Great game music…

I have a large mix of games, many of the recent additions from yon Humble Indie Bundle.  The great thing about Humble is you always get access to game soundtracks, so there’s a lot of top-quality music available.  Here’s some of my favorites.

I recently stripped out all of my music for space purposes.  Well, all of it except for my game soundtracks.  And Tron and Tron Legacy, but those are still nerdy enough.  I mix them all up, but there are several that just keep coming to my attention for their quality and distinctiveness.

• Bastion — Darren Korb — “acoustic frontier trip hop” — really, really incredible.  Poignant in the game, and it snaps me into another place every time I hear it.
• Bit.Trip Beat — Gaijin Games — Reminds you of Pong, but lots of other techno in there.
• Trine — Ari Pulkkinen — Symphonic, epic, fantastical.  Matches the themes of the game.
• Frozen Synapse — nervous_testpilot — Lonely, a little on the haunting side, but with an underlying thought process.
• Super Meat Boy! – Danny Baranowsky — Spans every genre, often with hilarious results.
