Mat and Tom talk about their favourite music from trailers, video games with an aesthetic core built around music, and games where music is a central mechanic. They cover that Gears of War E-Day music moment; Life is Strange, Mixtape, and coming-of-age games; music creation toy Oddada; and composer reveal announcements.
