Half-Life 2

Game Title: Half-Life 2
Your name: Richard
Good or bad: Good
Description: At the end of the battle, there is a layered (musical) sound that signifies the conclusion of the battle. Since Half-Life 2 hardly features a score, such an unexpected non-diegetic sound has extra impact (compared to let's say, the End Of Battle-jingle of Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time, which you hear over and over again). I also love the layering in the sound - very tense!
