The Evolving Medium of Game Music

If you’re a regular reader or friend, you’ll know that game and film music are areas that I pay close attention to and collect. Game Music has long been an under-appreciated and sometimes looked down-upon form of media. As game music has evolved to become more and cinematic or exploratory in it’s themes it has gained legitimacy in the form of major awards and other types of recognition. Going along with this, several “game composers” have crossed over to “main-stream” success in the film world. Rock Paper Shotgun examines this evolution in game music.
