10 Best Gaming Soundtracks Of 2012

6. Journey

Journey

Winner of several Game of the Year awards, Journey was claimed a 'masterpiece' of gaming. It is one of the reasons many call gaming art, and from its stunning visuals and breathtaking score - you can see why.

Journey was compared to a moving painting, but its sights were not the only aspects to fall in love with. Composed by Austin Wintory, the score of Journey consists of a slow, deep cello; leading to a full orchestra of sound and beauty. Its score can vary from the haunting of strings, to exuberant pieces of adventure and joy.

When people say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I sincerely disagree. It is unanimous across the world that Journey is a beautiful game, and its soundtrack is just another piece of evidence for it. Though the story may not be the best, or the characters the most loved, Journey succeeds in everything it does. It deserves to be remarked as one of the best games of the year, and all the soundtrack is is proof of it.
