Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Mass Effect 3 Edition

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.

Mass Effect 3 finally delivers its threatened galaxy-wide extinction of spacefaring life when the reapers start their slaughter in London. In desperate attempt to stop it, Shepard meets oppressed robots, homeless aliens, and space zombies. All of this makes for a spoiler-filled playlist of punk, ska, and jazz.

Mass Effect 2 would be this generation's Star Wars. If games were art, that is. Regardless, the characters join you on a suicide mission to explore the galaxy, loyalty, love, and sometimes levity. But, of course, games can't do that.
