I gotta say, I love the fact that I can play whatever music I want during games. So, I thought I'd ask Gamespot what music they like to play with what game. Me, I like to play Marilyn Manson's Fight Song while going on a Cyrodil-wide killing spree :) I'm not a fan of Marylin Manson, but it's a nice song to play to. And, of course, the Mjolnir remix of the Halo theme (the guitar one from the second game's credits) while playing Halo 3!

it depends on the game, but id say techno gets me in the mood for a game more than anythings else. it's like a hidden mesage in techno that urges me to do better

Whatever's on the soundtrack. I prefer to let the creators provide the music, if only to get a sense of their overall vision. Not that it's always better, but it does give a better sense of what they're going for.

Besides, there aren't many games out there that I think would suit the kind of music I listen to anyway.

I listen to Tech N9ne & Kottonmouth Kings when playing a racing game or Nine Inch Nails & Psyclon Nine sometimes during Gears. I grew up to Manson so it kind of grew on me through the years. This is a good topic, I've thought of posting this one up for months now.

I like to listen to Senses Fail when I play Halo 3 even though I'm not a big fan. When I first played it I thought, "I should video this and add the music on and put it onto Youtube", but then I realized I was too lazy to do it.

I see where you're coming from, and I usually like to have the original soundtrack too. However, most games don't have music while in multi-player, so it's great to put on an adrenelin pumping song whileshooting people :)

I think I'm the only person who listens to the game's sound track, or no soundtrack so I can "perform" in multiplayer. I don't like music for multiplayer because I get excited and you just don't play as well when your rev'ed on adrenaline. the only exception is I have to listen to tool when I'm playing Burn out, because I'm never in the mood for their soundtrack even though alot of it is pretty good.

But if you're serious about multiplayer, wouldn't you want to avoid playing your own music, so you can more easily pick up on all of the audio cues? :)

depends on the game

fight games - rap, rap/metal

shooters - metal

racing - old shool rock ALWAYS does the job, along with some hard and punk...

RPG - instrumental

action/adventure - metal & hard rock

annnd i think thats it

sport games i usually dont play with music, i dont know why but i enjoy it more without, except for skate games, skating games the obvious choice is some good old punk...

I am going to change everyone who reads this lives right now. I don't do this often, so you had better appreciate the hell out of it. Follow these directions:

1.) Go to a music store

2.) Buy a CD called "Lifestle Marketing" by Thes One. It is the greatest instrumental disc ever made.

3.) Listen while playing.

4.) Thank metomorrow for making your life better.
