Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Batman Arkham City 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, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.
Sneaking past the bigger spoilers, pouncing on bad songs and knocking them unconscious, and with a British accent in your ear throughout -- it's the Batman: Arkham City edition of Unoriginal Soundtracks. Only the best music about one of the best games of 2011.
