Many people don’t realize it but music and sound play an important role in video games. It’s just as important as graphics and gameplay. Music and sound serve many different purposes, some obvious, some not so.We’re giving two PDP LVL50 wired gaming headsets for PlayStation 4, two PDP LVL50 wired gaming headset for Xbox One, and two PDP LVL50 wireless gaming headsets for Xbox One. Read on to find out how to enter for your chance to win!
Video games and music go hand in hand
During a game, music can tug at your heart or it can get you going in the direction that the game designer wants you to. On the other hand, music in a game can let the player know that they are losing health or just gained a power up. Finally, a game’s soundtrack can help brand it—and leave a lasting impression while creating many favourable memories.
As a direct result, video game concerts have become popular all over the world with gamers. Many concerts travel the globe to sold out crowds. Not only is it a great way to connect with other gamers in the community but it also is an incredible experience that you won’t soon forget. Let me tell you about my experience with a recent video game concert that I went to not too long ago and the impact it had on me.
Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World of Tres World Tour
To help celebrate the launch of Kingdom Hearts III earlier in the year, the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra concert series went on tour all over the world with a brand-new program—Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World of Tres. Luckily one of the stops was here in Toronto and I had the esteemed pleasure of attending.
The orchestra and choir were composed of more than 100 musicians who put on a stunning performance. The live orchestra included woodwinds, brass, piano, percussion and other instruments. The concert started with spectacular renditions of iconic music from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. To add even more impact, behind the orchestra and choir was a large screen. It showed gameplay footage in perfect harmony with the music.
However, the highlight of the concert was when the orchestra played music from Kingdom Hearts III. They went chapter by chapter through out the game. You could hear many people in the audience humming along, and were cheering and clapping at the end of every piece. Not only did several of the songs send chills down my spine but they also brought back fond memories and times when I was playing the game. It’s like the moments were frozen in time and by listening to the music I could replay them as many times as I wanted.

Zelda is my fav
The best soundtrack for sure is The World Ends With You” on the nintendo DS and Switch. I listen to it even now and the game is a decade old.
Final fantasy X
Zelda is the one for me.
Zelda is my hit!
Final fantasy X, the music is perfectly orchestrated, emotional melodic tunes that are all unique to the location you are in throughout the game. It’s perfection.
The Grand Theft Auto Games always have a perfect mix of music.
NHL 19 and other series as they have the latest catching tunes
Battlefront 2 – it’ll take me on a galatic journey.
The original Chinese Paladin (sword and fairy?). An old Chinese game that made me fall in love with rpg genre back in 95′. Til this day I still have its soundtrack in my playlist. Note: not the newer or redone vers.
zelda becasue it is calming
The old SKATE series – 1, 2 and 3. All punk and hiphop. Fun game
my 10yr old says MInecraft music as it is fun & I enjoy it.
Zelda as it is more peaceful. I am not into rap & loud noise. I want Playstation headphones for my grandson.
I am into star wars, so I have to go with Battlefront 2 just for the sheer fact its the newest one out there and I love the classic star wars music
Zombies ate my neighbors, hands down, just worked for the zany theme of the game, completely out there
Chronotrigger, because it is just so much better than the soundtrack on other games.
Final Fantasy 8; Nostalgia!
Original Super Mario Bros! Simply one of the most iconic sound tracks to ever have been made.
My favourite video game soundtrack is Final Fantasy X. It brings back great memories for me and gives each of the different locations a unique feeling. Great piece of musical work and it would sound even better with this headset of course.
Zelda – the theme track has stood the test of time. You only need a few notes and it’s instantly recognizable.
To me the best soundtrack I’ve heard to date is Final Fantasy VII.
From the opening track where you begin the bombing mission in sector 5, to the sad teary moment when Aerith is laid to rest the sounds and musical tones match the mood of the scene or part in the game. Masterfully created by legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu, the world of Midgar and of Final Fantasy VII come to life with his music. Each characters theme song is pure joy and you’ll find yourself humming along to many of the songs while playing the game and even when you’re not.
I can’t wait to hear the recomposed tracks in Final Fantasy VII Remake and to laugh, to cry and to hum along to fantastic tracks that I could listen to over and over again.
Transistor -Amazing chillout vibes and Life is Strange before the Storm – great album by Daughter brings out to pain and teenage angst
I love Final Fantasy VII has the best soundtrack beautiful music!
For me its Zelda it is calming and soothing
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time because it’s matches the events in the games so perfectly. It calms you in some places, Makes you happy in other places and scares the living daylight out of you in others and years later whenever I hear it I am instantly transported back to my childhood
Fortnite because you can do lots of dance moves
Shadow of the Tomb Raider for XBox One X. The music for this game is enhanced for Dolby Atmos and it is just out of this world. The music perfectly matches the situation, and when outside of combat, can be extremely soothing (especially while in a jungle scene). The sound is so realistic that when I first played, I had to pause the game several times because I thought I heard a leak in my house!
Madden 2004. Are you gonna be my girl? Knew the lyricss just from playing the game
FINAL FANTASY 7 has the best soundtrack because the music reflected the mood of every scene
Assassins Creed: Origins because it matches so well with the game and its setting.
