I'm sitting here at the minute playing Wolfenstein on the PS3 as I quite enjoyed playing RTCW on the pc ages ago and even though I've not got that far into the game, one of the things which is actually making the game better for me is the background music. I always used to turn this off whenever I was playing games but this seems to be adding to the enjoyment of being a little bit spooked out whenever I get to parts of the game where the music score starts to really pick up. I can't play BGM when playing racing games though as I like to hear the sound of the engines. It got me thinking about the first time I played Tomb Raider when it first came out and the music in that was fantastic.

Do you folks tend to keep BGM switched on or off or does it really depend on the type of game that you're playing? Also, do you have a favourite game were you thought the BGM was great. I think it was in one of the Medal of Honour games that I heard some German sorta marching songs as I was in a tavern somewhere. I wish I could remember exactly but I do know that it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck it was that good.:D
 
There's a huge retro thread if that's your thing, some of the stuff isn't really that retro either, PS1 era and such, would make for good reading and a lengthy trip down memory lane if you're into that sort of thing. :)

I keep the BGM turned on in most games, like you I turn it off on racing games because it's just distracting, I like to hear the sound of the engines, I also turn off the menu music in FIFA because it's terrible. By the way, I hope your neighbour didn't realise it was you that faceplanted into his front door the other day. :p

Thankfully for me, he was in a far worse state than I was. I feel bad for not telling him it was me as he told me that he thought he had done it when he was trying to carry a load of boxes in from his car that night :D He's got the letterbox flap held on with masking tape at the minute :D
