Bioshock music
The creepiest thing about Rapture is its choice in music

Dark corners, moody atmospheres, and crazies trying to bash in your brains.  These were features that faced gamers is in both 2K games' BioShock and ZeniMax's Fallout 3  yet none of these aspects had as deep and impact as another feature that the two titles shared, and that was the eerie layer of 50's Crooner music played over the games' dark content.  Theres simply something surreal about listening to Sinatra while fighting for your life in the dark.

These titles inclusion of this type of music has forever changed how I feel when I hear these oldies.  Whether it be on radio or film, every time some old song from this era comes on I start looking over my shoulder, making sure that theres no ghouls lurking behind me.
