Summary/Abstract: The text discusses the role of sound in video games. Different categorizations of sounds, their function, as well as their relation to the process of immersion in the game environment are reviewed. The main author thesis is that the sound together with the other elements of the game (vision, narrative and music) make the gaming a special experience with significant social and psychological consequences.
