Civilization V
Aspyr
Included with the limited Game of the Year edition, the soundtrack to Civilization V is nothing less than spectacular. The thoughtful and insightful score by Michael Curran and Geoff Knorr was painstakingly written after studying the many world cultures included within the game. Curran and Knorr masterfully wove together specific cultural melodies and themes into each of their original scores as a way to envelop the player as he or she plays as Alexander the Great, George Washington, or even Gandhi. Within the game, but not included in the soundtrack, are also works by great classical composers like Dvorak, Copeland, and more.
