This year we saw a lot of amazing games. Not only were there a lot of big anticipated titles like Fallout 4, Metal Gear Solid V, and The Witcher 3, there were some great titles from smaller developers like Undertale, Ori and the Blind Forest, Life is Strange, and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. Of course with many of these games we also got some excellent soundtracks.

With so many artists and albums worth mentioning, I will have runners up and some special mentions included in my list. So without further fanfare, here are my personal picks for 2015’s Game Soundtrack of the Year and Arrangement Album of the Year. (more…)
