Video may have killed the radio star, but video games sure haven't. Internet service provider America Online announced on Thursday that it has begun streaming a new Internet radio station dedicated exclusively to game sound tracks.

The station will play music from various games, such as "Metroid," "Metal Gear Solid," "Halo," and "Final Fantasy." AOL had previously offered a radio station that played music from the "Final Fantasy" series, but that station went dark in November of 2004. This new game-music station is available to AOL subscribers under the AOL keyword "radio."
