Remember that scene in 300 where that guy is giving that other guy lip, and that guy's all like "No sir!" and he kicks him into that big pit? And then the music's all like "DUHN DUHN DUHN, DUHN DAAH?" What about that scene in the latest episode of Californication where that girl is giving David Duchnovny lip, and Duchovny's all like "No sir!" and he kicks her into that big pit? And then the music's all like "DUHN DUHN DUHN, DUHN DAAH?"
We'll be experiencing similar situations in a video game context soon, as Tyler Bates, the composer for both of those projects (as well as Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead and The Day The Earth Stood Still), will be providing musical accompanyment for Army of Two: The 40th Day. Check out the above video to get a sampling of his mood-altering rock, which carries a surprising amount of intensity, even when divorced from acts of brutal pit-kicking.

I'm actually looking forward to playing this.
I enjoyed the first game only because I never played it solo. I've finished it twice and both times it was with two different people.
Kinda like RE5. I guess I never got around to playing with the biggest drawback most co-op focused games have ... poor teammate AI.

I had the unfortunate experience of playing with the AI the first go-round. I got downed, and the idiot dragged me around the whole battlefield before stopping to heal me, which was of course too late.
I must say I whole-heartedly approve of the first game, including (and not despite) the bromance, pimped guns, and general bro feeling.

I hope half-naked Spartans are in this game.
Half-Naked Spartans would be an awesome band name.

the music i believe you're referring to is " just like you imagined"
and isn't written by tyler bates. it was never actually played during
the film at all, but used for promotional trailers.

So, this game's soundtrack will be stolen from another, much better game that came out nearly a decade ago?
