VGChartz’s Taneli Palola: “It’s the start of a new year and I’m using that as a flimsy excuse to talk about some of my favourite opening themes in video games. One of the most important sections in any video game is often the first few minutes, be it the opening cutscene or the first few minutes of actual gameplay. Whatever the game presents the players with the moment they press play is often crucial in hooking them in, and in many cases a huge part of that is the accompanying music that plays during those first few moments.”
