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!

Top 100 Video game tracks 2

4. March 2024 /

When I created my first Top 100 videogame tracks almost four years ago, I thought on the one hand that I had put my magnum opus into the world. On the other hand, I was very sure that I would certainly not bother a second time, let alone a third. Almost four years later, I'm about to write my 200th review and feel the need to celebrate in style. And because not only have a bunch of new soundtracks reached the world's auditory canals in the meantime, but I've also been able to catch up on many 'old favorites', the stars seem to have aligned for a second list.

Top 100 Video game tracks

17. April 2020 /

Das ist sie also, die ultimative Liste meiner Top 100 Videospiel-Tracks. Diese Songs sind meiner Meinung die Crème de la crème künstlerisch-kreativen Schaffens von Komponisten, die einer einfachen Software, Nullen uns Einsen, eine Seele einhauchen. Die ein Unterhaltungsprodukt zur Kunstform erheben, die Erinnerungen schaffen - meine Erinnerungen. Deshalb landen auf dieser Liste nicht nur die Blockbuster, die allesamt zurecht bejubelt und gefeiert werden, sondern auch kleine Juwelen, die meine Erinnerungen an die Vergangenheit im Allgemeinen und Kindheitstage im Speziellen wach werden lassen.
