The Oscars still haven’t deigned to give awards out to video game creators, but the International Film Music Critics’ Association is much more open-minded. In among their awards given out this past week was a “Best Original Score for a Video Game or Interactive Media.” And the winner goes to…
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Congratulations to composer Óscar Araujo, who got to take home the “Iffy.” No, we just made that name up — we don’t really know what it’s called. Probably just the IFMCA Award. His score beat out the music in Dark Void (by Bear McCreary!), James Bond 007: Blood Stone, Lego Universe, and the Legend of the Guardians games to win it all.
And apologies to composers Bill Elm and Woody Jackson. Why? Because their Red Dead Redemption score got robbed! Robbed, we say!
