LMH Mixtape #17: Puzzle Games

Just as the puzzle genre covers a surprisingly broad range of topics (falling blocks, wandering rodents, time-traveling vikings), so do the games' soundtracks serve up a great deal of musical variety.  Rock, classical, new age, funk, hip-hop, and even industrial nightmare fuel find their place in this highly eclectic mixtape.

Episode 82: Puzzle Games 2

Brent and Rob have some "fun in the sun" on Episode 82 as they revisit a hot topic they covered back in Episode 17: Puzzle Games.  NOTE: Rob accidentally played a track he had already played on a past episode (in fact, the last Puzzle Games episode), so that track and portion of the show was edited out, making it seem as though Brent went twice in a row.  Full track listing below.
