Sometimes I find myself wondering when we will 'run out of good music' to look up and offer our thoughts on. But then I play something (old or new) and almost inevitably find something that holds my interest every few games. After my last selection was so RPG-heavy, I decided to go in a...

After a couple of weeks where I took a look heavily at RPGs, Hamza has come back with a new list of songs that cover games from a wide variety of genres. One title is certainly newer than the rest. System Shock 2 (PC) - Med Sci 1 In VGM #18, I mentioned that System Shock 2 had a much better...

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this...

This installment of Memorable Music in Gaming is spread out over a handful of different console generations, but were all titles that resonated with me as games while still having sound tracks that stuck with me in one way or another as well. Neverwinter Nights (PC) - City Docks Day I spent so...

Some games are ingrained in our memories due in large part to their music. Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and more. They are important of course, but every now and then a game tune can be so catchy and memorable - despite the game itself not being elevated to a kind of...

We are back from the holidays, and while our last edition of Memorable Music in Gaming had a decidedly winter theme, we are back to just good old music from a variety of different inspirations. Most interesting about them? each one comes from a different platform. Donkey Kong Country (SNES) -...

So we have another batch of music to leave you with before the holidays here. I like to think of this as our winter / Christmas mix. Just video game songs that were set against generally cold, snowy levels and left an impression on me, so that every time I hear them? I picture some snow and ice...

Here we go again, with a pretty diverse list of game songs to keep you humming along this fine Friday morning. We range from newer titles like Metro 2033 to an old MS-DOS game, with plenty of great songs in between. Depth Dwellers (MS-DOS) - Main theme? This is a strange one: an anomaly...

This edition of Memorable Music once again delves into games from the past, with none of the titles being even somewhat recent. That being said, I've always thought that music has a tendency to age far better than visuals do in a game. Age of Empires II (PC) - Main theme This is the theme to...
