4th Annual G.A.N.G. Awards announced
The 4th annual G.A.N.G. (Game Audio Network Guild) awards were announced at the Game Developers Conference this past week. If you want to see names of people responsible for the games that won the awards, you can go to the official site. Otherwise, here's a summary:
Best Dialogue: God of War Most Innovative Use of Audio: Guitar Hero Best Use of Multi-Channel Surround In a Game: Call of Duty 2 F.E.A.R. Best Arrangement of a Non-Original Score: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogies Revenge Best New Audio Technology: Microsoft XNA Audio Format Best Audio Software: Spectrasonics STYLUS RMX Realtime Groove Module Best Audio Hardware: M-AUDIO MicroTrack 24/96 Best Game Audio Article, Publication, or Broadcast: The Treatment of Music in Games - Part I, II & III, by Jim Charne Best Interactive Score: God of War G.A.N.G. Recognition Awards: Nile Rodgers and Jim Charne Best Original Instrumental: "The Tragic Hero" from Peter Jackson's King Kong Best Cinematic/Cut-Scene Audio: God of War Best Live Performance Recording: God of War Best Original Vocal / Pop: "Katamari on the Swing" from We Love Katamari Best Original Vocal / Choral: "Muse" from Advent Rising Best Original Soundtrack Album: Jade Empire Sound Design of the Year (Tie): God of War Call of Duty 2 Best Audio/Other: Lumines Best Sound Library: East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs Best Sound Design in a Sports or Driving Game Need for Speed: Most Wanted Rookie of the Year: Gerard Marino Lifetime Achievement Award: Bobbie Prince Distinguished Service Award: Paul Lipson, Mark Guleno, Shiloh Hobel, Jerry Lyons, Michelle Sorger G.A.N.G. 4th Annual Student/Apprentice Competition Music Composition: Wilbert Roget "The Awakening of Anubis" Sound Design: Carsten Rojahn "G.A.N.G. GTA Contest" Music of the Year: God of War Best Use of Licensed Music: Guitar Hero Audio of the Year: God of War God of War really cleaned up. Noticeably absent is Shadow of the Colossus. Do you think that's warranted? Also, what do you think about Jade Empire getting the Best Original Soundtrack Album award? I haven't listened to it, so I don't really have any idea how it is, but I don't recall many people here talking about it. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Check out my original music at my Soundcloud page!
Latest music rips (updated January 10, 2012): SimCity DS - Jazz/ambient/electronic music including interesting reworkings of songs from the fantastic SimCity 3000 soundtrack Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels? Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more
