Kirk Hamilton is the Editor-At-Large for Kotaku.com, and he’s always been a huge fan of music in games. He studied jazz at the University of Miami, and ended up out in the Bay Area being a saxophonist for a while and teaching music. I’ve always enjoyed talking with Kirk about game music, so I asked him on to talk about what some of his more recent favorites are lately.
Patrons, you’ll have access to a bonus clip of Kirk and I talking about playing Destiny 2, which was a lot newer when we spoke last year.
Kirk is great – I’m glad he loves game music so much
