Our summertime Video Game Music Festival has largely, if not entirely covered the wonderful world of soundtracks, which you could probably have guessed from the name. But what about all the stuff that isn’t-quite-music? Don’t noises deserve love too?
YES. So, here you go: Our favourite sounds in video games. Tell us yours in the comments!

I love the Metroid Prime Trilogy, with all three games being a remarkable achievement (if they announce a HD re-release I may spontaneously combust). With any iconic all-time-great series you need everything to come together: gameplay, visuals and art design, soundtrack and of course sound effects.
The sound is brilliant in these games, capturing the sci-fi vibes of the franchise perfectly. Finding items and upgrades is always a thrill in Metroid games, and the Prime entries absolutely nailed the sound trigger for those…
