Reddit reviews Greatest Video Game Music

Fuck Maxim

The London Philharmonic Orchestra is releasing "The Greatest Video Game Music" on Nov. 8th, including BF2's theme. I personally cant wait to hear this version.

I am from the non-Amazon country of Singapore!

Amazon does actually offer free shipping on selected goods, but you'll need to be over $125.

This CD of videogame music should cost less than $25, if it isn't please tell me and I'll pick another!

If you like that, then you'll love this. The London Philharmonic did a video game album which is, in my opinion, just fantastic. I found a link on Slickdeals main page a few months ago that was giving the album away for free and I got it then, but unfortunately I can't find it again at the moment (may have been limited time).

You can buy it on Amazon or Google Play for 6 bucks which is well worth it in my opinion.

Play at least the samples of Zelda, Angry Birds, and Tetris to get a good feel of the quality of this album.

Not sure if this is on itunes but http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Video-Game-Music/dp/B005QW1FB0 might be interesting if you want to hear this.

Personally I think the greatest piece of video game music is the boss battle theme from FF7 but there's definitely some good stuff on here

$9.99 on Amazon.com, $18.12 on Amazon.ca

It doesn't play in the game, it's from London Philharmonic's The Greatest Video Game Music. But the theme from the game is still very good along with the rest of the soundtrack. Very orchestral.

> I am sure there are parts that are good, but goofy aliens, power Ranger colored power armor, and Cortana all scream teenage boy sci-fi Fantasy and it turned me off.

Like I said, to each their own. But most of it is very developed and some of the aliens are some comic relief (Grunts) while others are more serious (Elites). The armor wasn't even that colorful unless you customized it for multiplayer...it's standard army green. Cortana's build was a little...promiscuous though.

IMO, Mass Effect's story and character's had their terrible moments as well. I could never even finish two since it got so dry. Way too much talking going on for an action game. Combat was kinda stale in the first, and not much better in the second.
