The disastrous Xbox One announcement is a day gamers will never forget, and not for good reasons. It’s a shame because the best Xbox One games are an absolute delight to play. Xbox slowly abandoned the course and, in the process, helped the Xbox One become about games rather than restrictive DRM. A lot of quality titles are on the Xbox One, and most of them are inexpensive. Combined with Game Pass, the Xbox One is still a great system today.

Dark Souls II is often being scrutinized instead of being shown love. Not in my presence. Yeah, it’s the middle child of the series, comes in a little weirder, doesn’t quite walk or talk like the others, and shows up to family gatherings wearing slightly different armor physics. That doesn’t mean it is any less of a game. Scholar of the First Sin is packed with three DLCs and expands the world. It is a game worth playing and defending. Don’t think so? Meet me in the arena.

The best video game soundtracks don’t just complement the action. They define it. If used correctly, soundtracks enhance the ambiance and normal travel throughout the game world. Whether it’s the pulsing synths of a neon-lit brawler or the orchestral swells of an epic RPG, these scores transcend gaming and become legendary in their own right. Here are twelve of the best soundtracks ever composed. Image Credit: Nintendo. David Wise’s score for Donkey Kong Country is nothing short of legendary.
