Game Music.
I find that many games these days have really rubbish in game music, or at least that's my perception, there are many games that have great in-game music however, out of all the games I've played I think Deus Ex has had the best, I even listen to the music from that in Winamp when I'm not playing. a recently played game with music I liked was Neverwinter Nights, and before that Baldur's Gate II, which I really loved, really dramatic and stuff, what do you peeps think of game music? am I wrong to say most game music isn't good?

well..
mostly the good "game" music is usually either
a) some sort of mishy mashy lift music
b) some not to bad atmospheric background stuff
c) licenced music ala the fifa games and gran turismo
d) music that wouldnt seem out of place on a film score
baldurs gate and the ilk have the quality stuff going on there.. most other games if they have music at all it either fits in to the theme of the game or it gets turned off
im waffling
usually the only music i really listen to while gaming is metally rocky / electro bollox for quakeage and japanese supereurobeat for raceage
but actually now i think about it one of my select few musical artists i really like listening to is [url=http://www.sonic mayhem.com]Sonic mayhem[/url] he does alot of electro stuff now but he used to do some throttley metal a while back...for quake 2 and 3..also he supposedly made the weapon sounds for ut...other game credits include one of those bond games on some console or other...and he almost made the music for AVP2 but some other sucker beat him to it
other random text i shall now type that will fill lots of space
metal gear solid 2 on the ps2 has a great soundtrack...composed by a proper film composer dunno his name but he is on the promo DVD shipped with the game
err ok thats all i can think of actually...pointless subheading for that bit

(edit) and bollocks meh link is teh brok0red..methinks it might be something to do with "HTML is off"

oh I am SUCH an idiot for forgetting about Metal Gear Solid 2!!! I LOVE IT! I have the soundtrack on my PC, I've only found it on one website in all the internet that Google knows about

I love the theme music from Max Payne, you know the one that plays on the main game screen.
and there were 2 tracks from Unreal Tourny that I liked but I thought most of them were a bit crap to listen to on their own, ok in the game though, but I guess that's the only function they had to serve.

not really something you could listen to on mp3... but oh class all sync'd to the action and everything
and the more i think about it ...quake 2 has an awesome soundtrack
(edit) however if this post was on movie soundtracks i would have a field day

nothing, i mean NOTHING comes close to the soundtrack on WipeOut on playstation. Pure genius. Sure it wasn't all written for the game, but what a compilation
