The Worlds of Action Adventure
Sound of Gaming returns to Radio 3 with a much-anticipated mix featuring some of the very best and newest gaming soundtracks out there. And with new scores comes a new voice. In the first of two programmes, gaming journalist and music enthusiast, Louise Blain, guides us though the many worlds of ‘action adventure' games, as evoked by the music. She looks forward to the release this week of the latest incarnation in the Assassin’s Creed franchise - ‘Valhalla’ - with a storyboard inspired by the Viking invasion of Britain and boasting a sonorous new soundtrack by this Louise’s guest, Jesper Kyd.
