"Sucka tried to play me, but ya never paid me, neva... OH NO YOU DIDN'T
Payback is-a coming you will be-a runnin' foreva... OH NO YOU DIDN'T
'Til I get my vengeance, I will never end this mayhem... OH NO YOU DIDN'T
I'm a mercenary, you ain't got a prayer, you owe meeeeee..."

Mercenaries 2 song. I have NO IDEA if it has a real title, but it's the one from the commercials.

I have to go the Mario theme(s). Not only are they catchy, they're universal. Nearly everyone knows and likes it, which is a nice change for a gamer.

This song has been on the radio lately:

And everyone smiles when it comes on, even the girl at work who once saw my DS and laughingly said "How old are you?"

Mute city/Port town from Snes F-zero. Or one winged angel, the Advent Children version is breathtaking.

Going to have to go with Dream Chaser from F-Zero X (the track for Silence), the Mass Effect Main Theme, or The Extreme from Final Fantasy VII. I find it too hard to narrow it down from there.

Who Am I? from Alone in the Dark 5.

Mediocre game, AMAZING soundtrack.

YES
FUCK YES!
It was a TERRIBLE game but AWESOME music. I get so energetic with that song.

However my favourite is the opening theme of Jungle Strike, the SNES version. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT IT DRIVES ME CRAZY WITH JOY.

The one winged angel is perfect in all aspects, he even has a whole orcestra for his theme
Bah, I can't stand the "original" I can listen to the others no prob but that one feels lacking now. Worlds Enemy really brings life into that song.

Anywho, me trying to choose a favorite game song is just....HARD. One of my favorites, if we are taking remixes into account would have to be Fighting Spirit from Tales of Phantasia, just AWESOME. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmGtfF-Oho4

Oh and if you like megaman these remixes will make your jaw drop.

Special commendation to the metroid metal music too.

I got loads of game remixes on my MP3, it's crazy how some people can take great tunes and pump them full of awesome.
The whole feeling of it was to be epic, inspite fear into someone's heart, i'll tell you a story and i swear on my PS3 its true, i was in a game shop and then one winged angel (orignal) plays, a little girl started crying saying her mother was going to die, the store had to change the music.

I think you are modern music, and so you relate more to modern styles, i have a love of the old style music, as well as the new stuff, i like music with soul and a reason behind it, not just "im all about the pussy, pussy, i don't mean to be pushy, pushy" (aaah, i cring everytime i hear that) i mean, Soulfly have much feeling into there music, they depict the rage in circomstance through music, KoRn play music basing on human emotions and events of pain and suffering (i.e. physical abuse and the mind of the victim wanting to break free)

Aaaah, i cring everytime i hear that.

Oh I you need not lecture me on the original, I grew up with it as well. Just after hearing the orchestral version, Advent children s, and the worlds enemy, the "original" has less spark in it like the more conventional ones. I guess it has not aged well unlike other game music I have hear. I mean to this day I still think FF6's sound track is one of the greatest game sound tracks ever composed, there was just something about those chiptunes that gave it so much life.

One winged Angel is such an overrated song. I hate FF7 but I can admit the soundtrack is decent, but that song just sounds terrible.

If I were to chose a song from an FF game it would be Dancing mad.
I would disagree, look past the music, and look at the effects behind it.

Plus im guessing you someone who doesn't like what other people like (i like what i like to be honest, if someone else likes it, fine, but the fact of the matter is, its what you think of it)

But regardless Dancing Mad was very good, epic chords and vocals, you can image the evil that it was trying to recreate through the song

You're going to have to explain this to me because I have no idea what you're talking about when you bring up effects.

Also I don't like or dislike games based on what other people think. I like them based on my opinion.

The original Duke Nukem 3D theme. I loved that song, been hoping someone would make it into an OC remix for years.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CezOHqlXAFY
You know Megadeth did a cover of it, right?

Anyway, I have so many, SO MANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY great themes, but Fire and Ice [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qlZEYIS0qg&fmt=18] takes the cake for me.

Another top one is "Demolition" from Command and Conquer, which can be found on Frank Klepacki's website.

As in, when is it played, where is it played, what is its intentions, does it meet that criteria, i think One winged angel did that just fine, just like Dancing Mad did for FFVI.

Favorite? So many candidates, but I'd probably have to say Big Blue from F-Zero.

And I know it isn't the topic, but I have a question for you guys. First meeting with the Dahaka in Warrior Within, where your only choice of action is to run away. I Stand Alone by Godsmack comes on. Am I the only one who completely lost all interest in the game once that happened?

I remember buying that game (waste of money) but it came with a soundtrack and to me all those songs are good :D
