also the instrumental Incubus and Breaking Benjamin songs appearing in the game are excellent. I wasn't even into either band previously (maybe casual radio listening in highschool) but it felt so PERFECT in H2.

Breaking Benjamin playing at the uh... Whatever towards the end with all the brutes and elites fighting in a room was soooo good

yeah for real. I don't think you get game music moments like that anymore, at least not in AAA titles. Don't know if it's because the music is lame by design or if there's just more licensing red tape than before. Some indie titles like Undertale manage to hit that sweet spot where the music and game medium combine so perfectly into that almost Wagnerian "total work" feel.

Hey thank you so much! Just now checking out your site, really enjoying the elegant simplicity. Your radio section has me inspired to perhaps put together a page for my tape collection and walkmans I've repaired.
