Fallout 3

Game Title: Fallout 3
Your name: Nicodemus
Pretty or ugly: Pretty!
Description: This super awesome trailer for the even more super awesome game Fallout 3 contains old-school (40′s, 50′s and 60′s) music and also propaganda from this time in history. The corresponding music even continues to play in-game on your portable radio. This results in gameplay where you are shooting mutants while listening to Bob Crosby & the Bobcats or Billie Holiday

drake’s fortune

Game Title: Uncharted: drake's fortune
Your name: Laurens de Gier
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: I just love the sound in Uncharted: drake's fortune, because of several reasons. In the beginning you'll here the waterfall going from speaker to speaker depending on where it is in the level (although it doesn't sound that great with these speakers). Second is that the voice of Sully is also placed in the level itself. So it sounds like it's from far away. The third one is just the regular sound, because it captures the mood perfectly.

Halo 3 ODST

Game Title: Halo 3 ODST
Your name: Laurens de Gier
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: My example of bad sound design. Don't mind the narrator, that's not important. I just couldn't make this video by myself. Also sorry that it's a bad quality

In this video you'll here two examples of bad sound design. The first is that you'll here two voices talking at the same time (not including the narrator). The second is that you'll here a guy talking about a weak spot on the back of the wraith when the wraith is already destroyed. Although in this movie the second wraith appears at that time, but if you play the scene on your own you can see for yourself that they're not talking about the second one.

Everyday Shooter

Game Title: Everyday Shooter
Your name: Bart Jan Bultman
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: Everyday Shooter is an arena shooter, but not just an ordinary one. In Everyday Shooter every killed enemy or points collected become sounds embedded in the music. This way the player has, even though they might not notice it at first, a lot of control over the music.

Somehow, it doesnt really matter how well you play. The game always makes it sound nicely.

It's just awesome! why? Because!

Anno 1602

Game Title: Anno 1602
Your name: Gerard Bossenbroek
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: However I liked to play this game, there are some very annoying sound effects in it. Most building sounds are just some odd clicks or sounds that make no sense, and in the background there are annoying sounds like the one of some kind of bird, that always make the same noise…

Legend of Zelda – A Link to the past

Game Title: Legend of Zelda – A Link to the past
Your name: Roos Schultheiss
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: I think it's really annoying how the soundtrack of the battle and the sound of Link swinging his sword gets really repetative and annoying. I know it's an old game but still I think it's annoying as hell. The part I mean is between 0:50 and 2:10.
