Favourite Videogame music

[Lordmarkus]

I'm at the moment pretty obsessed with the music from Morrowind, this one in particular. If only the graphics and the dialogue system were not so damn horrible. I really need to get Morrowind 2011 working.

Right now, it's gotta be this. I like a lot of the Street Fighter music, but this takes the current cake.
Capcom sure know what they're doing with their music.
Speaking of which, Viewtiful Joe's music is pretty darn good too.

Mass Effect, Tatsunoko vs Capcom and am loving the music from Marvel vs Capcom 3. For me personally though, Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game takes the 2D pixelated cake.

Tony Hawks' Pro Skater 2. I still have most of the music from that on my ipod.

You're surrounded by demons from hell, Mars and Earth have been corrupted and you're the only sane person alive. Every moment of your life is spent fighting, it is unknown how long it'll take before you become overwhelmed by the hordes. What do you do?

Spoiler: PREPARE TO ROCK!

Spoiler: Warning: There are a lot of videos here

Since it's from a visual novel, which are technically games, this still counts.


EDIT: I accidentally started playing this video while it was already halfway through playing on Youtube in another tab. I didn't notice until the very end, but the second half and first half playing together sounded AWESOME! Seriously, that was bizarre, it still sounded amazing even like that...

The soundtrack to Chrono Cross is undoubtedly one of the best orchestrated works I've ever listened to. The opening song, called "Time's Scar" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful melodies ever, IMO.

I actually found the music in Chrono Cross to be somewhat...lacking. Not terrible, but not great. A lot of it (maybe intentionally) sounded like it took melodies straight from chrono trigger, altering them only slightly, but nearly as beautifully composed as Nobuo Oematsu would have done with them (really who can). I also found the music didn't really serve it's purpose for me in terms of setting an emotional mood or backdrop for the game. For example, the battle music I didn't find to have a strong enough tempo and energy to get me pumped for battle.

Anyway, to each their own, and I'm not saying the music was terrible, but it really just feel short for me.

As for favourite vidja game musics, easily

1. Chrono Trigger
2. Final Fantasy 7
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, and Knuckles
4. Castlevania SoTN
5. Mega Man X and X2


Anyhoopdido, this thread has been done to death.

halo origional sound track. greatest vocals ever. and the halo wars theme (just because i can play it on the keyboard)

 

[Euhan01]

Mass Effect 2's was good, Obliveon's is great in a relaxing type of way, although I think the one I listen most to is the Madworld one.

 

[CaseZero]

Okami songs in that game is awe inspiring

Your not the only one (well my favourite SSF4 theme is either Cammy or Juri theme), my all time favourite game music is Alastor theme- (I always like fast pace type of music]
As well those two some of my favourite game music are Phantasy Star Online, Golden Sun 1 & 2, Okami, The World End With You, Fire Emblem 7, Bayonetta and many more.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 has some kick-ass tunes.

 

[Weskerbot3000]

any thing by chris kline

 

[Elvoret]

Trigger, you have an awesome taste in videogame music.

Oh, and other person from earlier, now I can't stop humming the market theme...

Actually a lot of people have collectively got my favourites down, I guess I can only add this...

Abels theme is pretty good, but Viewtiful Joe's.....that's just cool.

OST: A lot of stuff from the silent hill games, and from No More Heroes. God Bless Akira Yamaoka and Suda 51. Maybe they should work on a game together. OH WAIT!

I especially like betrayal by Yamaoka
Industrial, grimy, and profound. Love it!
