I've always been a fan of Jesper Kyd since the Hitman days. Also, I thought his "Freedom Fighters" score was so good, I picked up the limited cd soundtrack for it back in 03 or 04.

Ooh, looks interesting, I'll have to pick this up.

Oh wait, no I won't, because it's included in the wonderfully delicious Black Edition I've preordered! *Cackles*

On sale?
Damn, I've not paid for a game OST ever. If they get released its usually free. Orange Box, DoW, PJ Eden etc.
Or you manually grab the files form the install folder anyway.
The music could be good, but its worthless without the accompanying game.

Also this expanding DA:O ad is fucking annoying. It expands right over the comment box, but slow enough that as you pass over it to type in this box it comes down and you click the ad. Also when it opens and you don't click ion it it just stays open till it closes on its own ( yeah that X in the corner don't work properly) #assassinscreedii

@deanbmmv: Music worthless without the game? Obviously you aren't a fan of game soundtracks then. Still I wish that they would release these soundtracks on CD if they want anyone to buy them.

There are many examples of games that are terrible and have great soundtracks. My ultimate favorite is Unlimited Saga. I would much rather have the soundtrack than the game.

I am a huge game soundtrack fanatic and will sometimes buy the soundtrack even if I don't like or don't have the console on which the game is released. #assassinscreedii

@Sirusjr: I do quite like game soundtracks.
But for the most part you only enjoy the songs for the game linked to them.
I'd wager you'd find it very hard to enjoy a OST of a game you've never played.
I know I do.
e.g the "your fave FF track" threads that get started on TAY, I find it hard to listen to the tracks from games in the series I've yet to play. Even when they are in the same style, and by the same composer as the tracks I love.

Edit: case in point the Soul Edge track D-K linked. I've not played Soul Edge.
I wouldn't actively choose to listen to that music. I have no event or character to tie it to. It's meaningless to me.

@deanbmmv: Well I've never played uncharted and I love the music for both games. (I don't have a ps3) I agree that soundtracks tend to be more interesting when you hear them with something else but if it is a good soundtrack I will enjoy it regardless.

One of my favorite movie soundtracks is from The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin and I have never seen the movie. A lush orchestral score is going to be enjoyable regardless of whether you know the original media it was created for. #assassinscreedii

The logic (or the lack there of) of licensing all these cars only to make them look like sh*t baffles me.

Lower rendering quality? That's fine, but WTF is up with the proportions? #needforspeednitro

@Pessimippopotamus: Y'now, there are 'graphics aren't everything' arguments to be made, but you've got a point. This game's at least partly targeted towards car nuts, who will appreciate an accurate rendering of their particular favourites.

The cartoony look helps with people, but not so much with cars. #needforspeednitro

@twinturbo2: What kind of crack are you smoking? I was being sarcastic about my statement. Obviously I wasn't playing the game in my head. I wasn't bashing the game at all. I was bashing the people who bash the game before they play it. Reading comprehension FAIL.

I also mentioned below that NSMB is a force to be reckoned with. So, I'm really excited for NSMB and I'm bashing games with unrealistic graphics?

"This soundtrack musically exemplifies the intensity, attitude and adrenaline of Need for Speed NITRO," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "This energetic collection of rock, electronic and hip hop, matches the incredible speed and intensity of a game experience players will never forget."

I'm uncomfortable with the amount of NFS games being pooped out on a regular these days.

The series died after Hot Persuit. #needforspeednitro

@D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch: Not very nice of you to say they "pooped" this out.

That would imply that there was some digestion/work involved here.

The verb you are looking for is "puked". #needforspeednitro

@D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch: @Yossarian: I'm not going to disagree that the series went downhill after 3. Most Wanted and Underground 1 were fun, and honestly they were all that I played of NFS since 3 and until Shift. Shift is pretty good, I just wish they'd stop excreting new games and beef up the ones they've just put out (aside from absurd amounts of overcosted DLC and full-game unlocks). #needforspeednitro
