Gears of War - Resident Evil Movie Soundtrack
Gears of War is gritty in-your-face action but the music, while amazing, doesn't convey just how scary fighting against the Locus Horde can be.
That is where the Resident Evil movie soundtrack steps in and set the mood straight. The two Resident Evil pieces are straight from the action sequences in the movie and should make any encounter with the Locus be pumped full of adrenaline. Sawing a drone in half with Marylin Manson's guitars blarring in the background just doesn't get any better.
Notable Tracks:
-"Seizure of Power" - Resident Evil
-"Cleansing" - Resident Evil
Music is a vital part of videogames. Some scores are amazing while others fall short in varying degrees. We can all agree though no matter how impressive a track can be, it does get old. So why not take advantage of the features the Xbox 360 gave us, and create some memorable moments with old and new games alike. Plug in and enjoy, and remember: there are likely many other combinations which work better than these, that others have found. So feel free to share your discoveries with the rest of us.

I hope to GOD that you don't use custom soundtracks on your initial playthroughs.
When you substitute your own soundtrack you more often than not lose a crucial element of the game that is the musical cues. These musical cues can enhance certain moods such as seclusion and/or a sudden sense of urgency. Without them, a substantial part of the narrative is no longer there and you, the user, feel like you are less a part of the actual experience than ever before.
Now custom soundtracks during multiplayer games and/or multiple playthroughs are ok in my book.
Just try and imagine listening to any other than the in-game music during critical plot elements in an MGS game such as when Sniperwolf dies. Think about that for awhile.
Using a custom soundtrack in Guitar Hero 2 would make that game a lot more challenging. Too bad it's not possible :(
Also, links to the trance podcasts you mentioned in Geometry Wars would be nice, I'm interested in that :P
