This has truly been a standout year for videogame music, and the biggest shock is that most of the year's incredible soundtracks have not been in the expected big budget AAA releases - but small budget titles that have sprung out of nowhere and surprised everyone. It was so difficult to try and put my top 3 in order as all of them deserve to share the crown this year.
Nier has a landmark soundtrack that deserves to be remembered as all time great, Sonic Colours has some of the best Sonic tracks since the Mega Drive/Genesis era and Deadly Premonition features an eclectic mix of strange and touching tracks which are equal parts catchy, terrible, ridiculous, atmospheric and wonderful.
