Gish

Game Title: Gish
Your name: Brian
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: For a blob, Gish doesn't make a lot of noise. The times that he does, they are unconvincing, bland and repetative. The mediocre soundtrack doesn't make up for much either. .

World of Warcraft

Game Title: World of Warcraft
Your name: Ronald Houtermans
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: Everey skill I use in the game has a different audio sound. This way I can hear what I'm doing without actually looking at all the skillbars and cooldowns. Also, I can hear what enemies are doing around me. Each area has a different music theme, and it fades into eachother when I fly from one area to another. There is always some audio in the game, be in the wind, music or just the environment. This makes the game a lot more lively. .

Quake 3 Arena

Game Title: Quake 3 Arena
Your name: Berry
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: This game gives you good feedback by audio. Everything you do has it's own particular sound for example picking up health packages. The voice you hear saying something like "you have lost the lead" really adds something to the game. .

Space Invaders Extreme

Game Title: Space Invaders Extreme
Your name: Björn Spies
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: Space Invaders Extreme is in my opinion an example of a good soundtrack with matching sound effects (Sound effects like shots fired and the enemies you hit.). It adds something to the overall experience and feeling of the game. .

F.E.A.R.

Game Title: F.E.A.R.
Your name: Rick van Ginkel
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: The first few seconds of the movie show some really scary stuff. The audio effects and the girl's giggling really add something extra to the creepy atmosphere. Also notice the male voice saying "you deserve to die, they all deserve to die" while you as a player have no clue where this is coming from. .

Anno 1701

Game Title: Anno 1701
Your name: Pieter Dirk Greeuw
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Whenever a "disaster" occurs in the game a loud overwhelming sound plays even if the disaster doesn't threaten you directly. When the disaster is no longer on your screen the sound fades away but as soon as you go near it with your FoV you hear the sound again. Also it plays so loud you can hardly hear the other sounds that effect you directly. .

Oblivion IV

Game Title: Oblivion IV
Your name: Pieter Dirk Greeuw
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: The sound you hear in the game tells you what is going on around. When the game is in a normal state you hear only the background music, when you are in danger or close by an enemy it switches to a completely different sound to make you aware of it. If you lvl up or raise a skill a small sound makes you aware of it even when you are busy fighting or doing something else. .

Candy Mountain Massacre

Game Title: Candy Mountain Massacre
Your name: Ronald Houtermans
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The sounds that the enemies make are not fitting to their character. The music playing in the background is..not enough in the background. It is merely working on my nerves and not providing a 'relaxed' game experience. The gun sounds are cheap, they sound dull.
