Journey Video Game

For the first time in video game history, the complete soundtrack of a game is being nominated for a Grammy.  If you have played the game or listened to Journey's music, you may have enjoyed the enriching musical renditions that not only set the tone for the video gameplay, but can have a mood-setting effect as well.  Journey, specifically, is being nominated for a Grammy for the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.

Other video games have had the honor of being nominated for music such as Civilization 4's Baba Yetu.  In fact this video game won for the Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists in 2011.
