Metal. Though I only listen to custom music during fighting games, I usually have the standard music on.

In RPGs and FPS I listen to the in-game music. With RTS, fighters, and action games I listen to metal.

Furi-Kun

Exactly. Why "ruin" the atmosphere the game developers try to create with the production of the soundtrack for their videogame?

I have some times played videogames while listening to music on my mp3 but it usually distracts me so I just listen to what the game has to offer.

When I play Persona 4 I never listen to the music. It got old really quick and kind of takes away from the game IMO.

There are lots of games that aren't atmosphere-intensive. Sometimes the music is very replaceable.

If it's something likea Total War, I listen to epic music like Globus, Immediate Music and Two Steps From Hell, and occasionally some symphonic metal.

For shooters, some power metal like Blind Guardian is good.

Even then I just dont feel like listening to something else. The music of the game must be really bad in order for me to listen to something else. :P

When the game has a fantastic soundtrack I don't listen to any music, besides the game's own music. However, when the game lacks interesting tunes I just listen whatever I am in the mood to. Just yesterday I played Tiger Woods 10 while listening to The Rolling Stone's Exile on Main Street and 12x5.

The in-game music is what I listen to if there is any. Outside music only distracts me from the game.

I listen to the game. If the music/ambient etc in the game is bad enough that i need to listen to an outside source i probably wont play the game at all.

For games where I dont need to listen to the characters etc I listen to rap/hip hop and sometimes bassline. But when the music on a game is good, or the story is important to listen to I dont have any music playing

I just put my entire MP3 library on shuffle. I have media controls on my keyboard, so I can skip tracks while still playing if I want to.

EDIT - I only tend to listen to my own music in games that have no in-game music, like racing sims and online multiplayer. Even then, I turn it down so it's in the background.

I concur. There is a reason why game developers spend many tens of thousands of dollars hiring music composers for their games.

I only listen to the game music for anything that isn't on my computer.

And when on my PC, I only sometimes listen to outside music when playing online games.

And I only listen to Japanese music, no english for me.

When I play alone I usually listen to the game's music, but if I have some friends over I ask them to bring some cd's and we listen to pretty much anything that's upbeat. The Sugarcubes and Anamaguchi have been popular choices recently.

If I'm not listening to the game's music I stick Last.fm on so it's a mix of mainly metal and classical, classical is not suitable for most games though :/ On the custom radio station on GTA I stuck a load of Bolt Thrower because it makes awesome aggressive driving music :D

If I'm just doing something repetitive to get something so I can progress, I'll pop on something to ease the boredom, but typically, I'll stick with the game's score.
