I'm sure the title will cause some to argue and proceed to list many worthy songs that did not make the cut, but the London Philharmonic Orchestra's album The Greatest Video Game Music is a good sampling of tunes taken from more recent mainstream hits.
It's available digitally from Amazon for $1.99 when you use the code "GAMESMP3." The price is certainly right. This promo offer is valid through November 30, so there is plenty of time to dismantle your couch in search of long-lost spare change.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

However, I could do without the Angry Birds theme. I'll probably refrain from actually downloading that one. :P
As for Metroid, it sucks it's not in there, but given the skew toward modern hits, it makes sense they left it out. The series hasn't seen a hit for almost 5 years and Other:M left a bad taste in a lot of mouths. If you want some Metroid music, I highly recommend checking out the free 'Harmony of a Hunter' fan album.

Angry Birds theme song?
Really?
Purchased. No regrets.
Now the track list is mostly mainstream stuff, and I suppose I can understand why. For the price, it's hard to complain. Still, I'm trying to exercise restraint in online purchases and there are only about 4 or 5 tracks I'm interested in.
I think I'm giving in.
Anyway, great music!
RAGGGGGGGGEEEEE
Wish VGL would come back to Britain. they've not come in 2 years now, though i think the LPO are doing another videogame music show (which i only heard about a month after it had been, drat)
I was about to buy it when I commented, but alas, no I can't. :(
Angry Birds is the top downloaded app on the iPhone. There's no denying it has done something for the games industry.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS going to buy music instead of steal it. Thanks Amazon.
