Epic Games Giving Away Free Music For 20th Anniversary

Epic Games has turned 20 years old, and to celebrate the company is giving away a free album of tunes from its games over the past two decades. You can pick up the tracks from the official blog right now. The set includes everything from the Main Theme of Unreal and the Menu Song of Jazz Jackrabbit, all the way up to tracks from Infinity Blade 2 and Gears of War 3.

And what, you might ask, did they include as a bonus track? Perhaps the pinnacle of Epic Games’ musical gifts to the world at large? It’s the Cole Train Rap from the first Gears of War, of course. Woo baby! Bring it on sucka! Etc.
