One of the greatest pieces of music in a game is the Morrowind theme. Almost 9 years since the release of the game and hearing that song still makes me shiver and imagine all those incredible lands I explored. Same with Oblivion: although I felt the game lacked that X factor in Morrowind, the soundtrack still makes me think of all those dungeons, those battles and the entire adventure. Music, indeed, has power and The Elder Scrolls series is a clear example of how a great soundtrack can bring you back to relive the experience by merely listening to it.

My opinion is that social games are more attractive right now due to the lack of time most people have. Lots of people over 25 years old don't have the necessary spare time to play a game so they turn to these social games that can take up only a few minutes per day. The interaction with other players makes it much more attractive, since playing alone would be no fun. I too log in Mafia Wars around 15 minutes per day to check my progress and help out my friends but that's only when I don't have access to my personal computer so I can play "real" games and I honestly fear the time when I won't be able to play due to a busy schedule.
