The Top 10 Best Video Game Soundtracks Every Gamer Should Listen To
Video games are a gateway to many fantastic tales that have powerful stories. Alongside these stories, there’s the music and soundtrack that further helps the narrative of the game and engrosses the player even more. So here’s a Top 10 List of Video Game Soundtracks that are my favourites and are a must-listen. Do keep in mind that this list is based on my opinion which is bound to differ from yours, and I’ve only kept OSTs of games that are more recent, so don’t expect Chrono Trigger here. Doom This soundtrack is perfection. It is thrilling, exhilarating, heart pumping, demon killing, head ripping ecstasy. This is my go to soundtrack whenever I need to get pumped up or need to listen to something badass, but that’s not all about this soundtrack. Mick Gordon, ...
Winners Of The Game Awards 2015
Appearing first at the Spike Video Game Awards, the Geof Keighley produced video game accolades show has taken on many different iterations. Now it exists as an online streaming only live event dubbed simply The Game Awards, and without any of the “riff raff,” the hope is that the winners will all be fitting releases. This year, competition was plenty heated between a handful of games, many of which were years in the making. Fallout 4 was the clear favorite to win any and every award heading into the end of 2015, but games like The Witcher 3 and Metal Gear Solid 5 were not going to go out quietly. And in the end, it wasn’t Bethesda and Fallout 4, but rather CD Projekt Red and The Witcher 3 that came away the big winners. The ambitious RPG experience clearly took the judges by storm and was...

Watch The Witcher 3 Trailer Paint Version
CD Projekt Red had delayed their game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by about three months from February 2015 to May 2015. It took YouTuber Nick McDonalds nearly two months to recreate the game’s 2013 trailer using MS Paint. How freaking awesome is that? And also how much time did this guy have? The Witcher 3 is promising to be a great game. There are actually so many out there right now. Nick’s take on this game is pretty fresh, unique and made me crack up. This little masterpiece is made up of 30 different compositions, each taking Nick around 55 minutes to complete (20 minutes drawing, 35 minutes compositing). He took the help of After Effects for the compositing and character animation. You need to watch the two trailers side by side to know how much work went into Nick’s trail...
