Journey
It seems this was a year of great indie titles, and especially of great indie titles with great music accompanying them. Obviously the game missing here is Thatgamecompany’s Journey, which sported an impressive, sombre, classical orchestral score that ranks among the best orchestral scores for video games released this past year.
Personally I didn’t like Justin Wintory’s work too much outside of the game, but that might just be me. It worked extraordinarily well within the game’s context, which is all the more impressive, given that Journey is technically an independent title.
