1. Max Payne 3 - HEALTH
Beating tribal drums, wailing guitar riffs and trippy electronica are the soundtrack to the best Max Payne outing to date. Gunning down bad guys in super slo-mo has always been cool: doing it backed by HEALTHs pounding noise-rock score is one of the best game experiences of the past five years. From the frantic nightclub shootout, to the climactic airport showdown, HEALTHs twenty-seven piece OST is the perfect fuel for Maxs insane, one-man vendetta. Pinned down by the entirety of Sao Paulos corrupt Elite Squad, itd be easy to just sit in cover and pick your shots. But then TEARS swells up, and you cant help but dive gun-first into the thick of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEH_LSL4rVw And then theres the shimmering night time sniper duel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rul72bgXugo And the tortured scenes of Max drinking in his apartment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eWx0Ninqz0 Its impossible to pick just one great track from the Max Payne 3 album. From start to finish its the perfect accompaniment to Rockstars drunken shooter, giving every level its own distinctive sound, and setting the pace for ensuing gunfights. And its a brilliant record by itself; even non-gamers will appreciate HEALTHs Max Payne 3 soundtrack. Fast, furious and powerful, HEALTHs music makes for the most impressive harmony of sound and action ever accomplished in a computer game. Heres one more to play us out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNO2cI7B-Q8 So, what do you think - did we miss any of your favourite original gaming score? Share your own thoughts and picks below...
