Yes! Almost all of my favorite OSTs were chosen. <3

rrquinta5011d ago

I like how someone disagreed with you. Obviously, you don't have a right to your own opinion of your own favorite soundtracks...

Eddie201015011d ago (Edited 5011d ago )

Some great ones for me were, besides some of the ones listed in the article:

The God Of War Sound tracks
The Halo sound tracks
Little Big Planet
Mass Effect 1 and 2
Uncharted 1 And 2
Bioshock 1 and 2
Silent Hill games
Actraiser

tigresa5011d ago

Oh snap - Silent Hill good point. Silent Hill 2 is one of my favorite soundtracks.

Heart1lly5011d ago

I love the Chrono Cross soundtrack...everyone had some really great picks and didn't just go with the obvious choices (like any Final Fantasy soundtrack).

ShadowPraxis5011d ago

I still need to play Fragile Dreams :/

rrquinta5011d ago

I don't lie when I say it was one of the biggest heart-breaking disappointments of my gaming life. It wasn't a great game, but it was magical, and then they just ruined it. :( Just fair warning. The soundtrack, however, is phenomenal.

N4GAddict5011d ago

I want to play it too. It seems very interesting.

bclub_cali5011d ago

really great soundtracks chosen here! thumbs up!

Heart1lly5011d ago

Nope. Because everyone is expecting Final Fantasy.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming22d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long22d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming22d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10122d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor22d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming22d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno22d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming22d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan33d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

MEGANE33d ago

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!
🦇

🧛🔥🔥 🔥

anast33d ago

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos33d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7733d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
