Most titles that come out today, seem to have scores that honestly, should be in the movies. Sometimes when I am playing a new title, I often wonder if maybe it originally was made to be in a specific movie, but was shafted later on in the process. Great music though isn't all that we are looking for. How well does the music fit the game? Does it interact with the player? How about the sound effects and explosions? Do they rock your sub woofer under your desk while it shakes your computer 5 inches to the left every time you blow up a baddy?

Some of the best music I have heard to date, comes from RPG's. It isn't a surprise that Morrowind was going to have a strong musical background. They didn't fall short. When I was playing this game, and my girlfriend wanted me to play the MP3's while she did work on another computer, I pretty much knew that I wasn't alone. Morrowind's music tracks do nothing but bring you deeper into the title. At times I could often just sit back and listen. There were even times I would try and place the music with a movie, or a theme of a movie and how it could have been used. The sound effects were decent, and held the title in check, but it was nothing that made you jump out of your seat. More of the background music as a whole, which is why Morrowind received runner up to a title that screams out interactive thrills.

From the invention of Imuse, Star Wars hits such as Xwing, Tie Fighter, and more, have vanished from the shelves bringing a new realism to sound and music. In Jedi Knight 2, as with previous titles, the music gets more intense as the battles heat up. And who can argue with heart pumping Star Wars tracks? From light saber wooshes, to blaster effects, to the screeching of a AT-ST. Combine that with fast paced music that gets calm or intense based on your gameplay, and you have the best sound effects and music that can be implemented in conjunction with the actual game itself. Definitely one of the best of the best, and I hope at some point other games follow.

This is one of the games that you never hear about until it is on the shelf. Maybe I was behind the times in this one, but I never saw advertisements for this game. Either that, or I confused it for another remake. It was one of the finest films that I watched with my father, where James Arness was a star (although you would have never known it was him), all the way to the John Carpenter remake. Unless you have been living in a cave, or have been spending the last 3 years flinging boogers at a wall while playing EverQuest, I am sure that you know what this title is by now. If you do not, than I suggest you rent or buy the movies. Both versions.

It's another first person shooter, but the storyline and the horror that can cause you to jump out of your seat is right there, just like the first movies. It follows the original movie as much as it can, considering you need a lot of things to shoot at, and the plot is amazingly tricky and reveals itself well. It had quite a stable launch, and has a quick patch that fixes only a couple minor issues. This one is definitely one that should be on the shelves. Especially if you love being scared.
