The surface of the Earth may be a blasted wasteland, its music shops and symphony halls reduced to smoldering ruins. But as long as humans survive, so too will music. It's in that spirit that I enjoy the music of Metro 2033 and its equally post-apocalyptic sequel, Metro: Last Light. The games have a distinct musical…

Of all the terms one could use to describe a video game soundtrack—exhilarating, emotional, sad, uplifting, lonesome, boisterous—the word "sloppy" almost never comes up. Seriously, pause for a minute and name a video game with a sloppy soundtrack. Unless you're talking about a poorly-played Rock Band track or a bar…

There are times when you think you're pretty okay at music, and then you go and watch something like this video of saxophonist Michael Brecker playing "Song for Barry" on the Akai EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument). And you think, holy pants, this is another whole thing entirely.

We've gotten glimpses at Cello Fortress before, but it'd be understandable if some readers still had questions about how the game works. Four players with controllers take on… an improvising cellist. Okay, that's amazing. But how does it work?

I've always wanted to headline an article "Box Catches Cat." Now, finally, my moment has arrived, thanks to YouTuber SirAshquatch. It's nice to see someone else agrees that many of life's most triumphant moments deserve their own victory music.

Sure, it's cool when a talented musician makes an album paying tribute to video game music. But what about when a whole bunch of composers assemble, locking their various musical tics and tricks in place for a single grand collection? That's more or less what's happened with World 1-2, a video game tribute album…

Rockstar released three new character trailers for their latest game in the Grand Theft Auto series. Up top is "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen to go with Michael's debut.

Rockstar has unearthed three previously unreleased tracks from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's beloved in-game radio station "Radio Espantoso." The three tunes are now available on iTunes and streaming on Spotify. Nice.

The soundtrack for the upcoming co-operative heist game Monaco: What's Yours is Mine is a rowdy, somewhat tongue-in-cheek collection of piano bangers from Journey composer Austin Wintory. But those tunes really only tell half the story.

Here's violinist Taylor Davis performing a two-parter of "Elizabeth's Theme" and "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" from BioShock Infinite. You may remember Davis from such performances as Epically Playing Epic Journey Music While Wearing Gloves on the Beach and Super Emotional Music from Naruto.
