The fantasy MMO
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a game that's notable for its score, and this aspect of the title has drawn accolades from gamers and music critics alike. Composer
Knut Avenstroup Haugen was even nominated for
Best Original Score in a Video Game in the Hollywood Music Awards. While ultimately that honor went to Wataru Hokoyama for
Afrika, Haugen now has cause to celebrate his big win at the
International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) awards.
The IFMCA is an association of online, print, and radio journalists who write about film and television music. Clearly they were impressed with Haugen's work.
Age of Conan won Best Original Score for a Video Game or Interactive Media, this time beating
Afrika, as well as
Gears of War 2,
Mercenaries 2, and
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
