For those people who have been bored to death by some of the cutscenes
in Metal Gear Solid 4 there is a solution which not only makes the game
watchable but also an amazing experience…all thanks to Valve.

It’s a long story how this came about but after significant searching we have
found the ideal soundtrack that goes with any MGS4 cutscene. All of which
are noticeably lacking any music bar those few exceptions.

To reap the benefits and make the game better one simply purchases the
Valve - Orange Box official sound track and play the tracks from the
Half-Life 2 soundtrack while cutscenes are going using an MP3 player.
Specifically the best to match the visuals are those listed below.

Guard Down
Last Legs
Sector Sweep

To play them simply listen to another audio device at a reasonable level
so you can hear the PS3 (subtitles on is a suggestion also) and what results
is the perfect soundtrack. So not only does Valve’s gaming contributions keep
on giving with additional maps, weapons and achievements but their
soundtracks help you through life. In those rare instances when not playing
Team Fortress 2. Speaking of which, I know a scout that’s been asking for it,
so my turret will answer…

Grand Theft Auto has always been the best game series for custom soundtracks and while PC users cannot use their MP3s in the game there is still the option to use another device to play music while playing on your console to add your own soundtrack to the newest game. Be it in GTA4 or in a previous GTA title what do you consider the ultimate tracks for driving around the city murdering and breaking all the laws?

Here are a few of this journalists favorites organised by whats going on in the game at the time:

Well, not really. But if I did this would be exactly the kind of thing I’d be looking for. It’s the Sound Hat from iLogic.

Having been a gadget news and reviews writer for quite some time I’ve seen my share of the sublime and ridiculous in the world of tech. But here’s something that’s a little out of this world-the U200i UFO watch (cringe).

In terms of the sublime and ridiculous I’m not sure where this fits in. It certainly is different. Not only is it a watch, but an MP3 player and cell phone.

OK, so most of the latest mobile phones have music playing capabilty, and they can also tell the time-believe it or not. But I’ve never seen a mash-up quite like this. It looks like something that should have been in the Back To The Future films.

 For those who are into music in a big, or even little way
you should have heard of Nine Inch Nails. Even if you have
not what you might like to know is the huge band has
released a new single from their next album online to
download for free.

The only catch is you have to put in an email address to
receive a time-limited download link for the MP3 file.
Doesn’t seem so bad so why not give it a try? The server
is even pretty fast for the download.
