FIFA And Music

from Read | Write | Play Hosted by Student in ENG181 at Emory University

Nick and Jay explore FIFA by EA Sports. FIFA is an interactive soccer game simulation.

Ian Bogost believes music in video games no longer carry themes and messages with them, however, FIFA is the perfect counter example. Let’s find out why.
