2005 Sore Thumbs Awards -- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Awarded Best Licensed Soundtrack

Summary of the Sore Thumbs Awards to street January 1, 2005

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) December 29, 2004 -- Take2s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been awarded with Best Licensed Soundtrack in the 2005 Sore Thumbs Awards: This monster is huge. How huge? Fans are upset that the 8 CD box set comprising 87 songs from the game leaves off too many of their favorite tracks (and it does). But this award isnt given for whats on the CD, its given for whats in the actual game: hours of classic 90s rap, rock, soul, funk, alternative, techno, and even country. San Andreas is a long game (100 hours or so if you take your time), making an extensive soundtrack essential."

Also recognized in the Best Licensed Soundtrack category was Need for Speed Underground 2 (Electronic Arts).

Need for Speed Underground 2 established videogames as a viable music medium by debuting unreleased and otherwise unavailable tracks from Snoop Dogg, Chingy, and Capone. (excerpted from the full text)
