Every other Wednesday, I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for relevant terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and uncover hidden gems. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.
Bioshock, along with The Darkness, is one of this generation's stand-out examples of first-person storytelling. Apart from it's meta-commentary on how games manipulate you into acting in a certain way, it examined paranoia, addiction, and unchecked genetic modification. All of which makes for a playlist of ska-punk, rhythm and blues, soul, and more.
