The title does pretty much say it all really. What were some of your favourite pieces of music from games this year.
Now while I have absolutely no control over anyone else's actionsyet, I would ask that it is not just straight up licensed music. As much as I loved listening to Baker Street in GTA V and What is Love in Saints Row IV, they weren't really songs from this year, and as such I would disqualify them. However, I would allow any remixed/covers done exclusively for a game this year (the Bioshock Infinite versions of songs being a prime example). In fact, I myself have chosen one such song.
Finally I would ask if you are embedding video, especially if you have a lot of choices, if you could place them in spoiler tags, just to avoid the thread lagging as much as possible.
So now that has all been said, time to give my top five choices (you can have more or less, I just thought it was a nice round number of choices)
Starting off with my "alternate version" choice...
A lot of the various covers in Bioshock Infinite are excellent (Fortunate Son is another favourite of mine) but God Only Knows in particular stands out because while listening to it, it was the first moment I thought "Yes, I'm in for something special here".
I'm not quite sure how to explain how I love this theme without thinking that I sound really pretentious or idiotic. So I shall leave it there to be judged on it's own merits.
This is one soundtrack that I will definitely say works much better whilst playing Payday 2. However, it works that well in-game that I felt it deserved to be mentioned outside of it. Honestly, in-game, the music that Simon Viklund composed is pretty much perfect throughout for the situation you are in.
Now with every Pokemon game for the past few generations, there's usually a few tracks at most that I like, but most of it I ultimately find mediocre and end up just having the music off at all times. X/Y however, is the first time since the 2nd generation where I've at least enjoyed pretty much every track. And my favourite is the Bike Theme. I'm a sucker for that little guitar bit =P
It's cyberpunk mixed with classical! What's not to love about that!? Also Remember Me as a whole needs more love in my opinion, so there.
[sub]I urge you all to give it attention at some point, whether it's on sale, free on PS+, etc.[/sub]
Anyway, those are my choices, so now yours.
