God of war was robbed,or at the very least dismissed unjustly almost instantly in best music. Alfather @vinny Vincent is the only one that truly appreciated its quality. Its amazing and unique at the very least in recent years. the guttural male singing can be put next to the mines of moria music from lord of the rings., which is an extremely high compliment. Even the songs without it are tremendous and fit perfectly in the game and the mythical quality of the game and source material .
A great list Ben, but -9 points for using the word "gamer trance" .
first of all: it just sounds terrible
secondly: A feeling close to the above described "gamer trance" is kind of subjective. Personally i get it mostly from games with a great story. Or the above mentioned soul games.
I just cant take it anymore, i have tried so hard to keep still...But Hades(tm) is not about escaping hell! Hades is not remotely the same as the devil! Everyone who dies is going to the domain of hades, no expections. Within this underworld there is a place for the heroic/ good and the evil and the average. But its all under Hades management. The great warriors dont al go to mount Olympus when they die.
Try to keep a bigger perspective than just the Christian myths you grew up with. Not every relogion has a perfect 1 to 1 comparison with Christianity.
