I don't think I'll ever be able to disassociate Laura Bailey from Lust.
At least what little I've heard of her Blaze didn't sound much like said homunculus.

...oh... we're talking about Laura Bailey in this thread...
:|
"hey guys you weren't tired of her high pitched voice in almost every game you've played in the past few years? listen to her in sonic games for a few more years lol"
Edit: I'd prefer it if she used her Lust/Kaine voice more often. She's great at her job, but man I can't stand to hear the higher pitched voices she can do because I've heard them in games and anime for years.
I can't help but to feel like one of the most iconic BGMs of the generation is Kyd's Ezio's Family. Not completely because it's been in several AC games and was generally used to enhance the cutscene direction and was remixed several times in the Ezio games, but partially because of its movements from choral elements, a guitar, and strings, finally culminating into a climax of determination. I love that BGM a ton. :3
Edit: Semi-related: Damn, Takeshi Taneda plays a mean bass on the Sonic Generations soundtrack.

Halo's soundtracks are very good, and even better in context. I haven't listened to 4 yet, though. Was Mighty Switch Force indie? That had a rather rhythmic soundtrack, it was an easy way to measure how far virt has come in games composition, and it was one of the better ones last year. Rayman Origins' soundtrack was very catchy too. Super Stardust Delta's soundtrack isn't bad either. However, you do have a point that a lot of the rhythmic stuff comes from indie games.

Listening to Ezio's Family has forced my hand to bring in it's alternative companion Venice Rooftops, the best remix.
I didn't really notice how good this soundtrack was when I was actually playing the game, oh I hate when that happens! It does stick a bit too much to the central theme though.
Give me some time and I might be able to rustle up some other good Western Soundtracks under the no indie ruling, maybe.

I suppose "indie" is a bad phrase for what I'm thinking... not-retail-disc-titles, primarily. I'm not sure whether WayForward would count as indie or not.
Never heard this before (never played Assassin's Creed), but yeah, that's pretty good, even if it kinda feels like it's trying to build up to something but never quite reaches it.
Still, I like Jesper Kyd's work (particularly his Genesis work, although his MDK2 soundtrack is great too).
Y'know, speaking of good western composers of yesteryear, I forgot Chris Hülsbeck. I only recently discovered the Turrican series's music, but seriously, it's really, really good.
The remix of this remix in Soul Calibur V is my favorite.

It was SC5 that reminded me of it in the first place, it was a nice tune to hear when being arrowed in the shins.
Hey I just remembered a non movie style western soundtrack from this gen on a game that comes on a disc that isn't Indie, Viva Pinata has some nice tunes, of course because it's Grant Kirkhope.
I'd say B&K Nuts and Bolts as well but the great stuff was just remixes of B&K stuff anyway

Our SEGAZine is nearing the submission deadline, so I finally started working on my piece. Figured I'd show a WIP here. Not close to being done, but I just wanted to show it because Bark's face came out so well:
Awesome work so far! For some reason I can sort of see Knuckles fitting in with them. That reminds me, I can't wait for Sonic The Fighters' PSN release! It's gonna be fun fighting you SonicGAFers online

Me too! I'm super stoked about it for some reason, haha. The announcement of that release was why I picked Bean and Bark for my SEGAZine piece
Thanks for the kind words, guys!

I have to be honest, at least Sonic Team is smart in putting either relaxing or catchy music in the Knuckles/Rogue stages on Sonic Adventure 2 because I feel like pulling my heart out when it comes to finding the shards but at least the music kind of soothes me.
And I'm stuck again with emerald hunting, how in the world do I get to the second part of Rogue's first stage?

Yea I just ran into it after running around for who knows how long. I blame Rogue, she doesn't have the great emerald's feel.

Rogue should have had saxophone jazz music.
Why? Because I decree it so.
Wow, we need more Egyptian based levels like this Eggman one, I approve. Needs more of an Egyptian themed music to go along with it though. Do you remember the time Eggman, when you were once the glorious Dr. Robotnik, master villain,moustache twirler and the world record holder for downing WD-40 by the gallon full.
I swear that second key is around here, the radar is screaming at me and there is an exclamation point over Rogue's head but I can't find the bloody key. I'm about to kick something here.
Ahhhh I figured it had to do with digging, just had to find the upgrade. I feel better now.
Eggman: My plan...blow everything up!
I respect that.

I really should get rid of this Mac so I can have a Windows PC again...I'm not a PC gamer at all but some of these with the mods would be fun to play.
10 year old me would be thrilled. I always wanted to play as Super Sonic in all the stages.
Me too, was a huge dream while I was younger. PC master class makes everything better.

Man Eggnan gets all the cool stages to blast through.
Eggman's stages were fun (the longggg outer space level aside). For some reason though I didn't enjoy any of Tails' level (with an exception of the kart level).

Same.
Though I did like the Ark level.
Might have to amend my overall opinion of Sonic Adventure 2...

Of course, OF COURSE!
de Blob! how could I forget...hang on where do the Aussies fall in this?
Well I don't care that soundtrack was RIGHTEOUS! it was SMOOTH! And most importantly of all it was EUPHORIC!
de Blob 2 was my second place for Soundtrack of the year last year so i'm surprised it took me a day to remember it, doesn't get nearly enough love on account of no one actually playing the games.
Oh yeah so about Sonic, yeah he's got attitude and stuff.
Yes!
I've changed my mind, I like Episode II's OST.
I'm not going to tear myself apart trying to decide, but both endings to both games mean a whole lot to me.

Woke up just in time to see the Sonic balloon float by in the Thanksgiving parade on TV. Happy Turkey Day peeps!
He used to be my favourite character back in the day, but I can definitely agree with this sentiment. Still, he's been pretty inoffensive since 2006, and his fight in Generations was pretty fun.
Dammit I missed it!

Pietepiet's drawing's pretty darn good!
This week was too long. Exam at 8:10 AM, finished at 8:45 AM, came home and crashed until 5. Pretty much slept 1-3 hours per day so far since Saturday, so I really needed the sleep.
Ohhh, I missed it. I hope they weren't playing Sonic 4 stuff! Happy American Thanksgiving, AmericaGAF!

It's generally supposed to be a sombre title intro theme, so I guess that's why it sounds like that.Shadow Hog said:

Wright's stare of death stopped Eggman in his tracks from breaking up the pin.
You know I should enjoy that whole character wrestling thing but I can't because WWE13 is just so horrible to watch, I just want to weep for the state of wrestling games every time I look at it.

At least the "create-your-own-story" mode is pretty cool and makes me laugh.

The storyline creator is the only thing i've truly enjoyed in the last 3 or 4 years of the series, unfortunately after they introduced it in 2010 it got very few new features added, but it did give me many hours of fun, more fun than the actual gameplay itself.

I never got into wrestling games. Or wrestling, at all. Neither kayfabe nor more traditional.

I used to be really into it when I was younger. I think that was more because I hung around the boys way more than I did with the girls so I ended up getting into what the guys got into at the time.
I watch it from time to time now when there's nothing else on or if the bf wants to watch it. It's basically the male version of a soap opera.

Goddammit, I forgot that stream was continuing tonight. >_>
Used to be into wrestling as a kid, not much anymore now, though. Still pull out the N64 for a few games of No Mercy with friends, though.

Used to think it was horrible but I'm noticing I enjoy a lot more of it than I did before.
Yeah, that's the weird thing; I think I'm actually enjoying it more than I used to.
