjos as an example for the much loved Banjo Kazooie franchise.
Albums of the game soundtracks are being released and even better they are being purchased and the soundtracks are made from all kinds of instruments from electro acoustic guitars to the simple electric guitars.
As the years go by it would seem that video game music is becoming more and more important. So there you have it, lets hope that games see better music in the near future.

Transformers $3.99 “I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?” deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay’s rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers.

The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spi… |
