The Worlds of Action Adventure

Sound of Gaming returns to Radio 3 with a much-anticipated mix
featuring some of the very best and newest gaming soundtracks out
there. And with new scores comes a new voice. In the first of two
programmes, gaming journalist and music enthusiast, Louise Blain,
guides us though the many worlds of ‘action adventure' games, as
evoked by the music. She looks forward to the release this week
of the latest incarnation in the Assassin’s Creed franchise -
‘Valhalla’ - with a storyboard inspired by the Viking invasion of
Britain and boasting a sonorous new soundtrack by this Louise’s
guest, Jesper Kyd.
