Andy kicks off this week's proceedings with a look at the big winners of the GDAA Awards from GCAP in Melbourne last week - Firemint and the recently closed down Transmission Games. Afterwards we get a look at what Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer thinks of composing music for games instead of movies - unsurprisingly he finds them very similar. The Bayonetta demo - currently on the PSN and the Xbox Live Marketplace - also sneaks its way into the update before Andy looks back at the year's worst marketing efforts.

Not that I've played MW2 but I always turn the music off in games. I find it annoying.

Then he's doing it wrong. His game soundtrack, without having heard it, must suck.

A sound track that runs quietly in the back ground can really make a game exciting.
Having a complete orchestra running full blast on a Battle field might be true to life if soldiers ran around sporting combat iPods.

I think allowing MW2 to have an Academy Award winning composer is a big leap for the games industry as it proves games are not just about the action and killing, but also the sound and the experience.

Since it's been described as the most annoying aspect to MW2, I'll leave your amusing little noob fanboi flame attempt alone.
