MadGonzo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Gears of war on the PC, they added a new track to the newly added chapters on the PC version... The track they added is extremly atmospheric, with builds but never going into a breakdown untill your actually fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_ultima Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'll have to add another recommendation the Silent Hill games, with the second and third doing a particularly good job of conveying the mood. For another suggestion, I think the first Devil May Cry had an interesting ambient soundtrack, which transitioned into the harder fighting tracks nicely. The later games did it fairly well, too, but in the first game there was still the idea of "survival horror," whereas I feel the following games had moved solely into "action". Still great soundtracks all around, but the first one is a bit different from the others. - Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of war, great choice. Excellent game, excellent soundtrack. A must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifirit Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this (that I saw). The Silent Hill games (especially 2) have amazing music and sounds that set the atmosphere of the game. Hell, the games are pretty much all about atmosphere and how god damned scary a little fog can be. This video isn't a great example, but I think it does the trick =D Definitely! Akira Yamaoka is a master of mood. Even in the least interesting game, Silent Hill 0rigins, there are points were the music set up more of a mood than was actually there in the game. The first game still wins in my book, though, for most scary mood. Additionally, I just have to nominate Rule of Rose for having an absolutely phenominal atmospheric soundtrack. And an incredibly diverse use of a chamber orchestra. Rule of Rose - haunting Rule of Rose - it's gonna getcha Rule of Rose - sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
