Beefy's Corner.......For all off Topic threads

The Walking Dead game. Discussion over.

 

Red Dead Redemption has some great songs on it

 

My favourite would be fifa 04 I think or it might be 05 can't remember. I always seem to hum along to the CoD music in menus and in lobbies, obviously not great music but it is catchy!

 

Ah yes, FIFA 2000. Also had this, which was an absolute tune.

The title song by Robbie Williams was pretty good too.

 

Agreed on Fifa 2000. Awesome soundtrack!

 

That Jose Gonzalez song when you first ride into Mexico. Awesome.

 

That and the compass song worked so well.

Haven't seen this posted yet, progress or what?

 

Best game soundtrack? Now there's an unanswerable question if there ever was one, but I shall mention a few games with great soundtracks.

C&C Tiberium Dawn (i.e. the first C&C game) including such epic tunes as:

ACT ON INSTINCT

The slightly Michael Jackson sounding C&C Thang

The slightly bizarre Mechanical Man

The powerful March to Doom

And of course, No Mercy. NO!!! NO!!! NOO!!! NO MERCY!

 

Clearly you people didn't understand when I said discussion over.

 

Just managed to get £50 a month off my Sky bill .

 

Ended your contract ?

 

Nope I now get every channel, Telephone and Fibre optic broadband(unlimited) for £40 a month.

 

Great shout, that was a serious hit of nostalgia. Hell March from Red Alert still gets me psyched every time I hear it.

 

Anyone else see the thing about North Korea? Their little video they put out?

 

Amazing! Someone I know was on a delayed Tube train earlier and some bloke suddenly started off a spontaneous pub quiz.

Video coming.....

 

Okay, time to continue my quest to reveal the best game soundtracks....

One game here not many people here (if any) would have heard of is a game called Lords of Magic (Special Edition). Essentially it was a fantasy-TBS from sometime in the late 90s. I played the demo and the music alone made me want to get the game. Essentially, you play as one of several different faiths: Order, Chaos, Life, Death, Earth, Air, Water, Fire and each of the faiths had their own songs which were good and incredible atmospheric. For example, the Water Theme.

I like the fact that it almost sounds like it's under water, hearing the flows of currents and so on and a call that sounds like that of a whale.

The Life theme is also good and seems to make me think of an ancient world of some kind.

And the Air theme, which really evokes images of cold, wind-beaten mountains and so on.

[video=youtube;9WafzOpjL5w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WafzOpjL5w[/video]

The order theme evokes medieval themes but with a certain kind of Roman or Greek kind of themes throughout, as in a well-developed, advanced imperial culture.

Great game. Great game.

 

So you have seen me first thing in the morning.

 

I'd have thought Mrs Godders would make you wear a Morgan mask to bed?

 

Anyone else seen Age of Empires 2 HD? http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/08/age-of-empires-ii-hd-is-coming-to-steam-and-were-reeeaady/

Ridiculously excited, one of the best games of my childhood.
