Tips and Advice

How this thread works:   

1. You leave a question.
2. I add it to the front page so it gets more views.
3. Clever people answer your question.
4. You reply to these pending answers.
5. If the correct answer is given the user who got it correct will get points on the leaderboard and I will archive your question.  

When asking a question:

1. If you have a question leave it in the comment box at the bottom of the main thread.  
2. Try and be as descriptive as you can as this will help your chances of getting the answer.
3. When you get the correct name start a new comment. Either Reply to X19 or press H2 (top left of your format bar) and then write "Question Complete"so when I scan the thread I can easily see it. If you give me no information I can't update the table and this may result in users still answering your question when you have already got the answer.
   
4. QUOTE the correct users comment which should include the game name. If multiple users get the question right QUOTE the very first person to answer correctly  
5. Don't forget to say thank you :)
6. If you manage to answer your own question Reply to X19 with the game name and it will be marked as 'Resolved'

1.  A guess of what year the game could have come out on (it's not useful to say "when I was a kid" if we don't know how old you are)
2.  A guess of what platform the game is on (even if you don't remember what console, at least say it wasn't on PC, and guess the generation)
3.  What genre the game is in (again, even if you don't know exactly, you can probably rule some out or be broad like "action")
4.  If you or others or general public thought the game was any good, how good/bad/colorful were the graphics, music, etc
5.  Who the intended audience of the game is (kids, casual gamers, movie franchise fans, etc)  

When answering a question:

1. To help limit confusion, please remember to press REPLY  when answering a users question.  
2. If you have the giantbomb link for the game you think it might be, add that too so the community can have a look at these rare gems and maybe help fill the unloved pages out. 
3. If you want to add pictures, videos or websites of the game you think it is go ahead.
   
4. The first person to get the correct answer in THIS thread will have their name put into the table, 100 points added to their leaderboard score and most importantly enjoy the satisfaction of knowing they helped a fellow Giantbomber in their time of need.

I rewrote the intro music for those amazing visuals. I recommend 720p.
   

The clip is one of AussieSN1P3R's video edits. My main aim was to copy every gunshot and movement the player made. 
 
  

I saw this youtube video a while ago and thought I would write something to it. If anyone knows a free program for syncing audio files to video files please let me know.
 

Music is very important to me when I play games. One of my dreams is to be as good as these composers and write music for games some day. 
  
Harry Gregson Williams I don't know how you do it:  

This is something I have only thought seriously about fairly recently. After watching Hamst3r's Giantbomb Community Song I was inspired to get back into composing which I haven't done since uni. I have mainly rewritten music for section of films such as the matrix and Kung Fu Panda which I might add to this blog at some point. The first step is to build a portfolio of music this time for games so I can use it to show indie developers what kind of things I can do. Also I need alot of practice so having this goal will keep me going I think. My mate knows some Indie developers which live around where I live so after I have got some music together I will use that link as my next step. 
 
My first project is the Mirrors Edge Trailer. I loved playing the game and listening to the ambient soundtrack so I intend to try and recreate that kind of sound and feel the composer gives to the game. I currently have written the underlining rhythm, airy drone sounds for the section before the fight and today i'm going to add some repeating patterns to give it more of a pulse.
