Blockbuster games only

Only the heavy hitters this time around.

Grand Theft Auto - The Collection

All the GTA on Spotify in one big posts. I never really though about GTA music, sure I liked it, even had some tracks saves up as favorites. But listening to all of these radio stations and posting all these blog posts I have realized the radio is a major part of this game, and now I am really looking forward to GTA V, and mostly for the soundtrack.

In this post I have gathered up all the posts I have made about GTA, and I also included a lot of links that have been posted before with GTA content, be it themes, ambient sounds or "Other".

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Chinatown Wars is a smaller game, and the radio stations are not as versatile as the normal games. The names of the radio stations mainly correspond to the names of the musicians or record labels whose music is played on the station.c is played on the station.

Also, due to the size of the game, art also got a bit smaller. Unexpected but understandable.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

Vice City Stories? Its good, but Sequelitis hits soundtracks the same way it does everything else and its no Vice City.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

More GTA, now we are into the smaller stuff, Liberty City Stories.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

San Andreas is serviced by eleven radio stations, the one missing from here is WCTR, the talk radio channel. However, San Andreas has one of the biggest soundtracks of the GTA games, and whomever is setting up these radio channels over at Rockstar is constantly improving in his DJ'ing ability since GTA III.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

I love Vice City so much, its the only GTA game I ever finished, and the one soundtrack I always keep in the car. Is it because I have a love affair with 80s music? Perhaps, but you will be hard pressed to find a better collection of "Best of the 80s" anywhere else.

Grand Theft Auto III

GTA III had a lot of custom music and as such, the playlists for this one is very limited. Also, some stuff, like Flashback is just tracks of Scarface soundtrack. It's a good selection, but no Vice City.

Grand Theft Auto IV & Episodes from Liberty City

A few playlist posts upcoming. Rockstar has released a full set of playlists that feature every radio station in all their games on Spotify. That is so pure game music that I need to make a few posts about it.

So, lets start off with GTA IV and its episodes

Finally! Bionic Commando!

Been away for a while, took a holiday to Rome so not been looking at Spotify or the blog for quite a while. I come back from Rome and what do I see? Bionic Commando is finally released on Spotify in an area where I reside!

Also, Paradox is back with 4 new albums, always delivering the content, great work guys.

Contre Jour

Contre Jour is one of those soundtracks that are well worth a listen to. Game is not half bad either.

Game Sounds Unlimited

I have had these links in my “to post” word document for quite a while now, and I have been wondering how to link them.

These albums are game related, but they are also horribly generic, so be warned. Most of the music on these albums can be found with better production value on other albums, but if you really need that fix for Soviet Connection or Gears of War Theme I guess this is a way to get them.

Oh, also be warned, a lot of these tracks are from the movie version of the game, so yea, good luck with that.
