Here’s an interesting blog featuring tracks from video game soundtracks, along with a bit of insightful commentary and historical context. Not only do they include symphonic renditions of tracks from Final Fantasy, there are nods to more obscure tracks such as the medievel-eque vocal track“You Were There” from ICO [PS2], “Let Mom Sleep,” the breakdance-inspiring title track from Jet Grind Radio [Dreamcast], the brooding, Eastern-European “Waiting For Action” track that opens Hitman 2 [Mult.], and the instrumental 90s-Jrock combat accompaniment, “Blue Water, Blue Sky “ from Guilty Gear X [Arcade].

I had Hitman 2 for the PC and loved the puzzle-solving / strategy aspect combined with the creeipiness of the environment and badass factor. Hearing the soundtrack makes me want to dig up those disks and pretend to be a bald super assassin once again.
