Best Game Soundtracks of 2014

Say what you will about the past year for gaming, it was pretty fantastic if you were looking for some tunes to jam to.  Helping to run VGR has more or less made it my job to find the best music in video games, and there's a huge variety to choose from this go round.  If you're looking for some OST's to buy, here's a few I'd recommend.

Honorable Mentions:

Payday 2

While the base game came out last year, Payday 2 has been getting more DLC than most games do, at a pretty regular rate as well.  Great if you were looking to prolong the game, but purchase wasn't even necessary for some, and new heists only required ownership to host.  Simon Viklund continues to put out awesome, pulse-pounding tracks to help set the mood whenever your heist goes loud.  The same trick of making the music rise and fall with the action has yet to get old, and can still give you a tactical edge in game, letting your crew prep when things are about to get dicey.  Another nice addition was the music selector in game, so if Evil Eye just won't stop playing in your head, or you want to pick something from Payday 1, you've got the option.

VGR 408

Full house tonight with special guests Guy and Andrea on top of the regular cast.  Ryan and Trey geek out about Shadow of Mordor while I geek out about all the different drape options in Dragon Age.  All that and actual news and music, so make sure to check it out.

...seriously?

I can't tell if I should hang my head in shame or if this is the best announcement from E3 yet.

...

Oh, there was Megaman too, y'know, cause he's cool.  Not quite Wii Fit Trainer cool, but still cool.

Can't wait for some good Smash Remixes of Megaman tunes

VGR - Fighting Show

Time to show me yo moves and get in some sonic booms as we check out the best music from fighting games, while we contemplate that eternal question:  is there anything that Guile's theme doesn't go with?
