I'm still trying to decide which system to place a pre-order on. I don't have a 360 just yet, but I'll have one before its out. My PC is pretty good, about a year and a half old (with it being top of the line back then). Grr, I hate deciding. I usually like my fps games on the pc, but itll probably run smoother and at a higher setting on the 360.

What's everyone else doing?

Jeremy Soule better pick up the pace for this game. I really can't see his style lending well to an FPS. His RPG music is sedated and calm, even combat music, IMHO.

I loved the music in the gameplay clip from a few days ago. Not overpowering but very cinematic. Calm even, which is kind of cool put against action.

Meh, not really a fan of Soule. He's like the Enya of video game music. All very formulaic and predictable and with a done-to-death palette.

But at least his music doesn't suck or annoy, like some other guys' (*cough* Uematsu*cough*).

Where's my Brian Lustmord, Robert Rich or Vidna Obmana videogame soundtrack? Or Xploding Plastix?

Check out the overture music from the game.

Pretty awesome. I can see someone talking over it, sort of like the intro to Soul Reaver. Soul Reaver's intro was one of the best ever (music fit very well), you can watch it here:
