Original Game Score of the Year Awards

201

9

Welcome to our 2019 Original Game Score of the Year Awards.  We reviewed a plethora of Video Game Soundtracks and listed below you'll find the five nominees we've selected, as well as our winner for this year. If you're new to our website and unfamiliar with our awards, we create annual videos showcasing a sample of at least five tracks from our selected nominees. Included in our videos are: related game clips, proper track titles, composers, arrangers, vocalist, release dates and the title of the video game the music was written for on an overlay. We spend an exhausting amount of time properly researching, reviewing and comparing these soundtracks. To be eligible, our criteria is that the soundtracks must be original compositions and not a remix or rearrangement of any type. The soundtracks must also have a release date between October 2018 and October 2019—this gives us time to complete the long editing process in the following months. The video game music world is brimming with talent and we hope we were able to encapsulate the best of it here on our site. We hope you enjoy our Awards and we'll see you back here next year!
