172: Games With Great Music

Here at the Beat of the Month podcast we value the finer things in gaming, and nothing can elevate a game more than a great soundtrack. We've taken a look at game music before with a mini tournament for the best game song of all time, but this time around we take a more laid back approach and just play some games with music that we love. As we talk about the games we bring up a song here and there and talk about why we like it so much. We also talk a bit about what makes a song stand out in a game.

Oh yeah - the games! We talk about a bunch of stuff from indie games Gris and Journey, retro stuff Um Jammer Lammy and Parappa the Rapper 2, modern stuff like Lumines Arise and Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta, and then...Eyetoy stuff? That peripheral from the PS2 era? Yeah we fit that in too.

So grab your headphones, and your headph...oh yeah I guess you listen to music and podcasts with the same equipment. Well anyway, just sit back with whatever listening device you've got and join us for this looks at games with great music!
