*Journey*, Thatgamecompany’s lovely co-op adventure (which certain segments of our office [sitting to my right](http://www.killscreendaily.com/articles/essays/its-disappointing-go-alone/?ref=killscreen.com) did not particularly enjoy) was [nominated for a Grammy today](http://www.grammy.com/nominees?genre=11&ref=killscreen.com) in the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category. Its competition – the Dark Knight Rises, Hugo, Tintin, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Artist – are a testimony both to the excellence of [the music in the game](http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL60408EBD7150DDA5&ref=killscreen.com), and to how far games have come as a medium. We blogged a few weeks ago about how a lot of game music is [not particularly sophisticated](http://killscreendaily.com/headlines/why-game-music-so-unsophisticated/?ref=killscreen.com) compared to other aspects of their presentation, but there are rare, and wonderful exceptions. Well done.

\*Last year, a song that was originally featured on the Civilization 4 soundtrack won a grammy, but was nominated for its composition on a 2011 album by the composer. Technicalities!
