Favourite song that was made for a game?

[dumbseizure]

What is your favorite song that was made for a game?

What I mean is, not a song that was put into a game, but one that was made specifically for that game.

Mine would definitely have to be Snake Eater [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHQnDTd1y4]

Been listening to this song for the last couple of days since finishing MGS3 again.

What about you guys?

 

[Vault101]

so we arent talking talking soundtrack specifically?

I honestly dont know if this one was..but it seems to be the case

 

[Andy Shandy]

Well since you took my answer, OP, I'll choose Live & Learn for Sonic Adventure 2


Any of the stuff Crush 40 has done for the Sonic series has been awesome, but this is the best, in my opinion.

Heavens Divide, made for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is also quite good.

 

[Antari]

Chaos Theory is a favourite because of the music made for it.

[Casual Shinji]

Still Alive from Portal.

It was a song about the characters, sung by a character, and it was really damn good.

Wow, I honestly forgot about that song until you mentioned it.

Yeah, that has to be number 2 for me.

Edit: Off topic, but if anyone can recommend me any orchestral songs along the lines of Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKLpJtvzlEI] then I would be grateful.

115 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOcXB_Kj0BE] from Call of Duty: Black Ops - Killing zombies to this never gets old.

Secret [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hik0r8g3Kag] from Symphonic Rain - Those lyrics, THOSE LYRICS!

Asu e no Houkou [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oRAZbfbdB0] from Muv-Luv Alternative - ;_;7

 

[The Wykydtron]

OH BOY! I get a chance to post this again.


'S only the best song ever made, nothin' special or anythin'


This can come too. It's a pretty iconic track.

Curveball!


God Mode: Activated. Prepare to dunk!

 

[dumbseizure]

OH BOY! I get a chance to post this again.

OH MY GOD, I just finished watching the Persona 4 Anime again, and am waiting as patiently as I can for Golden on Vita, and I forgot about this aswell!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!

Blind Guardian's "Sacred Worlds" for Sacred 2 is not only an awesomely awesome song, but they literally play it in the game:

...too bad the game wasn't so great.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

One of the best, in all its cheesy James Bond parodying.
Or...

 

[shogunblade]

Poets of the Fall's "Late Goodbye" for Max Payne II. POTF was a band, but never released an album until after Max Payne 2.

 

[Jason Rayes]

Poets of the Fall's "Late Goodbye" for Max Payne II. POTF was a band, but never released an album until after Max Payne 2.

Their songs for Alan Wake were good too, The Poet and His Muse being a standout, though I also like Children of the Elder God.

OT: I'm going with Still Alive too, I hadn't heard any of the hype about it when I played the game so it came as an hilarious surprise. I laughed my head off then listened to it a few more times

 

[Owen Robertson]

My favorite song from a game is tied between Beware The Forests Mushrooms from Super Mario RPG And Lost Woods from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Guess I just like Forests...

 

[Buck Wilde]

I can't choose just one D: all of the Halo games had amazing soundtracks though so I'd say these are my favorites

Spoiler

Also this one. I guess not technically in the game but since its just a combination of songs from the game I'm gonna say it counts.

[WaReloaded]

This, without a doubt, this. This song is incredible, the expanded and slightly reworked version of the track off of the album 'At the Edge of Time' is better, but still...
Just to clarify, Sacred 2 was a good game, too.

 

[lacktheknack]

What, no "Still Alive"?

<youtube=SzmUde_EK5Y>

Gotcha.

Except no, really. I LOVE this song.

 

[The Madman]

Easy.


Bastions entire soundtrack is brilliant, probably my favourite game soundtrack to date. Even the non-vocal pieces are fantastic!

 

[shrekfan246]

I doubt this counts because I don't think it was created specifically for the game, but it's basically the only way anyone has actually heard of the song:


If that doesn't count, then... hm. There's a few. The one that jumped out at me first was "Promise" from Silent Hill 2.
