[서울=뉴스핌] 조용준 기자 = 세계 최고의 게임음악을 담은 'The Essential Games Music Collection Vol.1 & 2'가 아날로그 LP로 출시되었다. 게임의 고전부터 최근의 대작 PC게임에 이르기까지 완성도 높은 전세계 게임음악이 2장의 LP에 26곡이 담겨있다

최근 성공한 PC 게임을 살펴보면 현실에 가까운 사실적인 영상과 함께 예술성이 돋보이는 음악들이 대규모로 편성된 오케스트라에 의해 연주되어 게임의 흥미와 감동을 배가시키고 있다. 이제는 게임에서도 영화와 같이 배경 혹은 주제음악이 그 완성도와 성공을 결정짓는 중요한 요소가 되고 있다.

1985년 출시되어 게임의 고전이라 할 수 있는 "슈퍼 마리오 브라더스"는 현재에도 버전을 달리하며 사랑받고 있는데, 그 게임음악의 멜로디는 성인들에게는 뇌리에 깊게 각인된 추억을 회상케 하는 조건반사와 같다.

'The Essential Games Music Collection Vol.1'에는 '슈퍼 마리오 브라더스'의 테마음악을 비롯해 신세대의 귀에 익숙한 최근의 게임음악들이 수록되어 있다. 

놀랍게도 영화 '아이언 맨 3 (Iron Man 3)', '토르(Tor)'의 사운드트랙을 담당했던 '브라이언 타일러 (Brian Tyler)'가 참여한 게임 '콜 오브 듀디 : 모던 어페어 3 (Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3)'의 음악과 전세계적으로 큰 성공을 거둔 '헤일로 3 (Halo 3)', '배틀 필드 1942 (Battlefield 1942)', '파이널 환타지 7 (Final Fantasy VII)', '월드 오브 워크래프트: 리치 왕의 분노 (World of Warcraft: Wrath of The Lich King)' 등이 수록되어 있다.

'The Essential Games Music Collection Vol.2'는 '메탈 기어 솔리드 2 : 선즈 오브 리버티 (Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty)', '폴아웃 4 (Fallout 4)', '툼 레이더 (Tomb Raider)', '월드 오브 워크래프트 (World Of Warcraft)', '젤다의 전설: 시간의 오카리나 (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)', '스트리트 파이터 II: 더 월드 워리어 Street Fighter II: The World Warrior)' 등의 화려한 테마음악을 즐길 수 있다.

런던 최고의 영화 음악 전문 뮤지션인 런던뮤직웍스(London Music Works)가 연주한 최고의 게임 사운드 트랙 모음집 한정판이다. 게임 마니아는 물론 영화음악 팬이라면 소장각이다
