I think the title 'The Greatest Video Game Music' is a bit of a misnomer, but it's quite good nonetheless.
This album is definitely skewed toward games that are considered popular now, as opposed to more retro titles. Personally, I view that as a plus, just because I don't have much from modern titles in my game soundtrack collection.
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.

After listening to a few of the tracks, this is an absolute steal for $1.99. Thanks for the heads up, and now I will be spending part of my evening listening to the full album.
Oh darn I just bought it for $2.99. I found it hilarious that the Angry Birds theme was somehow in there. It is a surprisingly good orchestral song, but I was still laughing my ass of while listening to it.
And by "Greatest Video Game Music" they mean "30 tracks from random popular games released over the last 10 years"
Angry Birds theme song?
Really?

lol, I can get way better then this for free just a bunch of mediocre songs from AAA games only gusty garden is any good
"I can't get really good music from popular games for 3 dollars, and it doesn't contain games that I think should be on a CD with that title!"
Purchased. No regrets.

Always been a London Phil fan. You can always depend on their productions being top notch. I must admit, I like the Angry Birds theme. It even sounds like a piece Stravinsky came up with one day. That being a good thing.
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.

Dammit I could have saved a dollar if I checked here first for the code THAT DOLLAR I WILL MISS THEE where's a pic of Mr. Krabs when I need one.
that being said, I saw them playing live in 2006 and then again in 2008 when Video Games Live worked with them..
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 too am a sadfaced Canadian. Friggin' redundant copyright laws. Looks like I gotta pirate it. WHY WON'T YOU TAKE MY TWO DOLLARS, WHYYYY!!?
I can only get $1 off if I pay the foreign currency fee. IS IT WORTH IT!? Yes, when the UK only gets the CD, which is £9.23
@Naturality Can you buy the US version? i've been wondering because Amason.com dont like giving out music like that (I mean, look at the comments from Canada being unable to get it)
The fact people are bitching about Angry Birds being on the soundtrack and glossing over the fact the game starts off with a track from critical flop Advent Rising kills me.
Angry Birds is the top downloaded app on the iPhone. There's no denying it has done something for the games industry.
