If I'm playing like Madden though I'll play whatever I see in my yotube favorites whether that even just be older videogame music or random bands like Pennywise, Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, Castevet or ASC....

If it's a game that's dialogue-heavy or requires my full attention, I won't have any music playing as I need to be able to hear what's being said. If it's a racing game or a retro title that I know well, I'll pop in an album and just enjoy the mix of gaming and music. I often do this when I'm listening to new albums, or I'll listen to an old favorite like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Rush.

Posts: 108 Group: Members Member #2,611 Joined: Aug 18, 2010	I don't listen to music with most games I'm playing and if I'm playing something like Black Ops then I'll normally be talking to my friends to I don't need music. If I'm playing alone though I like a whole range of stuff, especially rock.

Posts: 1,480 Group: Members Member #1,443 Joined: Dec 14, 2009	9/10 I'll listen to the games soundtrack, as usually it helps convey the direction the game is supposed to be going in. Playing SotC while rocking out to "Between the Buried and Me" just wouldn't cut it. If it's a repetative game, or the OST sucks, I'll either watch something, or have my playlist on shuffle. Which usually involves the Nier, Fallout and Deadly Premonition soundtracks.

No-nonsense action games require high tempo songs in the background to get you motivated. Project Gotham Racing 3 had Helicopter by Bloc Party which worked very well.

I Like Games. Posts: 1,958 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jan 22, 2009 Currently Playing Hearthstone, Dragon Soul RPG (iOS)	The only time I listen to music when playing a game is when the game I am playing has no music or repetitive music that gets boring, such as starcraft 2. I usually just listen to different game music or listen to a podcast.

The DOG Posts: 4 Group: Members Member #3,271 Joined: Jan 13, 2011	Disturbed, Johnny Cash, Metallica, Damn I'll listen to anything (As long as it ain't that modern day computer only crap)! However if it's a legendary game soundtrack like Metal Gear Solid or Crazy Taxi original (The Offspring) I would listen to the game because the music is just awesome.

If I'm playing anything violent or if i'm playing a racing game i'll listen to Slipknot, Metallica, any heavy metal, the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Soundtrack, any other video game soundtrack, or anything Psychopathic (such as Insane Clown Posse, Boondox, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Twiztid, Dark Lotus, ABK etc.)

Never listen to FPS soundtracks... The music created is either to boring or trying to be to epic for me to want to listen to it. Music must also be extremely fast and intricate.

Usually the game's soundtrack is good enough for me. However I do remember, playing in the arcade while wearing a discman and headphones playing various arcade games. The problem was the sound on some of the arcade games were so low you couldn't hear them with surrounding noise. I remember playing games at the arcade while listening to a lot of dance mix cd's and stuff along those lines.
