SOUND FOR VIDEO GAMES

Psychology of Sound
Name a game where the sound really stood out for you. Make a list of why you
remember it.
Crysis 2. I remember the theme music in this game because it was making an
atmosphere. The main theme music is memorable for me because it is a mix
of classic and electronic music. Other sound like a background music and
environment sound also was making a good atmosphere where you were
playing.
