Best Video Game soundtracks?
Sep 5, 2008

Would you put the "Diablo III Overture" on your playlist, or perhaps "Legends of Azeroth"? We're not quite sure if we'd kick back to a Wow soundtrack, but if that's your cup of tea, Blizzard game themes are now appearing on iTunes.
Perhaps Warcraft III Reign of Chaos gets you pumped before a night on the town? Or maybe you'd prefer kicking back to the music of Wow: Taverns of Azeroth.

Blizzard has announced several big game soundtracks are available on iTunes. The list includes:

- StarCraft Original Soundtrack
- Diablo II Original Soundtrack
- Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Original Soundtrack
- World of Warcraft Original Soundtrack
- World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Original Soundtrack
- World of Warcraft: Taverns of Azeroth Original Soundtrack


Movie music soundtracks are big business, but do game soundtracks have the same potential?

There's a huge array online, including:

- Command and Conquer Renegade
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- EverQuest 2
- The Final Fantasy XI Piano Collection (our personal favourite)
- Rockman 9 original soundtrack


Apparantly this is Amazon's best selling video game soundtrack

The best selling game soundtrack on Amazon Anime & Video Game Soundtracks section? It's the Halo 3 Original Soundtrack (2-CD Set). Looks like there's no accounting for taste.
