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.
The game which the sound stood out for me was skyrim. This is because the
music fitted in really well with what was going on and the genre of the music
was different to what you would think you would here in most games. Also the
in game sounds stood out for me because the sounds were really clear and
made the game much better.
