Music to Game By

When the game's soundtrack loops for the 500th time, I will occasionally (re: always) switch to something else. Here is some of the best music to game by, in my opinion.

Sabatoge by the Beastie Boys

It might just be Star Trek getting to me, but I findthis song to bethe perfect thing to listen to while playing pretty much any racing game. Nothing can be more fine than bashing through traffic in Burnout while listening to Mike D scream into the mike.

Indestructible by Disturbed

Ah, Disturbed. One of my favorite bands.And, coincidentally,Indestructible is probably the ultimate Halo fightsong. I love to go blasting my way through hordes of Monster-fueled shooter fans with this blaring in the background. "I'm INDESTRUCTIBLE! Determination that is incorruptible..."

Yakkety Sacks

As evidenced by countless YouTube videos, Yakkety Sacks (I might havemispelled this)is the ultimate "let's go do random sh*t" song. Doncha just love to go around slaughtering helpless civilians while listening to the Benny Hill music? Yeah, so do I.

Volunteers by Jefferson Airplane

Another "let's go do random sh*t song." This is especially fun to blast while running like heck away from pissed off guards, civilians, demons from the otherworldly plane, etc. Wheee!

Adagio for Strings

Can't quite remember the name of the musician who did this, but it is a AMAZING song to play while playing any violent game (yes, I am copying Platoon). I especially like to mute everything else in, say, Burnout Paradise, turn this on and play Showtime mode. The contrast is just...amazing.

The HotSpot

Technically not a "song," the GameSpot podcast is the best thing to listen to when playing any MMO or other grind game. I've whiled away countless hours killing Charr in Guild Wars while listening to the wry wit and (depending on whether Tor is on or not) utter chaos of my favorite Tuesday past time. May the HotSpot never die!
