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.
