Great article, certainly music is essencial when it comes to create a propper atmosphere. I can't imagine playing any old game with sound off, nowadays is rather common due to terrible music or voice acting. It's really sad that today games barely got a tune with that "spark" to make them memorable. Too bad there's no mention of Outcast, Fallout 2 or Lineage 2. IMHO the best music scores for videogames ever.
