Hi, it's great that you've found your way to this site and are taking the time to read this text. In fact, I don't want to keep you for long, there's a lot to discover (not necessarily just here, the Internet is vast and full of wonders). But if you want to take a look around here, I'd be very happy if you did. What you can expect: a bunch of texts about video games and most importantly soundtracks. Being born in 92 I was blessed growing up with gems like The Settlers 2, Half-Life 2, and the Flight Simulator 98 . Back then, I played pretty much everything on the PC that my gaming fingers could get their hands on.

What has always fascinated me most about video games, films and series was the music. Because of the music from The Sims I began playing the piano. Unfortunately, my talent was at a similar level to my strategic understanding of Anno 1602I started collecting soundtracks when I got my first PC. My collection now comprises almost 2800 albums (as of April 2023), and my goal is to have heard them all - heard and rated them. Why? A simple collecting instinct and the desire to make musical discoveries.

But because this really does involve a lot of work and, above all, time, I would like to share my experiences with you. Of course, like any form of art, music is subjective. But if you hear Call of Duty 2 does that make you think of good music? Or did you know that the same composer of Dragon Age: Origins and Crysis ? Or that the piano pieces from the above-mentioned Sims was in fact freestyled? Well now you do. I promise no revelations, no ultimate ratio. Just my opinion and my knowledge. Partly nostalgically glorified, always subjectively colored. If that's enough for you, you'll find a few tips and hints for good and bad music on this website. For a condensed impression of the wonderful world of game music, I recommend taking a look at my list of Top 100 video game tracks, in which I (obviously) list the my 100 best titles from video games. Have fun browsing!

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

30. January 2023 /

Wie ich in meiner Review zum Vorgänger The Elder Scrolls: Arena bereits deutlich gemacht habe, wurde die Elder-Scrolls-Reihe erst mit dem vierten Teil, Oblivion, für mich ein Thema. Entsprechend wenig kann ich zum Spiel sagen und zitiere deshalb kurz einen Fakt aus dem Elder-Scrolls-Wiki, den ich interessant fand: The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall zeichnet sich vor allem dadurch aus, dass es die wohl größte Simulation aller PC-Spiele darstellt. Die riesige Fantasy-Welt, die ohne Pen & Paper-Hintergrund von Bethesda entwickelt wurde, bietet ein Areal, dessen Fläche doppelt so groß wie Großbritannien ist. Sie kann sowohl mit einem Pferd als später auch einem Schiff erkundet werden und in ihr sind über 5000…
