Soundtracks anyone?

[Sightless Wisdom]

So, I know there have been a lot of game music threads floating around lately; this is another one of those threads. I'm looking for great soundtracks from games, preferably orchestrated but anything else is fine as long as it's good.

So what're your favourite themes and songs from games?

 

[Sevre]

Bloody Tears from Castlevania, or anything from Castlevania for that matter.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Metroid Prime had an Amazing Soundtrack.
Two of my favorite tunes are

Spoiler: The Menu Theme

And

Spoiler: Phendrana Drifts

The theme for Phendrana Drifts really added to the Atmosphere of wandering around the Frozen Ruins of the Chozo.
Being all alone but in the company of Ancient structures and the Creatures that inhabit Phendrana.

Here's a few of my personal favorite game tracks.

The Halo games have amazing soundtracks. Reach's has been especially spectacular.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Both Mass Effect soundtracks are excellent. The second is more epic, but the first is more memorable (in my estimation anyway). If I wasn't so lazy, I'd embed some tunes for you. Perhaps I'll get to it in a bit. Trust me though.

EDIT: Okay, here's a few.

I love the BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Shin Megami Tensei soundtracks. I'd post samples, but I don't feel like sitting here for a few hours.

Super Mario Galaxy, The World Ends With You, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and of course Ocarina of Time all have awesome soundtracks.

 

[Blue Musician]

Silent Hill series, Halo series, Age of ... series, Assassins Creed series, Freedom Fighters, Braid, Metro 2033, Metal Gear Solid, BlazBlue, STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl, StarCraft 2, System Shock 2, and some others...

 

[hurfdurp]

The Sims, just trust me.

 

[hittite]

I gotta go with the classic.

But some of the new stuff has its charm.

[Shock and Awe]

Spoiler: Here are some of my favorites,

 

[Bluesoul]

If its orchestrated you want definetly Shadow of the Colossus OST, If youre looking for something more rithmic Katamari Damacy Soundtrack is good or Castlevania Simphony of the night

 

[MurderousToaster]

Assassin's Creed 2.

Spoiler

After a somewhat disappointing musical ride for the first game, Jesper Kyd really pulled out all the stops for AC2, and it was flipping great.

 

[Whobajube]

Chrono Trigger and Shadow of the Colossus.

/thread.

 

[Rawle Lucas]

The soundtracks for the Fire Emblem games Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, and Shadow Dragon are quite amazing.

I'll also throw in the soundtrack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for NES.

 

[Hazy]

Been playing Nier lately, and I've noticed a few people here and there mentioning it's soundtrack - one of them in particular was [user]D_987[/user].

My word. It's outstanding.

 

[Marter]

No Final Fantasy X yet makes me want to post my favourite Final Fantasy X song. ^_^

[Nouw]

Castle Crashers has a fantastic soundtrack. So much effort...
