Revisiting Classic Video Game Music

Hellforge puts some much-needed focus on the music found in a handful of classic video games, including a couple of Diablo tracks and the amazing soundtrack from Planescape: Torment.

What is there to say about Planescape: Torment that those that have played it don’t already know? For the benefit of those that couldn’t and otherwise haven’t played it…

Whenever I hear Deionarra’s theme I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of loss. Not my own, but hers and The Nameless One’s. Within the first few moments of the game it succeeded in making me care about the characters. The more I learnt about them, the more I cared and the more I wanted to know.

Damn you, Hellforge! You’ve forced me to reinstall Torment yet again.
