Yes. It is one of my favorite games of all time, and one of the best video game scores, not just the writing, but in the way it is implemented in the game. It was a complete experience that never took me out of the moment for a second.

Weird. I could have sworn I've discussed this before, but search yields nothing. Must have been on another board.
In any event, while I haven't played the game, I am a big fan of Wintory and eagerly look forward to any release of his music.
If you play games, you really need to experience everything together. The music is so much more powerful when coupled, not only with the visuals, but how the game makes you feel as an active participant.

People have become so narrow minded in film music community that they care more about their bias, their hate on every non-orchestral or non-Williams-esque score, instead of appreciate film music.
I don't think people are narrow-minded (well, some are), it's just that these hidden gems are simply hidden.
I would have never discovered Korzeniowski's Copernicus' Star if LLL had not released it. I forgot what other big score it was released with, but MV's praise for it led me to the samples, and I was floored from Track 1.
Besides, not all independent film scores are that great, but you get a few that are just really damn good. It all depends on the composer.
Myself being a huge gamer, naturally I discover a lot of unheard talents in the industry. From the moment I played Journey, I knew I was going to seek out the score when I was done playing.
Killzone 2, by Joris De Man, is one of my favorite recent game scores. Fit for a Hollywood blockbuster, it has a great militaristic orchestral sound ala Williams' Empire Strikes Back with some fairly awesome action motifs.
I also clearly remember discovering Mr. Tilton's music. Black, in 2006. I had highly anticipated its release since it was developed by Criterion, who did the fantastic Burnout games. When the opening cinematic started and the theme kicked in, it was bliss. When the credit popped up with Giacchino's name and his, I instantly recognized it from Medal Of Honor, which was already one of my favorite scores (still is).
Sorry for going off on a tangent lol, but games are a huge tapestry of brilliant music. It just needs to be discovered.

It is the mailing list. I signed up after that was posted and received the e-mail with the download immediately, so probably joining'll still hook you up.
As for why you haven't heard of the music . . . because he hasn't scored any blockbusters, probably. I've been recommending Spirit of the Cosmos over and over, but people are too busy fighting about how awful the latest blockbuster scores are to take a chance on something they haven't heard of!
Mastadge, Yup I got it too, which is very cool. Only shame was having to get to a Mac to sign up as the input field uses Flash!
I actually do listen to game scores, not quite as much as filmscores admittedly, though I tend to focus on people like Tilton, Giacchino, Bjorn "Dr Awesome" Lynne, Chris Huelsbeck, Jeremy Soule and some others. It's dropped off somewhat for me as I play less games these days but I had a heavy influence from the Amiga game music (hence Lynne and Huelsbeck) and followed them onto their solo projects.
I really enjoyed the tracks in the Wintory bundle and I'll definetly checkout his other stuff. Hopefully Spirit of the Cosmos is on CD somewhere , though I'll happily get it on iTunes if it's the only choice. Thanks for the tip.
