The best radio stations in gaming?

[SimuLord]

Some games have great soundtracks. OK, a lot of games do. But there's something about adding in a DJ and a real-world radio feel to those soundtracks that elevates game music to another level (and, done right, can add a memorable character to a game.)

So what's your favorite in-game radio station from a game? I'd pick Galaxy News Radio from Fallout 3 (and speaking of memorable characters, thanks to Erik Dellums' distilled awesome voice work as Three Dog, FO3 gets a memorable character.)

Honorable mention to Chatterbox 109 from GTA3 and Radio X from San Andreas, though the latter gets most of its points for nostalgia value; that's the music I worshipped when I was 15.

Galaxy News Radio from Fallout 3...Three Dog

I remember I was running around killing raiders in the ghoul mask when Three Dog mention I look like a freak in that mask...??

Most surreal moment experienced in videogames ever...0o

lol

Psycho Mantis battle comes close though...hmmm

Damn. I was ninja'd by the OP!

Galaxy News Radio was the best along with that woman who you have to get the violin for.

I love me some violin instrumentals.

I'm a big fan of GNR, and I also like the krunch from saint's row 2.

"If you don't like this next song, I'll come over to your house and kick you in the neck!"

"You like pop music? Go fuck yourself! KRUNCH!"

 

[demoman_chaos]

V-Rock from GTA:Vice City, since I can't remember the names of the stations in Saints Row 2 and because V-Rock had good old hair-metal.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

Hm... i have to make mention of V Rock from vice city.
especially the line "When you wake up with a fat hog in your trailer, you're living the life of V Rock."
always made me laugh.

 

[Banana Pancake]

Hmm well since GNR has already been said which was my first choice. I Remember GTA: Vice City had a talk show station called K-chat (i think) and that was pretty funny and had guests like a viking and a Crocodile Dundee like mental patient.

Everything that is Jet Set Radio. /thread

Funny you should mention the ghoul mask---thanks to a glitch (mentioned on the Fallout wiki) I now have a permanent affinity for Feral Ghouls---they won't attack me even when I'm not wearing the mask. Makes life so much easier!

Battlefield: Vietnam
If you've played it, you'll know what i'm talking about!
Nothing beats rolling people over in a Patton while blaring out Edwin Starr's 'War'!

 

[Twilight_guy]

THIS IS THREE DOG OWWWWW AND YOUR KICKIN' IT HERE WITH GALAXY RADIO!

Definitively Galaxy Radio. What other station can you listen to to hear about your exploits in the game?

 

[Balaxe]

I'm going with the grain and saying Three Dog.

 

[dalek sec]

Flash FM, Emotion 98.3, Fever 103, K-Chat and VCPR are my faves from Vice City.
