Spotify’s New Gaming Portal Is Awesome (and Long Overdue)

Video game music is awesome (as any gamer can attest to) and in many ways, trumps even big budget movies for the genuine emotions they can invoke in the player. But to listen to game soundtracks you would have to play the game or buy the actual soundtrack on disc (which was not always easy to find in the pre-internet days).

But now, Spotify has added a “gaming portal” where you can listen to some of the best video game soundtracks ever, in full, for free. They have a decent library already and you can expect this section to grow exponentially over the next few years. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go listen to some of my favorite video game jams.
