I'd say Silent Hill 2.
That or FFX, it really depends on the mood. Both are amazingly good though.

There are several games with great music.
In no particular order, from the ones I know and remember:
Dungeon Siege
The Witcher
Braid
Arcanum
The song "Still Alive" from both: Portal and Mirror's Edge
Left 4 Dead
Psychonauts
Deus Ex
King's Bounty - The Legend
To name but just a few.

I'm not going to pick a game in general, because there's so many games I consider to have a good soundtrack. Instead, I'm going to go for the two songs I've found most memorable in gaming.
Call of Duty 3 Menu Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fr4iZnovAQ
Mercenaries Playground of Destruction Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szzZQwawELc
IMO, best sounds in all gaming.

I could say Fallout 3 for the songs on GNR, but those songs aren't Game soundtracks, those are real old timers.
Games often don't have GAME soundtracks anymore. Big titles on modern hardware have regular soundtracks or cinematic soundtracks.
The music I associate with gaming has a distinct synthetic sound. Nemesis on the MSX or Turrican 2 on the amiga, are examples of game soundtracks.

infamous is good as it gives atmosphereand uses real city sounds to create a realistic and immerssive soundtrack
Zombies Ate My Neighbors, it had some of the best atmospheric music (Castle of Dr. Tongue) and then sharply contrasts it with some quick upbeat music in other levels...My favorite will always be Chainsaw Hedgemaze Mayhem, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oF9NeU8MYc
Sunset Riders was also pretty awesome and had some really good western style music with great boss music for back then...This video has every theme in one...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpOnM5890LE
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time had an awesome soundtrack as well...Sewer Surfin' rocks...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH-lLbHbG-A
I had to get some lesser known classics in here...for the epicness of every Halo and God of War these days, there was an old soundtrack with just as good music despite sound limitations...

My favorite soundtracks as of now are that of Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, and the Halo series. All have some tracks that suit the mood extremely well, and are also great to listen to whenever you feel like it.
