The soundtrack was so good that composer Jerry Schroeder released the entire album as a free download, which can be found here.Ĩ.
Hexic HD’s soundtrack is equally relaxing, and is an extraordinary listening experience filled with smooth beats, eclectic sounds and delightful noises. Hexic HD was one of these XBLA games that came preloaded on each console’s hard drive, and featured a low-key and relaxing experience in stark contrast to heart-pumping intensity of Geometry Wars, the XBLA’s best game at the time. Some critics even joked that the titles on XBLA were better than the retail launch games. By playing just before battles, players are given a boost of adrenaline because they get the sense that they are about to take part in something truly epic, and it’s hard to imagine a more epic-er war theme than Battlefield 1943’s.Īfter its launch, the Xbox 360 was renowned for the XBLA’s quality and potential. While not technically a soundtrack as it is one song that plays at the main menu and during loading screens, Livingstone’s memorable theme speaks volumes in intensity, beauty and heroism that are synonymous with World War II. The classic Battlefield theme is nothing new for PC fans of the game, but it makes it’s first triumphant appearance on the Xbox 360 in Battlefield 1943. There are still a lot of great titles on the way for XBLA, and are bound to have fantastic soundtracks worthy of placement among the best. Narrowing the nominees down was difficult, and many great game soundtracks were sadly eliminated. The following list is comprised of the best game soundtracks that can currently be found on XBLA. And lets not forget Video Games Live, a concert series performed by a live orchestra with synchronized video footage and lighting and effects. Even digital download services like iTunes have been selling game soundtracks. OverClocked ReMix is a site where devoted users create and upload remixed and reinterpreted arrangements of game music to download, all for free. Some major gaming sites, like GamesRadar, feature a Game Music of the Day article beside their daily features and news articles. Countless fan sites, blogs and file sharing websites have gone up in dedication to game music. While some fans have been enjoying game music for years, the popularity of videogame soundtracks has risen sharply in the last decade.
What would game franchises like Super Mario Brothers, Halo, Final Fantasy, Mega Man, The Legend of Zelda and Metal Gear Solid be like without their amazing soundtracks to go along with them? Some of the most popular and iconic games in history have equally iconic musical scores to go along with them. The world of video game music is vast and exciting, but one that I feel is often overlooked.
