“Burnout” – a sound design retrospective with Ben Minto

To end this month of "Burnout", I thought it might be fun to reinterpret the theme title and take a look at the sound design for a classic series of racing games that bear the same name.

Exclusive Interview with the Audio Team of "Alan Wake"

Alan Wake is definitely one of my favorite games of 2010, both for the game itself and for the sound of it, which is really detailed and interesting from start to end. The game was just re-released via Xbox Live’s “Games On Demand”, complete with all eight episodes (6 from the boxed game plus 2 from DLC), so there's no a better time to revisit the amazing audio experience of … [Read more...]

More About the Sound of "Crackdown 2"

The October's issue of Developer Magazine is now available in the official website. This time, our beloved "Heard About" section includes an article about the sound of Crackdown 2, with Kristofor Mellroth, who we interviewed some days ago. When Kristofor Mellroth enrolled at music recording school in 1995, he probably never dreamt that in just a few year’s time he’d be heading … [Read more...]

Alan Rankin on the Sound Design of "Alan Wake"
