What music do you listen to while playing video games?

[Informal Gluttony]

Ghosts I-IV is a great album for games like Quake, etc. etc.

 

[Mynny]

Anything that doesn't fit the game. Most times I'm not in the mood for the music the game has to offer. Or I've played the game so many times/have been stuck in one part of the game so long I'm sick of the music.

 

[Raz]

I listen to what's going on in the game... D:

This and when there's basically no music to listen to (inFamous) I play some Rage against the Machine or Tool. Something along those lines.

 

[Zexilicious]

The game itself or if its like a big battle or something and the music isn't satisfactory, I'll turn on some Behemoth or Tool or something like that, just to get the blood flowing.

 

[Iwrestledabearonce]

Any form of hard rock.

Or techno. Techno pumps me the hell up whenever I game. I guess 130+ BPM makes you snipe well.

 

[LionHeart14]

I usually just put my Ipod on shuffle. And then skip through until I find something I feel like listening to lol. It also depends on the game I'm playing I guess. Some games, like SSX3, I just listen to the songs on there. Because that game has a freakin awesome soundtrack lol. That game's introduced me to a lot of awesome songs.

 

[Syaoran-Kun]

Hard or Death metal rock.

 

[Skye]

i'll go for speed rock for in fighting games or dynasty/samurai warrriors..

I don't play music while playing video games to answer your question...

Though if the game is getting really boring I will place in a earphone and place my ipod on shuffle...

 

[Diomedes]

I listen to what's going on in the game... D:

 

[Crossroads]

If it's not the game music, it's Metal or something like that.

I remember listening to Underoath's "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door" while playing ToS one time. That was awesome.

 

[testify]

I only listen to the music in the game while I'm playing it

 

[_EX]

I thought Battle of Evermore and Stariway to Heaven from Led Zeppelin IV fitted well together with Shadow of the Colossus. Man i love that Game.

 

[Crazium]

I listen to Animal Collective while playing Guitar Hero 12

 

[Shadow_]

I only listen to the games music I don't want to miss out anythign in the game thats why.

 

[Chakolat Strawberry]

Or, of course, the music of the game itself.

This.
But if the game has really shitty music, then I go to my iPod.

 

[Zexilicious]

I thought Battle of Evermore and Stariway to Heaven from Led Zeppelin IV fitted well together with Shadow of the Colossus. Man i love that Game.

Ambient music really works well with Shadow of the Colossus and Ico for me. Especially when riding to find the Colossi

 

[Jinjo]

Rush
Yes
Elo
Beatles(Revolver-Get Back)
Aerosmith
Pink Floyd

 

[Vampirelady~]

Usually death/black/doom metal etc.
For example Swallow The Sun really helps you to concentrate on kicking someones ass.
But sometimes I listen to random anime opening themes or other random music, but it really depends on the game.
