Review: Known for their acclaimed renditions of film scores and soundtracks, London Music Works are now set to unveil their latest undertaking: The Essential Games Music Collection. Delivering precisely what it says on the tin, the collection features bombastic, swelling orchestral arrangements of musical highpoints from some of the most highly regarded videogames of all time. Transcending consoles and eras, the troupe cover everything from Nintendo classics such as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend Of Zelda, to more modern first-person-shooters Call Of Duty and Gears Of War, to iconic third-person triple A titles like Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid and The Last Of Us.

Review: Let's face it, Hollywood director Christopher Nolan broke the mould with his re-envisioning of Batman. Taking things closer to the original comic books, themselves forced to 'go soft' by censors in the early-1950s, his films payed direct tribute to the saga's direction from the mid-1970s onwards. A trilogy of movies that were visually arresting, tonally dystopian, and viciously unhinged. It's not clear if we'll ever get a superhero (or anti-hero) film series of that class and calibre again, the world on screen so immersive you quickly feel like a Gotham native. A big part of that universe-building comes through the music, which enlists two of the greatest names in the history of soundtracks to help weave the tales. Hans Zimmer has composed for more than 150 films, James Newton Howard in excess of 100. This compilation of their shared caped crusader efforts proves why they're so well respected.
