If the goal of your game is to make your player feel like a badass, you can’t really go wrong with good old-fashioned metal. Nothing beats it. Don’t get me wrong, you can still screw it up, but If I had my way, there’d be far fewer sweeping orchestras and more Slayer in games. Because, honestly, it’s freaking metal.
On Today’s Kotaku Mix Tape, we’re serving up a big old heaping dose of Metal. And we’re doing it right here on the front page. No clicking through, just metal. From the thrashing F-Zero X soundtrack to the unspeakable blackness that is Henry Hatsworth In the Puzzling Adventure
Throw up your horns and be counted!
