Soundtrack Sunday<\/div>\n

Welcome to Soundtrack Sunday<\/a>, where a member of the PC Gamer team takes a look at a soundtrack from one of their favourite games\u2014or a broader look at videogame music as a whole\u2014offering their thoughts or asking for yours!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you couldn’t tell from all the things I’ve written about it, I love <\/em>videogame music. Even before big-budget studios were employing whole-ass orchestras to perform grand symphonies, composers were making full use of synthesizers and sound chips to create pieces that would’ve had Beethoven telling all his pals “Have you heard that One Winged Angel? It’s pretty good.”<\/p>\n

Videogame music is home to so many bangers that it would be a huge disservice if they were forever confined to the games they were created for, which is where the humble videogame concert comes in. It’s a chance to hear your favourite tracks brought to life by an in-person orchestra, often complemented by visuals from the game and maybe even a guest appearance from the composer themselves.<\/p>\n
