Introduction:

This is the newest blog that I shall be using to post my findings, research and questions into Sound in games and gaming.

Sound is used in all games but is it important and can a different sound turn any game into something more or even less? Sound is a big part of games and always has been whether its been the narrative, the effects (such as an explosion), the music or even the introduction.

I shall do research on sound and how it effects gamers, whether it really can make a difference or not, I will do this by recording gameplay of myself playing and some volunteers then ask their opinions on whether they feel the sound effected them and with my own findings. I shall also be looking into other peoples research, blogs, books and findings into sound in games and gaming and I will research into cinematography and how we analyse sound in films, advertisements and other forms of media.
