All of the music community was saddened last night to hear legendary film composer, John Barry, had passed away. A composer of over one hundred film scores, John Barry was perhaps most famous for all of his work on the James Bond series of films composing many of the earlier Bond films and arranging the…

What an amazing year 2010 was for the world of game music! It may very well have been the best yet. I speak for everyone here at OSV when I say that picking our favorite scores was among the most agonizing decisions we had made in recent memory. Though picking out the best score is…

Following the success of ‘Splosion Man, Twisted Pixel has gone ever further out of the box in delivering Comic Jumper, a side-scrolling romp with some 3D sequences and a sharp sense of humor. Instead of the homicidally, adorable, flaming protagonist, we now have a dim-witted, arrogant nincompoop with a loud-mouthed asshole sidekick, Star. Though I…

In a seemingly impossible feat, Modern Warfare 2‘s ridiculous sales numbers were toppled by its series successor, Call of Duty: Black Ops. By nearly all accounts, it boasts a more interesting narrative and holds its ground unapologetically in the multiplayer space. Hans Zimmer blasted our faces with his themes in last year’s Modern Warfare 2,…

With the exception of some rehashed film music, Danny Elfman’s only real foray into the world of video game music is 2005’s Fable. Even still, he only provided the main theme of the game which – compared to Danny Elfman’s usual work – was fairly pedestrian. The rest of the score was composed by Lionhead’s…

The mid-late 1980s was a godsend for fans of action films. The era that produced Rambo, Aliens, Die Hard, and Lethal Weapon also produced [convicted] John McTiernan’s other great masterpiece, Predator. Though many of these films were haphazardly riddled with dated licensed tunes, it is no shocker that this era also saw the rise of…

One of my favorite aspects of the PlayStation 3 XMB is when one highlights a game and is treated to an animated sequence within the highlighted are and a full-screen backdrop of the game, all the while an excerpt from the game’s soundtrack scores the experience. It was here where I often first experienced several…
