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!

Star Wars: Hunters

30. June 2024 /

After the free-to-play arena shooter Star Wars: Hunters had already completed its soft launch on Android in India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia and Indonesia in 2021, it took another three years and various postponements before the game was also released for Switch and iOS this June. The reviews so far have been relatively mixed, so the extra time does not necessarily seem to have helped the mobile Overwatch imitation.

Overwatch 2

3. December 2022 /

Nachdem mein Bruder zuletzt in die Bresche gesprungen ist, um die vakante Stelle der Games-Review zu befüllen, ist es Zeit, dass ich auch mal wieder etwas Spielebezogenes schreibe. Das war zumindest mein Gedanke, als ich mich vors Word-Dokument gesetzt habe. Nur über was? Neue Spiele habe ich lange nicht mehr angerührt, der Shortcut zu Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice liegt seit Wochen auf dem Desktop und hat ungefähr so viel Aussicht darauf, angemacht zu werden, wie ich im Club.
