Gaming Music

I had someone mention video game music to me in my previous post and I loved it for a lot of reasons.  Many people know have played video games growing up and they know there familiar songs that are coming on when they’ve reached a certain point in the game! Or sometimes in the main menu, where the music plays and you know what game it is.  There are a lot of games that are older that started with this such as Zelda, Mario, Or Poke’ Mon. I wanted to bring up some of the new games people are know but probably don’t think about very much.  One of my favorite examples is Halo, pacifically Halo 2.  Both the first Halo, second Halo and games after that had a song that would play in the main menu.  It would sound like people singing and would build into music and such until the game was actually picked.  One of my favorite memories for Halo 2, would be when you go into the level outskirts and the music starts to kick up.  The familiar music that came right as the hunters were starting to gather at the door they are breaking down or when you get to the alley ways.

A lot of the same music comes on, and on the other hand you have video games like the assassins creeds where the music flows with whatever task your trying to do.  As you get closer to a target, it just so happens that the music starts to get more intense and depending on what location you are in the game. Whether it be the Middle East or Italy, the music corresponds to the situation which you’d expect. Another game some people might also remember the music from would be Runescape. Entering into the game, you would heard the not so lovely Lumbridge sound that honestly reminds me of when I joined the game 5 years ago. If you ever play a game you’ve not played for a very long time its amazing what memories you can get just from hearing the game startup!  But these are only a couple examples, expand if u have more.
