OSVOSTOTY 2012: Winner for Best Re-Issue Soundtrack is…
January 28, 2013 | Patrick Gann | 1 Comment Share this
Reprints, compilation albums, and previously unreleased material. Generally, we love all of these things. When great music becomes unavailable, it’s a problem. On the other hand, a glut of reprints and compilation albums can be too much, so we’re not in the business of celebrating or honoring all of them. But we have three out…

OSVOSTOTY 2012: Winner for Best Other Release is…
January 27, 2013 | Patrick Gann | 2 Comments Share this
Our “Other Release” category — a catch-all miscellaneous category for stuff that isn’t technically game music, but close enough that you all probably know about it — had some great nominees. There were plenty more than six albums to choose from. But we narrowed it to six, and now we’re going to give the bronze…

OSVOSTOTY 2012: Nominees for Best Arrange Album
January 22, 2013 | Patrick Gann | Comments Off on OSVOSTOTY 2012: Nominees for Best Arrange Album Share this
We’re marching forward with OSVOSTOTY 2012! Today’s category, “Best Arrange Album,” is one of my personal favorites. There were a lot of great arranged albums this year, though (as you’ll see in our nominations list) one publisher put the money and time behind this category of music, and they’re reaping the rewards. After the jump,…

OSVOSTOTY 2012: Nominees for Best Re-Issue Soundtrack
January 21, 2013 | Patrick Gann | Comments Off on OSVOSTOTY 2012: Nominees for Best Re-Issue Soundtrack Share this
It’s day 2 of OSVOSTOTY 2012! For today’s category, “Re-Issue” can also cover “Previously Unreleased” territory, and even sound upgrade versions that don’t quite fit the category of “arranged album.” Basically, we’re talking about music written a long time ago, published in 2012. Can you identify these six albums we’ve nominated for best re-issue based…

Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation Soundtrack (Review)
December 26, 2012 | Patrick Gann | 9 Comments Share this
Purchase: iTunes There’s been a big to-do over Ubisoft’s popular Assassin’s Creed series, especially with the October release of Assassin’s Creed III. The game, the setting (American revolution), the concept and the music (Lorne Balfe, taking the reins from Jesper Kyd) were all recognized and praised in their own right. But for me, the truly…

Worth Watching: Jason Graves on (New) Tomb Raider
December 1, 2012 | Patrick Gann | 1 Comment Share this
I just finished watching this, and I thought I’d share it with OSV readers. I’m not sure how I feel about the upcoming Tomb Raider … I have hope that it will be the shot in the arm that the all-but-dead franchise could use. In any case, however, Graves has some really interesting insight here….
