[The Madman]

Best video game song of 2011? Easy pick for me, not even a contest really.


The entire soundtrack for this game was absolutely brilliant. Best soundtrack not only of 2011, but one of the best I've heard for a game ever.

Spoiler: More songs from Bastion.

 

[Zhukov]

I am of the opinion that 'Build That Wall' is better than 'Setting Sail, Coming Home'.

 

[hazabaza1]

Bastion's great and all, but guys, c'mon.
Srsly guys.

 

[Aerosteam]

I've never played Bastion so I guess I'll go with this.

 

[ChupathingyX]

I've gotta go with a good ol' nazi zombie song...

 

[Frostbyte]

I gotta go with Exile Vilify, from Portal 2. I'd post the video, but I don't know how, and I can't be arsed.

 

[Eddie the head]

I think the song form the end of Infamous 2 was good. I don't know what it was but it summed up the game nicely.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Beautiful. Even though I didn't think the actual game was all that special, the soundtrack was phenominal.

 

[Magus44]

I'll throw my vote in for Bastion. It's superb.
I'm partial to Slingers song

Spoiler: Slinger's song

I want that played next time I enter a bar, or walk down a street.
And Zia's theme is one of the greatest things to happen to my ears in the past decade.

I'm also fond of the Binding of Isaac Soundtrack. Great background music, and it fits the game so well. Danny did a great job.
Greed

Sacrificial.

 

[Magus44]

Double post fail

 

[Alssadar]

All the Bastion Goodies

First reply ninja. D:<
"Folks from Caelondia knew how to carry a tune. Sure, we got some songs on the Internet, but trying to imagine what they sounded like, playing to a room of fine people, unwinding at the sole regret after a hard day's work.. those were the days."

 

[tendaji]

Lets see
Setting Sail, Coming Home. Bastion
Skyrim, Main Theme. Skyrim
Icarus Theme. Dues Ex Human Revolution

So basically what the thread has already covered at this point.

 

[Rakun Man]

Not even past the first page, and already my choices have been taken:

Spoiler: Sonic's City Escape. One of my favorites and the remix was awesome.

Bastion's great and all, but guys, c'mon.
Srsly guys.

Spoiler: Icarus from Deus Ex, It was one of the reasons I bought the game, and I wasn't disappointed.

Beautiful. Even though I didn't think the actual game was all that special, the soundtrack was phenominal.

But, I have some tricks up my sleeve.

Spoiler: I have been listening to the entire soundtrack from this game. It's just so beautiful.

 

[godofallu]

Bastion- Setting sail coming home.

I'll gladly argue that Zulf's part of the duet is actually the more interesting/emotional piece.

 

[Goofguy]

I absolutely love the Arkham City score, NOT the soundtrack (Panic at the Disco... seriously, guys?). The Main Theme is just so awesome, particularly the build-up in tone. Every time I hear it, I want to boot up the game and kick some Joker thugs in the solar plexus.

 

[octafish]

I am of the opinion that 'Build That Wall' is better than 'Setting Sail, Coming Home'.

I concur completely. Build That Wall is the Video Game song of 2011.

 

[Andy Shandy]

For me, pretty much the whole of the Sonic Generations soundtrack, both the modern and classic versions of songs. Brought back such a wave of nostalgia.

Summed up here with the End Credits song


Special mentions do go to Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Batman: Arkham City as well.
