Music

Music in video games is a subject that I absolutely love and could discuss for hours and hours -- and Blizzard games are, obviously, part of that equation as well.

It's no secret that the music in World of Warcraft is pretty amazing.

Whether it’s the Suicide Mission music from the suicide mission at the end of the game, or the music from the Overlord DLC, or even the music from the final confrontation with the Shadow Broker, Mass Effect 2 had by leaps and bounds the best music in the series and possibly one of the best scores of any video game.

One of the best things about it is the way certain themes and motifs come back in different ways throughout the score, and I’m finding new ones as I listen to it.

Every game has to think about its ludonarrative options -- the way its gameplay is used to tell a story vs.
