Fancy some tunes to play with your next candlelit dinner? Epic has you covered.

Some game soundtracks I can understand and forgive me if I sound like an (ironically) broken record, but games like Monkey Island and Beyond Good and Evil had music which should have been top of the charts. Outcast and Fallout spring to mind as games with awesome tunes too - not to mention the Zelda series.

To me, Unreal Tournament 3 is, despite all it's awesomeness, not a game which will sell a lot of records. Epic seem to have other ideas though and will apparently be releasing a full soundtrack for the game later this year.

The fully original soundtrack clocks in at 120 minutes long and is composed by Rom Di Prisco and Jesper Kyd, who between them have worked on classics like the Need for Speed and Hitman games. The soundtrack will go on sale on November 20th and is being tentatively described only as a technofest.

Personally, I'd prefer some with more of an anti-folk bent for when I'm relaxing at home but I'm sure there's a market for this type of thing among all you hip young gunslingers. After all, somebody keeps buying all this dance music rubbish.

Whether Mark Rein has the music on his IPod or not is something I'll have to check next time I speak to him.

Will you be picking up the OST or are your tastes a little more eclectic? Let us know in the forums.

Jesper Kyd's work in the Hitman games I'd like to buy as a soundtrack... but unless the music in the full UT3 is vary more varied and interesting than the demo... no.

Still, I'm sure there are people out there who will buy it.

I'm more likeley to extract the ogg files or whatever there're using from the assets & convert to mp3 than buy a game soundtrack...

Why convert it to mp3? @_@

Anyhow... Zelda Soundtracks <33

unreal tournament had a very good soundtrack it was mostly meant for ambient listening but it was still good none the less. I personally would pick up any of jesper kyd's hitman work, him + the budapest orchestra was pretty amazing

lol, so true, if you do, you'd want to fit some blades onto your car, and have a boost function together with a eject-then-blowup button.
