Team Fortress 2
When Valve, the creators of the Half-Life series, released the inconspicuous Orange Box with the three titles Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 in 2007, it was assumed that the latter two games would only be decorative accessories. Looking back on these milestones in video game history today, 13 years later, the second episode of the shooter series about Gordon Freeman pales into insignificance by contrast and one thinks back wistfully to the story of the murderous artificial intelligence GLaDOS and the countless skirmishes between the RED and BLU teams. As you can see from the title of this review, today I want to talk about the music in Team Fortress 2.

Sacred
Sacred dates back to 2004 and is therefore officially old - which doesn't bode well for me, as I was born in 1992. But unlike many other games from that time, even back then Sacred had already looked out of date and the years really haven't done the German Diablo clone any good visually. Ironically, I would still prefer to play the progenitor again today instead of the successors, of which the third game in particular should only have a few fans. However, if you want good hack-and-slay, you're better off with other series and probably even better with the genre primus Diablo.

Neverwinter Nights 2
Wenn mich mal jemand fragen sollte, ob ich ein gutes, klassisches Rollenspiel empfehlen könnte – was zwar keiner tut, aber einfach mal gesetzt dem Fall, dass – wäre meine direkte Antwort wohl „Neverwinter Nights 2“. Denn kaum ein anderes Game, was ich gespielt habe, schreit einem so direkt Dungeons & Dragons ins Gesicht. Von der klassischen Heldenreise über die Party mit unterschiedlichen Charakteren, Klassen und Völkern bis hin zum pausierbaren Kampfsystem und der Fantasy-Welt bietet das Werk der Story-Veteranen von Obsidian Entertainment (Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Pillars of Eternity, uvm.) genau das, was Pen and Paper am PC bedeutet.
