Your name: Rick Dekker
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description:
The beautiful music in PixelJunk Eden attributes greatly to the gameplay and visuals, almost bringing the player in a trance while playing.

Escape Form Bug Island

Game Title: Escape Form Bug Island
Your name: Rick Dekker
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
Except from the blunt and repetitive background music, the sound effects from the enemies and the strange sound effect when the player gets hit, the most ugly part about the music from this video is the terrible transition from combat music to non-combat music.

Extremely repetitive squeeky laser sounds, only one sound for hitting an enemy, one sound for splashing in the water, which volume was too hard.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies

Game Title: Grabbed by the Ghoulies
Your name: Michelle Kusters
Pretty or ugly: ugly
Description:
The sounds in this game are really repetitive, but the most annoying is the 'voices' you hear when someone talks to you (like the butler does in this example).

The random moans and sounds the characters make when "talking" to you don't really add to the atmosphere or context of their monologue.

Hear how the volume of the heavy music kicks in when you get into a gunfight. If enemies know you´re there but don´t shot at you, the heavyness goes a but down, but is still pounding.

Left 4 Dead 1&2

Game Title: Left 4 Dead 1&2
Your name: Nick Witsel
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description:
Valve's Left 4 Dead series uses both sound fx and music in order to communicate with the player. A few examples you can hear in the video above are for instance the infected "howl", which indicates a new horde is coming and the infamous "tank" music.
