TPWW Forums - **Rate the Music: Week 33*

Yeah, made it in time, baby. I don't know what was up with me missing out on the scheduled time. Of course, there really is no scheduled time when it comes to this. It's not like a televised broadcast or anything. That raises a question: would you watch something like this? Or listen? Food for thought. Here's something else we thought about: Tube of Medusa from Ecco: The Tides of Time from last week's edition. How'd it do?

A seven is just above average. Nothing to be ashamed of. The entire soundtrack is highly recommended by me, just as an aside. It's got some nice relaxing ambient feels to it. Try it next time you want to just disassociate.

Until then, or even after that, you might want to take a listen to this week's piece. We're approaching the Halloween season, and while this game isn't quite a horror or spooky title, it's got the atmosphere that captures this time of the year and it feels appropriate to have it be our entry for this week. You know, to get us in the mood. Who's feeling dark and brooding? Bruce Wayne, that's who, and he's all about it in Batman: Arkham Knight. This is the track All Who Follow You.

Let's hear what you have to say about this one. Next week, we'll kick off another themed month as it's the start of October. All through the month, we'll tackle some of the spookiest and creepiest games to find our music, so that should be fun. Until next week!
