Portal 2 Soundtrack Free For All – Huge Success!

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

album_cover Valve has made a 22-song soundtrack for Portal 2 available via its website, and it’s free for all to download right now.

It’s the first of three albums, or “aural stimulus packages” as the Aperture Science refers to them, and features tracks with comedy song names such as ‘I saw a deer today’, ‘concentration enhancing menu initialiser’ and ‘Comedy = tragedy + time’.

It features a mix of intense mechanical electro beats, none of which we could hum if asked and none destined to become a gaming culture icon like the ‘Still Alive’ song from Portal 1, but they certainly bring back the memories of playing through Valve’s recent masterpiece.

The kind folks at Valve have also hooked us up with a load of ringtones on their music page for use with iPhones and Android sets. You can find everything by heading on over here.
