I think you must be blessed with some kind of gene that allows you to make anything music related awesome!

Definitely of my favorite ones. So damn catchy.

Plus, I really, really like both of the games, so thanks for paying them a little tribute. I know you don't like them too much, so it's much appreciated.

Poor Bill...

*wipes away manly tears*

Anyway, great song, as always) I've been jumping up and and down with excitment for the last few days as I was waiting for wednesday to buy "Normandy". And what do I get? Not only a new song but an album too! Ordered it. Take my money, Gavin, you earned it big time. I was also kind of surprised that the CD cost only 10 dollars. I would have given 30 easily)

I was kinda hoping at some point you'd do one for a horror game like this or the Silent Hill or Resident evil with something that's a bit slower in terms of pace.

OT: Frakking awesome once again Sound, now the sucky waiting part begins. I love the album work on your last song though, really stands out! :D

At work I've shown a fellow gamer co-worker your music and his words were "This cat know's how to play!" and was amazed by the range you have.

It's like there's a class for creating catch music and you're the teacher. I think you're one of the few artists who I don't think has any bad songs.

Or in other words, I'm off to buy your album.

Great song as always, but what if the zombies DID in fact shuffle (dancing shuffle not walking shuffle)? Add some upbeat music and maybe reword the lyrics and we have a brand new club beat for all the necromancy night clubs!

Great music (instrumentally) as usual but also as usual terrible lyrics and what's fast becoming boring vocals.

Nice one, tho not exactly what I would have wanted. Not sure what i want, but i can see that you create good stuff nonetheless :D
Anyways, i love the L4D series, awesome games, damn fun. Unless you meet some trolls when playing... then it all goes to hell in a hand-basket.

I'm now very sad.

Another great song and I really love the beat.

And you have successfully gained money from me since I'm buying your album.

Hooray for music about games!

And I'm totally going to pick up a CD from you at some point. Need some amazing music in my car and I feel I must support an awesome artist in the process.

Great song, I loved it. Haven't played the game though, but the song is great.

So, Justin is going to take over the editing from Russ?

I'm just not sure about the video...
It feels like a random succession of game footage edited together with the song playing in the background. Heck, it might as well have been the review video with the talking replaced with the song.
I know it's pretty tricky editing video to music, I have done it myself in the past (making AMVs, Anime Music Videos).
I think it was pretty hard with this game since the videos from the game itself have a lot of cuts in them, so pacing the cuts to the music is already going to be difficult, but it can be done.
However this video does commit one of the cardinal sins of music video editing. Having people talking in it that isn't in sync with the lyrics of the song.
But I think this could be Justin's first time trying to make a video like this so that could be forgiven.

I just feel The Escapist needs a dedicated video editor to work on these songs, since in the past I have felt that several videos just didn't do justice to the great songs.
