This is the scene where Ethan loses his son Jason in the mall. He tries to find him in the crowd and keeps screaming Jasons name. While you are looking for Jason, the music gets more dramatic.

Robot unicorn Attack

Game Title: Robot unicorn Attack
Your name: Jethro Jongeneel
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
First time playing this game you'll find the soundtrack rather catching.

But I can tell you, when someone, who's in the same room as you are, plays this game for more than an hour, with sound, you'll go nuts.

This old classic by Erasure is looped forever… and ever.

Always this song is gonna be with you… ARGH!

Pokemon

Game Title: Pokemon
Your name: Chiel
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
The tune is really high and gives me a really bad headache when I listen to it for to long. It is just as annoying as the high sound they use to get rid of the birds in a certain area.

Penumbra

Game Title: Penumbra
Your name: Astrid Huntjens
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description:
Penumbra has a very strong use of audio, because what you hear is correct: you hear the right sound when opening a door, or when moving a mattress. It's really important to have audio that's recognizable, because if it sounds too different from what you're used to, you won't take the game too seriously. I know I would not. I'm scared to death when I play Penumbra because the sounds, and also the ambient music/sound, sounds so real, and scary. The experience would be so different if the sounds were plain stupid/irritating. It wouldn't scare me that much anymore.

The Wand of Gamelon

Game Title: Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
Your name: Hung Pham
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
Wow, where to start. The first thing you will notice is the music, it totally does not enhance your gaming experience. It's the same beat over and over again, it drives you nuts. The sounds effects are even worse. Every kill is the same sound, and that's for every creature. A swordslash sounds like a small fart or something and exploding bomb sound they really have a bad day.

Tomcat Alley

Game Title: Tomcat Alley
Your name: Tom Weeland
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
Go to 3 minutes in the clip for some gameplay. The sounds themselves aren't that bad at all, especially not considering this game is from 1993. But there is so much background noise which can really become irritating after a while. Especially the loud static whenever you press the fire button and the loud beep in between movies. Apart from that I love this game though. Had good times with it back when I was little.

Monster Hunter Tri

Game Title: Monster Hunter Tri
Your name: Hung Pham
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description:
What makes this pretty for me that it's very immersive, whether you walk into the jungle or on the beach, if you listen closely to the diversity and richness of sounds surrounding you, you really feel you are in a jungle or on a beach. The sounds that the monsters make seem right and are quite powerful, which makes you feel small in the world of monster hunter. The music is equally epic and really fits the mood of the game.

Enemy Territory

Game Title: Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Your name: Eonfge
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
Some samples of voicechat in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. The voice sound it self got mixed reviews, but that's from a rating standpoint. What it lacks in great quality, it makes up for with use: Clear voices with enough variation and strength to attract the player. Some will disagree but no game makes such good and amusing use of voice chat as ET.

Urban Terror

Game Title: Urban Terror
Your name: Eonfge
Pretty or ugly: Ubly
Description:
Some samples of voicechat in Urban Terror. Although the game is very good, and it has a large player base, the voice sound is bad. It's of low quality and it's just no good addition. It doesn't demand any attention, something that's essential in a game like UT.

Aion

Game Title: Aion
Your name: Mitchell Karna
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description:
The sound and music in Aion was to me, pretty much impressive. It's catchy and enjoyable to listen too. It also gives it a fantasy feeling, that makes the game even more enjoyable to play, even though the grinding sux.
