Halo Legends OST readying for February 9 release
If Halo Waypoint, Halo Legends, Halo: Reach and ... uhh ... Halo: The Aquarium weren't enough for your Halofied brain to soak in during the early parts of 2010, Sumthing Else Music today announced plans to release the Halo Legends original soundtrack at brick-and-mortar outlets and online starting on February 9. The disc comes packed with original music from composers Tetsuya Takahashi and Yasuharu Takanashi that was, as you might imagine, featured in the various Halo Legends episodes that premiered over the last few weeks on Xbox Live. We imagine that the hardcore Halo fans among you are already lining up for the impending February release, $16 at the ready -- may we suggest the kickin' jams from Halo 3: ODST to aid in your wait? Would that be too weird? %Gallery-68583%
Resident Evil 5 soundtrack available today
What a marvelous age we live in. We remember having to buy soundtracks to our favorite Japanese games through mail-order or at the occasional convention. Thanks to Capcom's deal with Sumthing Else Music Works, you can buy soundtrack collections from the publisher's games right over the Internet. Downloadable game music isn't exactly new, with Square Enix having made notable strides, but it never fails to wow us.The announcement that the Resident Evil 5 soundtrack collection will be available today is one of the more impressive downloadable soundtrack offerings yet. The three-disc collection (well, it's three discs in its physical incarnation) contains 86 tracks from the game. You can also go get it at a store today, if you happen to leave the house for some reason. Pricing for the digital version has yet to be shown, but Amazon is selling the disc collection for a mere $18.98.

Halo Wars gets soundtracked for Feb 17th release

Mass Effect soundtrack due November 20
While most Xbox 360 owners prepare to trek down to their favorite store or wait no-so patiently by the mailbox tomorrow for their chance to play BioWare's latest opus Mass Effect, Sumthing Else Music Works has announced that players can also pick up the game's official soundtrack on November 20, perfect for those times spent plotting against Saren while away from the console.The soundtrack was put together by veteran game music composers Jack Wall (Myst, Jade Empire) and Sam Hulick (Maximo vs. Army of Zin), with additional tracks by Richard Jacques (The Club) and film and television composer David Kates (Battlestar Galactica, Man of the Year). More interesting than the name dropping, however, is that soundtrack's blend of " 80's electronic music with modern orchestral scoring" apparently takes inspiration from some of our favorite films, such as Blade Runner and Dune, all but guaranteeing a trip to the cash register. What can we say? We're weak.
