No matter what platform we choose to take on Fallout 3's radioactive wasteland, we will be doing so to the musical styling of seasoned game music composer Inon Zur. If Zur's name isn't familiar to you, it's likely you've hummed along to some of his more notable tracks heard in games like Crysis as well as each of the three expansions to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. And speaking of three, a trio of the songs Zur created for Bethesda's hotly anticipated RPG are available to listen to on the official Fallout 3 website, from in-game tracks "Megaton" and "Into the Wasteland," to a bass-heavy title track that has us climbing the walls in our underground shelter in the march up to the game's release this fall.

The melody in the main title gives me a bit of a "wild west" kind of feel to it, with a good level of foreboding doomy sounds.
This actually makes me look forward to the game even more. The blend of good synth sounds and acoustics, in the track Megaton, kind of touches on a theme that seems really cool to me. Sparse harmonica and twangy slide guitar, little banjo kind of sounds.
What else would you expect from a game about a post-apocalyptic society? To me, the best score would be something like the amazing Bladerunner soundtrack mixed with classics like Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly). Thats just my opinion tho. :)

Still, only three tracks from what will probably be loads. Can't really judge yet. It's gonna be a killer game either way.
