God Of War II Soundtrack: Pick Your Poison
Sony again. Sorry. This time it’s music to your fears: Sony’s holding a contest, God of Noise, to determine which bands will thrash alongside Kratos in God of War II. Game|Life points out the obvious and disheartening similarity to Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia Godsmack blunder, which irked a whole lot of otherwise Prince-loving fans and caused headaches both literal and figurative. So that’s a lesson, a person might think, in aural pitfalls and the vagaries of cross-breeding incompatible popular media.
But, oh, a person would be wrong.
What’s the point of learning from the mistakes of others, anyway? And who knows, maybe giving myspace addicts the chance to lay down tracks to your super-hyped game is a great way of…of not having to hire Jeremy Soule. Been there; done that; won that award. “Let’s take a risk,” Sony must be saying to itself. “We don’t ever take risks anymore, yeah? Let’s take a chance for a change, gang!”
Sounds like a plan. We have until November 8, 2006 to vote for the music that will ruin this hotly anticipated game, so get going: Loretta Lynn ain’t gonna vote for herself.
See Game|Life for more details.

Other stuff like this: god of noise, god of war ii, myspace, sony, soundtrack
Hmm… can we vote in the ever so woofy Peter McConnell?
Then again, I just can’t see Kratos mincing along to the sounds of Grim Fandango and Psychonauts. I’ll suggest the Milkilteo Fairys instead.
Um, they can’t be serious. I just finished playing the original God of War, and one its strongest points was the soundtrack. Its a shame that they are going to take this path; it won’t stop me from buying the game (just like the Godsmack didn’t stop me from buying Sands of Time), but still…
For a second, I thought the headline said that the music would be done by the band Poison.
Wow, that’s two cock-rock mentions in one day for me. Something’s wrong…

Cummon, you just know Kratos is down with that shiznit Jimmah!
