Anglerbe's Soundtrack of the Week

Resident Evil Code: Veronica

Cliff Hanger

Resident Evil in general has a very memorable and excellent soundtrack, but this track, despite it's short length, is one of the most addictive, at least for me. Code Veronica is quite possibly the most cinematic Resident Evil game currently in existence (that actually deserves its title, anyway), and that epic tone is echoed in this theme. After losing hope with Steve and Claire, it re-instills you with the notion that you still have a fighting chance, as Chris is on his way. I think this was a great way to go about this transition. You really feel like a hero scaling a cliff, here to kick a*$ and save the day. Now we just need somebody to loop it for 10 hours or so...

Anglerte's Soundtrack of the Week

This selfless person was generous enough to share an hour long version of this piece with the world. I find it difficult to narrow my list of favorite Resident Evil safe room themes down to one or two items, but I have to say, thanks to several influential factors (and this soundtrack is one of them), Code Veronica (X, if it makes a huge difference) is probably my second favorite RE, while the rest of 0-3 tie for third. Every aspect of 5 should be renamed to something unrelated to "Resident Evil", and 6 can pretty much burn. I haven't played Revelations yet, but we'll most likely be purchasing it for the Nintendo Wii U. Anyway, more relevant to this specific soundtrack, it basically translates the game's underlying theme into musical form; you're starting to get somewhere (granted, somewhere overwhelming, mysterious, unsettling and presumably horrifying in almost every aspect), but you've a long way to go before the full truth is uncovered, and it seems that new darkness is born every second that passes. For now, there is safety, time for reflection; but how long may that last?
