Best Songs To Game To

Comprox

Ok, I don't want any "OMG, I LOVE THIS BAND", I am just looking for the best songs you guys like to play games to, preferably something NS like (as in, not playing pokemon, it invovles attacking and such <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->). And there is a reason behind this, not just some spammy post breaking our own forum rules as some as you may interpret. The songs can be instrumental or include voices, just whatever gets the blood pumping while ingame! oh, and no "no music for me" posts, that doesn't help one bit, thanks.

Ill start off with:

We Will Rock you - Queen (duh!)
Theme Hockey Night in Canada ^^

pardzh

Whenever (rarely) I listen to MP3's or CD's underneath my games, it's Hip Hop.

Notice Hip Hop, not "GANGSTA RAP UP IN YOU PIECE".

I would say my favorite song though is N.E.R.D - Rockstar. I like it because it really gets me going and it flows right.

Pulse

Chateau, from The Matrix Reloaded soundtrack is pure ownage, pretty much the best thing you can listen to ingame.

dr_d

Astral Projection- Electronic. Pure unadulterated kickarse. Not to mention it's a solid 9 minutes long and lends itself well to NS because it's hard trance and gives you that nervous need to act feeling.

And I swear sometimes the song just reacts to what happens in game like 3 skulks come around a coner and a crazy break starts up in the song.

acer_r1

C&C music...

Confuzor

Current list:

Beastie Boys - Sabotage
MDK 2 - Rex
Overseer - Supermoves
Prodigy - Breathe
Rammstein - Du Hast
Sonic Mayhem - Descent Into Cerberon

(hmm... I should really test things out with E.S. Posthumus - Pompeii as well)

AgentOrange

I'll list my 3 favorites.

1.Black Rob-Like Whoa
2.Snoop Dogg-Gin and Juice
3.Cypress Hill-Pistol Grip Pump "Sawed of shotgun hand on the pump, left hand on a 40 (puffin' on a blunt!)"


Alot of hiphop and some harder rap, just really get's me flowin and I have a rythym to play to.

BlackMage

anything that puts by subs to use / rox

my list:
disturbed (old album cuz i hate the new one)
slipknot
mudvayne
godsmack
rob zombie
marilyn manson

Sirus

Hans Zimmer

<ul>
<li>Ashes to Ashes
<li>Bakara
<li>Synchrotone
<li>Tribal War
<li>Hunger
</ul>


I don't know about NS-like. I seem overly irritated sometimes if I can't hear footsteps. However, in any FPS game, these are great songs, mainly because they're kind of ethnic, but they have a slow progression to a really fast beat. Which is, really cool, and really sets you up for battles.

Bakara is really cool, it's like an ethnic eastern funk instrumental rap. So crazy... I <i>highly</i> suggest to check it out.

CForrester

Any techno...

Oh, and Rammstein - Engel.

Maus

Oddly, I found that faintly aggressive techno is <i>perfect</i> for DoD. As for NS - it's mostly just moody atmospheric stuff (my <i>Aliens</i> soundtack gets a lot of use, for example).

Seconded

Photek - Ren 2 (Animatrix Goodness)
Fluke - Zion


And I'm sure theres more but I can't remeber them


I'll look at my playlist later!

Cereal_KillR

for NS the ambience is nice enough for atmosphere, but most of the time I just listen to random music.

Sirus

I stand by Hans Zimmer

;D

Infinitum

Well it's all dependant on what game I'm playing....

I <i>really</i> only ever have music happening during racing games.

My personal song collection would have to be something along the lines of
<ul>
<li>Antiloop - In My Mind
<li>Antiloop - Purpose in Life
<li>Antiloop - Start Rockin'
<li>Aquabats - Super Rad
<li>Cypress Hill & Roni Size - Child of the Wild West
<li>Overseer - Supermoves
<li>Par-T-One - Just Keep Walkin'
<li>Panjabi MC - Mundian To Bach Ke
<li>Phobia - Finding the Pattern
<li>Røyksopp - Eple
<li>Sir Mix-a-lot - I like big butts
<li>The Cardigans - My Favourite Game (GT2 Mix)
</ul>

Then jam winamp on random and let the groove take over ^_^

*Runs around in Rally Masters*

Sirus

I could only imagine Gorge rushing with Sir-Mix-Alot playing...

Mastodon

Anything that gets me going, really...

<ul>
<li>Living Sacrifice
<li>Origin
<li>Cryptopsy
<li>Carry On
<li>American Nightmare
<li>Floorpunch
<li>Bury Your Dead
<li>Nile
<li>Terror
<li>Figure Four
<li>Comeback Kid
<li>and, of course, Mastodon
</ul>

Although moody, atmopsheric music is good...until you get to killin'.

...

While NSing I don't usually listen to anything, but when I do it's usually the Doom\Doom 2 soundrack, sometimes the Quake 2 soundtrack, sometimes the aforementioned c&c soundtrack. Anything which is either adrenalinating or background, zone-out music. I play best when I'm not concentrating, or thinking about something else, so if I'm starting to think to much (and stuff up kills as a result) I sometimes put headphones on with something on, so I can't hear (or think about) anything else.

I have the perfect song for you to play while playing NS. It's great when you are against 3 + skulks and you take them all on xD ::::Juno Reactor Vs Don Davis - Burly Brawl::::

It's the music from the matrix reloaded when Neo fights loads of Agent Smiths.

SO SO SO good to play with <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The only time i've ever played NS with different music was when i was trying a little experiment. I was seeing if it were possible to play NS well with excessively loud, fast and perky Japanese Eurobeat / Parapara playing. This consisted of groups like:

<ul>
<li>Bazooka Girls
<li>Mad Cow And The Royal Eurobeat Orchestra Of Bazookistan
<li>Garcon
<li>MAX
<li>Digi Charat (Party Night, Hyper Parapara Version)
<li>Aaron Kwok
<li> ... and so on ...
</ul>

But as for other games, i've found Mortiis to be exceptionally good for background ambience. But if i'm on a straight out, kill everything, deathmatch, i like to put on a bit of death metal ...
