Dawn of War II soundtrack available for free
by Sam Naylor on April 29, 2009

Steam news is reporting that the official Dawn of War II soundtrack is available to download. Simply go here, scroll down, and download the archive. The 20 tracks are in 320Kbps, so that should keep all but the most avid audiophiles happy. Game soundtracks, for me, are in a strange category. They’re most often brilliant, but rarely the kind of thing you’d listen to on a normal occasion. They’re sort of the gentleman’s suit of the music world.
The tracks are courtesy of Relic Composer, Doyle W. Donehoo and Audio Lead, Jason Ross with contributions by artist Noah Stacey and Noobie Noobinson, as well as THQ, Games Workshop, and Steam. Hit the jump if you need to know the tracklist in full.

Mushroom Men: Give a Beat Down in Perfect Time
by Chelsea Thompson on November 4, 2008

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mushroom Men: Spore Wars, it’s a quirky little platformer coming out in the Wii next month. After a meteor crashes on Earth, four tribes of Mushroom Men gain consciousness and fight against each other (and other plants come to life) for the right to survive.
What’s cool about this game is that Les Claypool, bassist of Primus, had a heavy hand in both contributing to and influencing the game’s music. Working with audio company GL33k founded by Matt Piersall, a truly unique audio experience was born. You see, the noises and sound effects in Mushroom Men aren’t merely ambient sounds–all of the outdoor noises follow the same beat! Read more…
STOP THE PRESSES! Prince of Persia Music Will Have Heavy Eastern Influence
by Chelsea Thompson on October 30, 2008

Prince of Persia games have a history of being an all-around awesome gaming experience (unless you happen to be playing on PSP). So it’s not surprising that the music also excels in quality. A mix of traditional eastern instruments with a dash of the all-time American favorite electric guitar and some orchestral flair gives you a quality of music normally associated with blockbuster movies. So it’s no surprise that some familiar names are returning to the series to bring us a soundtrack for the new game that Ubisoft boasts will be “a compelling and epic original score.” You hear that? It’s gonna be freaking epic! Read more…
FaceBreaker Soundtrack Released – Music To Pummel By
by Wade Larson on September 2, 2008

Dave Chappelle once said, “Nobody likes getting their ass beat to a soundtrack.” Dave never played FaceBreaker. EA’s arcade-style boxing game’s soundtrack has been announced, and it’s full of Grateful Dead and Jack Johnson. You know — good, mellow stuff.
OK, I lied. The FaceBreaker soundtrack contains tunes with such auspicious names as “Sucker Punch,” “Knock Me Down,” and “Girl Fight.” How appropriate.
