So Memorable Music in gaming. It's selective and what inspires or gets one person pumping may not exactly be what gets another moving. Recently between some larger titles like Dragon Quest XI, Tales of Berseria, the new God of War and Mortal Kombat 11 between the various reviews, I've loaded up...

So we all knew that we would wind back up here at some point in time. That's right, I have once again risen from the depths to attempt a Memorable Music article.
