Rock Band’s Final Downloadable Song Is Absolutely Perfect
Back when I was in high school, we had the same DJ at every school dance. His name was Ben Skirvin, and as he was a DJ at a local radio station, he went by the handle “Swervin’ Ben Skirvin”.
Skyrim’s Composer Is Kickstarting His New Album
Jeremy Soule, the composer of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is a genius. Kotaku named his work in Skyrim one of the best game soundtracks of 2011, and with good reason; his ability to bring game worlds to life through his music and deeply immerse players into the adventure is truly remarkable.

This Assassin’s Creed IV Rap Drops Rhymes From Kingston To Bristol
If you follow video games, you’re probably aware of Dan Bull, the Brit rapper who drops sick rhymes about the hottest new video games. Or, you know, “sick”, if you’re not that into this sort of kitschy thing.
The Journey Composer Walks You Through His Entire Soundtrack
Journey wasn’t just one of the best games of 2012, it also had easily one of the best soundtracks. Composer Austin Wintory assembled a remarkable collection of instruments and tonalities, the sort of holistic musical concoction we rarely get in games.
