The post-apocalyptic theme is nothing new for video games. But, in Apex Legends, developers take the idea of what happens after the nuclear fallout to a new level. According to the EA website, “Pioneers, explorers, and outlaws used to spend their lives locked in an endless power struggle – now, they settle their differences in the Apex Games, a bloodsport where Legends from all corners of the Frontier compete for money, fame, and glory.” The first rule of Fight Club maybe not to talk about Fight Club, but in this instance, you’ll want to hear your opponent make their move before it’s too late.
More than 25 years after the first iteration, Mortal Kombat remains one of the most successful franchises in gaming history. The success of the game is due in large part to ultra-realistic sound effects as players fight each other to the death in an alternative universe consisting of 18 realms. Mortal Kombat 11 is the next chapter in a saga that surpassed the term “epic” long ago.
Speaking of historic franchises, even those outside the gaming realm know the story of “Resident Evil,” as the game also generated a series of films.

Both sets of speakers produce a thundering sound. Trust us - you absolutely need to hear every move the zombies make in order to avoid becoming one yourself!
Regain your honor. That’s the goal of “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.” In 16th-century Japan, you are a disfigured warrior who must try and save a young hero. Players are armed with ninja skills and a host of prosthetic weapons to fight their way through a host of dangerous enemies. The sound effects are so real you will feel the vibration of the gong of war right down to your toes.
The mountain ranges of the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest provide the backdrop for “Days Gone.” Deacon St. John is a former biker gang member turned bounty hunter who must do battle with zombie-like creatures called “Freakers” to try and save his wife Sarah. Your “Days Gone” game play experience could go even further with the Klipsch 5.1 Reference Home Theater pack. You’ll experience the heart-stopping footfalls of mountain lions, bears, and wolves. This system is so precise and lifelike you will even hear the crackling of a roaring fire in gameplay.
