The final dev diary for Brink, embedded below, certainly makes a strong case that game audio engineers have the coolest job ever. Suddenly I wish I'd done whatever you need to do at uni to get that job.

Brink naturally has an uphill battle ahead of it's early 2011 release, falling in the shadow of sequels for just every major shooter franchise around right now. But given the jaded gamer community is all ready grumbling about the same old same old appearing on our new release shelf in the coming months, this could be a fertile time for an original and interesting game like Brink to plant a seed of interest in the gaming community.
