[Hell Awaits Us All]

yeah man and whats with all this emphasis on what music sounds like

My point exactly.

dont get me wrong, if videogames are art theyre incredibly shitty art but that just sounded stupid

Nope. Go back to playing Mortal Combat.

 

[hibernal_dream]

p.s. i have played planescape: torment. it's basically the highest achievement of choose-your-own-adventure fiction

No it's fucking not. Most interactive fiction games blow it out of the water.

Alan Wake (08 release)

The ones I am most anticipating are: Too Human, Mass Effect, Bioshock and Halo 3.

they sure don't make <any form of entertainment> like they used too....

 

[Pessimism]

God I miss the old Mortal Kombat games...

Also, someone rec me a good pc game that has come out recently.

 

[MasterOLightning]

That MK vid is awesome. I always really liked the MK characters and universe, even if the games didn't always live up to their potential. MK Deception was actually okay. I liked the story mode. An MK mmorpg might be decent someday.

 

[DarkBliss]

Yep, the myths surrounding the MK characters, the setting and the locales were often more interesting than the one on one fighting(which was always lacking if you ask me), That is why I've enjoyed Shaolin Monks and the Konquest mode of the last MK title so much.

 

[Wires & Waves]

mortal kombat is fucking trash as a fighting game outside of UMK3. then again most people suck at fighting games anyway so it doesnt really make much diff

 

[~ED~]

the only game ive ever played to the hilt is quake 3 <_< piece of junk wont run anything

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Doesnt get much better than this:



The music is also perfection.

 

[DarkBliss]

Wasn't part of Slayer's Behind the Crooked Cross(off South of Heaven) used as a music theme for some of the levels in Doom?
Sounds quite like it.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I believe Trent Reznor was responsible for most of the soundtrack.

 

[CAIRATH]

The soundtrack for the original Doom games was made by Bobby Prince. Trent Reznor made the soundtrack for the first Quake game and did an initial soundtrack for Doom 3 which was never used (and later poorly done by Chris Vrenna).

I remember one of the themes from a Doom level sounded a lot like the chorus riff from Metallica's 'No Remorse', not sure which game it was though. I bought Doom Trilogy (which consisted of Ultimate Doom, Doom II and some Master Levels disc that I never played) ages ago and I used to be hooked to it. Nowadays I usually play Resident Evil or Super Mario, though I've just become addicted to Castlevania.

My all time favourite game has to be Yoshi's Island for the SNES though. Had some good times with that game as a kid.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

'Hanger' song, its from the first level of Doom 95.

 

[RedinTheSky]

I've just become addicted to Castlevania.

Which one (s) are you playing ? Symphony of the night is my favorite.

I only have Circle of the Moon on Game Boy Advance so far, but I'm looking to get another one of the portable ones soon. Any recommendations?
