Phoenix Spirit is beautiful, immersive with great audio and non-linear Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor is all of those except it's quite linear
Resident evil 4 is very atmospheric dead space is atmospheric but boring most atmospheric and impresive game for me is galaxy on fire 2 and i recomend the Fallen ep 1 game.
Atmosphere? Best atmospheric game I've played would have to be Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery. Music, sound, story, gorgeous graphics... But it is pretty linear.
Gyro13. The audio is excellent and it is very immersive (especially at night with headphones on) and if memory serves there is a free version and the full version is on sale.
athmosphere in game Hi!! I was always wondering about the impact of music&sound on our general reception i.e. in movies, games or commercials. I'm a game songwriter and sound designer, so I know that at the begining of creating any soundtrack we get some tunes as a pattern to follow. It's a pretty good way to organize work...but somtimes it's really boring. Is there any chance to start work on a game from music?? Maybe that's just a dream Bartosz http://www.facebook.com/ShumiStudioSoundtracks
