As video games continue to advance their way through modern culture, developers are putting more resources and effort into creating them than ever before. One of the departments that's benefited most from this increased attention is certainly the original music. With game soundtracks featuring live orchestral performances of scores written by top composers from around the world becoming almost commonplace, this wealth of new music can actually stand on its own outside the game industry in many cases.
This past year was no exception. 2007's bumper crop of video games yielded too many remarkable original scores to mention. From blockbuster hits to small independent releases, the year saw a dramatic increase in music production values and the addition of several instant classics to the game music canon. It was exceedingly difficult limiting ourselves to just a handful, but here are a few of our definite favorites from 2007.
