Sounds Of Silence: Does Sound Matter In Games?
Game Developer Magazine's audio columnist is hoping to get some input on an upcoming column he's writing about the importance of music and sound to gameplay.
He's got a poll up right now to try and get a handle on what gamers think on the topic. Head over there if you have a second and fill it out. It's an interesting topic.
When I used to do my gaming upstairs, just a few dozen feet from our bedrooms, I would play games with the sound muted at night and I can tell you, it really takes away from the experience. I was surprised to find I did much worse in shooters while playing muted because I couldn't hear some of the audio cues built into a game to let you know people are trying to cap you or sneak up on you.
