game soundtracks

Off the top of me head…Jet Set Radio, Ocarina of Time, Shenmue, REZ and Tempest2000 (or buy the cheap PC version of T2K and rip the audio tracks)

Lemme have a think for some others…

To be very obvious, the metal gear soundtrack is really sweet, but we all already know that…

Hrm, duno about buying them but the Homeworld, Hitman and Halo soundtracks are quite good in my opinion…theres also the MDK2 soundtrack but that was more action sequence orientated rather than actual tracks…

Command and Conquer, Red Alert – kill Kill KILL!!!!

(Grr!)

there are lots available to download and a good collection point of all the necessary links is here:

as for buying, the best game soundtrack i’ve heard in a long time is Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory by Amon Tobin… fandabidosy!

Also, extract the Halflife2 soundtrack from your game data… some great stuff in there too.

oh, theres also http://www.gamingfm.com

ya i bought on sale yesterday final fantasy vii and viii’s soundtracks. some great tunes. definately gonna crack back in 7 at some stage over the summer.

REZ sound track rocks! “Fear is the mind killer”

Not really a game soundtrack, but a necessary part of any gd.ie’rs collection…

If the bids go above $200, drop out… it’ll be Pete tapping the “bid more” key like a woodpecker.

Classic Material…

Ah Silkworm, what a classic game…God i love MAME! :D

apart from the urge to attack the ass jumping across stage thinking he’s a small hairy italian plumber who has just injested a magical invincibility star…this is cool:

that video in the last post reminds me of the music in those levels in super mario sunshine, where you had to do all the crazy jumps etc. to get the star. wonder did nintendo nick that idea of these guys….

this is also cool… the guy was a huge mario fan, and was blinded when his brother struck him in the face with the controller after losing at a Mario Bros showdown, so he took up the piano instead*.
