Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Grand Theft Auto 4 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.
Grand Theft Auto 4 marked Rockstar North's first stab at a serious GTA game. The usual GTA problems -- missions that feel like errands, and a plodding 30-hour story -- spoiled it, but the shorter downloadable "episodes" provided much more focused stories. They also provided different perspectives on the city and more subject matter to inspire song picks in today's episode.

Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Splinter Cell Edition
Splinter Cell is all about feeling powerful without the typical video-game sources of power. Sure you've got a gun, but it's tiny; you're physically fit, but you're 5'10" and approaching retirement; you could kill an armed guard with your bare hands, but only with care and forethought. Sam Fisher got where he is because of his skill and physicality, but mostly because of his smarts -- smarts that you, the player, give him. Wait! A playlist snuck out of nowhere!
