Gaming reviews always (except the fine reviews here on geekpulp) have a strong focus on the visuals of a game. However these days, particularly on big budget games, the soundtrack is something of real beauty.
To that end here is my top 5 list of great gaming tunes:
- Still Alive - GLaDOS & Jonathan Coulton - The Orange Box
- Halo Theme (Mjoinir Mix) - Martin O’Donnell & Michael Salvatori - Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack and New Music)
- Metal Gear Solid Theme - TAPPY - Metal Gear Solid Original Game Soundtrack
- Gears of War Theme - Kevin Riepl - Gears of War - The Soundtrack
- The Bioshock Orchestral Score - Garry Schyman - Actually this one is the whole album and best of all it’s free!!!!!
Sure most of these you’re probably not listening to at parties (outside of a lan), but tracks like the Halo Theme are particularly great at the gym.
So think I’m missing something? What’s your favourite gaming music?
