From the Commodore 64 to the modern day, check out 35 of videogaming's best ever soundtracks (and listen to them here...)
Games are often praised for their amazing visuals, deep, complex gameplay and well-written narrative, but music is also a big part of the media. Just as it forms an essential part of any movie's atmosphere, games need the right soundtrack in order to fully immerse the player into the game world. A rousing audio track can stir the emotions, properly relay the heroic nature of a protagonist, or instil fear when needed.
Games soundtracks are, arguably, much more important than other media, as the player is the star, in full control of the action. Whilst music in movies is hugely important, in a game the audio doesn't just accompany the visuals, but has to pair up perfectly with the player's actions and the events onscreen...

#11. Breaking the Girl - Jamie Babbit Described by Jamie Babbit as a "genre-trashy fun; gratuitous girl-on-girl make-out scenes and three-inch heels", Breaking the Girl which is based on a screenplay by Mark Distefano and American Psycho's Guinevere Turner stars indie actors Madeline Zima, Shawn Ashmore and Agnes Bruckner. Having presented a pair of short films almost a decade back (her 2002 short “Stuck,” was a winner of the 2002 Sundance Film Festival's Special Mention Jury Prize), Babbit's (middle person in random set pic above) latest would be a good fit for a Park City at Midnight showing. Gist: When university student Sara (Bruckner) is slandered by a hostile classmate, she is befriended by the manipulative Alex (Zima) who proposes the perfect, untraceable crime - to kill each other's arch enemies. When Alex actually goes through with it, Sara finds herself being framed for murder. Producers: Unknown(Ioncinema.com Preview Page // IMDb...
