Need Some Good Video Game Soundtracks

[Judgement101]

Frozen Synapse has a great soundtrack! Too bad I still can't find the damn battle music, it is by far the best in the soundtrack.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Halo Reach is really good, orchestral and slower and more melodic than the other Halo soundtracks.

snip

I have not played crysis 2, shadow of the colossus, killzone 3 or silent hill 3

That has nothing to do with soundtracks i listen to them all

You dont need to play the games to feel the love in these soundtracks, the music can speak for its self.
trust me try them, put it like this if you only like 1 single song in each of those sound tracks i listed, you will have made your self a massive album of songs you like, fresh ones at that

Oh, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of games I've never played, or haven't played much of that I love the soundtrack. (Zero Wing and Lagoon have freaking badass soundtracks, and I've never played em)

I guess I was just going on a tangent. XD

Your lack of Guilty Gear and Blazblue music is disturbing. They're down right awesome sound tracks and if you like them I highly suggest downloading the Guilty Gear X Blazblue live 2011 sound track; along with other related albums of course.

Also the music from the Ys series, it is also made of pure awesome if you enjoy rock/metal tunes.

Spoiler: Some of my favs from each game:

Oh snap! I forgot about GuiltyGear and Blazblue! I often hear how good those soundtracks are, so it's strange I'd forget about them since they're so popular.

Also, I preordered the Ys Seven/Felghana/Book I and II collector sets. Holy cow is the Ys Seven CD amazing. Best collector's edition bonus I've ever got. Vacant Interference is freaking awesome. You should go check out the Mario Paint version of that song on youtube. It's surprisingly good.

Castle Crashers has an extremely good soundtrack that should be far more popular. It has a huge range of genre, from an Orchestral feeling to Metal.

Dawn of War is a wonderland for Orchestral pieces. They will send chills down your spine and inspire you to kill the traitor!

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

Seriously. GET THAT.

Trust me, I'm trying. XD Just gotta find it first. :/

Dude,it's on iTunes I bought two songs off the soundtrack. While your there,get the Chaos Rings soundtrack,great iPod Touch/iPhone game and a great soundtrack.

It's on itunes? huh. I didn't even think game soundtracks were available on itunes. (Has never used itunes before. >.>)

 

[The Wykydtron]

The entire Persona 4 soundtrack is awesome.


Although making this the Game Over music rather than just an epic menu theme has come close to ruining this song for me.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

Well, Final Fantasy is an obvious mention, my personal selection being 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Mystic Quest and Tactics)

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross...

Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Castlevania (4, symphony of the night, dracula X). Megaman (2, 3, X, X4, Z2), Ghost Trick, Metal Gear Solid 3, F-Zero GX, Gitaroo Man, Halo (all), Mass Effect (all),
Secret of Mana, Starfox (SNES and 64), Ninja Gaiden (NES, 1 and 2), Zelda (Link to the Past, Wind Waker) and so on and so on.

Take your pick, whichever route you take you get a prize every time.

Yep,I got the song at the title screen and the one from level 2. Also,I unlocked the music room in game so I can listen to the entire soundtrack in game.
But yeah,if you don't mind paying some cash for it,the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World:The Game soundtrack is on there.

And once again, Phlakes comes to save the day with another shameless plug of his series on game music. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Top-Ten-Songs]

To be more specific-

Let's see...

- Metroid (All of 'em).
- Mario 64 (as you already have checked out Mario Galaxy 1-2).
- Pokemon (Gotta hear 'em all).
- Fire Emblem 9-10 has some good music, rest of the series might also have good music, but I have't played those.
- The Legend of Zelda (All of 'em).
- *THIS IS NOT A GAME, but this web comic reminds me awful lot of a game, thus I'll just mention it:* The music of Homestuck.
- Star fox command.

Hope you find some music you'll enjoy in this list.

 

[David Hebda]

Arcanum of Steamworks and Magic Obscura, and Bullet Storm sound tracks, excellent music

 

[ethan22122]

The whole Mass Effect soundtrack is amazing, that and the soundtrack from the Halo series.

 

[Worgen]

I dont see how you dont have any super meatboy in there, you really should fix that

Mario 64 is definitely getting on there at some point. Even though I'm not a fan of Mario 64 as a game, it's got a killer soundtrack.

Guess I'll have to listen to the Persona 4 OST. Is it just me, or do the people on the Escapist really like the Persona series? I hear it mentioned a lot.

 

[BlazeCruzer]

Ace Combat 5, excellent soundtrack, great game too

It's a course where we prepare ourselves for a retail work environment, and thus we simulate the work place by doing various tasks one would do in the workplace. For example, we have a station where we learn how to properly hang, tag, nub, and price shirts and jeans using the same equipment the stores would use, a station where we use hilarious plastic food to practice bagging groceries, a station where we learn how to use a price scanner, various tasks involving a pricing gun, and many other tasks.

Wait, wait, wait. There's a class for learning how to bag groceries and tag shirts? I thought going to class was so you didn't end up having to do those things.

Civilization games have pretty good soundtracks. Also try Bethesda's offerings -- Fallout, Oblivion, etc. Also Sins of a Solar Empire.

Nothing wrong with working in retail. :/

Oh, and trust me, I know Bethesda's stuff. That dumb Where's Waldo NES map screen song has been in my head ever since I was a little tiny kid. :/ (Yes, Where's Waldo is the only Bethesda game I've played XD)

 

[King of Wei]

The Armored Core games have some great soundtracks if you like electronic.

"Ocean base" is my personal favorite from 2AA, odd but catchy.
