You can listen to the London Philharmonic edition of the Call of Duty: MW2 theme right now, which sounds amazing. The album is avaliable to preorder through Amazon.
I can see Tetris working with full orchestration but Angry Birds? Uhm.
You mean this?

No SOTC? Sad, as the music is fantastic, but oh well.
Tis a shame. Best game soundtrack of them all in my opinion.
Exactly, damn tunes go round my head so much, played the game last years ago..
I got the soundtrack imported after playing SOTC (same time I got the “gamers guide to REZ” soundtrack iirc and still play it constantly :)
Where is Morrowind’s theme? As imo tis better then Oblivion’s. I would have chose the MGS Saga song. Where is DAO’s theme song? Where is Devil may cry’s theme song? I personally think they made some mistakes
There seems to be a lack of some classic VGM. It’s mostly songs from last gen and this gen. :-/ At least they have included FF as that would be a crime not to. Imo. I’ll probably listen to it on YouTube. What? Don’t judge me.*flees into GC* :p
Good to see Harry Greggson Williams’ Metal Gear stuff in there, love that soundtrack. Nate’s theme is also brilliant.
I bet the final fantasy stuff will be good and the metal gear
Would of liked to of seen the Medal of Honour theme song, especially from Rising Sun. The soundtrack for Assassins Creed (Venice Rooftops and all of the songs from AC2) are brilliant and the soundtrack during both COD4 and MW2 are very good too.
Awesome cover to the album.
Main one that stands out for me is the suicide mission from ME2 :) An outsanding section in an outstanding game :)
