In recent times there would have been an instance when we bet you would have liked to rip the music from some of the latest games with excellence in this area and listen without having to play the actual game. If you’re interested, follow Koroush “PersianImmortal” Ghazi as he gives us a full run down on just how it is done with examples from all of the latest games!
There was once a time when the music in a game was almost non-existent, or cringe-worthy at best. Most of the time it was electronic muzak of some kind and either you tuned it out mentally or turned it off it was so monotonous. There have been a few games which did have nice tunes, but nothing you’d really want to burn to CD and play repeatedly.
Nowadays computer games are getting more and more like Hollywood movies. Game developers are throwing large sums of money into making sure all aspects of a game, not just the graphics engine or the packaging and manual are highly professional. This translates into much better voice acting, better quality in-game videos, and of course much, much better music. Some of it is so good now, it’s released as a separate retail soundtrack on Audio CD.
Some standout game music for me this past year includes the soundtracks from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Mafia, James Bond 007: Nightfire, Jedi Outcast, Battlefield 1942, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 and NBA Live 2003. No doubt you have your own personal favorites.

I like and play all sorts of mafia games myself, they are very fun to play. There are so many different types on the net. I am more into fast paced games, then the slower based mafia games myself. I like mafia games that have a lot of players in them that makes them a lot more fun!
