The Real Top 10 Gaming Music Tracks

[Lunar Templar]

since i'm in that kinda mood now I'll expand on my early post.

the follow my or my not be timeless classics, but they are on my MP3 player, so i listen to them the most. which means a hell of a lot more far as I'm concerned then it just being good, also, there's no order to this list.

Spoiler: i suggest high volume if your going to listen

what can i say. i love the Guilty Gear sound track

No More Heroes another OST made of win

the lone Okami track, and i shouldn't need to explain why its here

the remix, because it's even more awesome in heavy metal

 

[Andy Shandy]

the mgs 3 snake eater theme, instantly takes all places for casually yet overtly being played during the worlds longest ladder

The Ladder - Quite clearly the most difficult boss in video game history.

I take it you haven't played Shadow Of The Colossus and Total Annihilation. Sorry, I can't take your list seriously when you don't put strong melody's in and say 'real'.

I do appreciate it though, I always look through it all to see if I'm missing something.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSrV5--cua8 - Still the most powerful melody I've heard from a game.

I dont get it, out of ten songs , Baldurs gate intro in particular or arcanum you still think they are not powerful enough?

 

[cennsor]

i don't know them all, but CoMI was definitely a great pick.

 

[pearcinator]

You mentioned Curse of Monkey Island...I immediately go to Youtube to listen to the music

Such a good game...brings back memories!

 

[Aris Khandr]

Not going to bother to link songs, but in my entire life, I've purchased three game soundtracks (that didn't come as part of the package with a CE). Final Fantasy X, Ocarina of Time, and Katamari Damacy. I'd also offer GitarooMan and Bust-A-Groove as having awesome soundtracks, which I would gladly buy if I could find them.

Any Amiga fans?

Xenon 2


Cannon Fodder


Shadow of The Beast


Flashback

 

[kingthrall]

lol nice amiga tunes you got there, xenon 2 my fav out of those

 

[zeit]

Mario Galaxy's waltz music was pretty awesome

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

9. Modern Warfare 2 (best part of the game IMO. Hans Zimmer did a fine job)

No matter how much I bash the COD games, I will gleefully agree to say that MW2 had quite a good soundtrack.

OT: Not exactly a list but

Spoiler

I very much like Kingdom Hearts soundtrack. Pretty much the only music I listened to in my youth.


Yes and the Mass Effect series has also made my ears sweat.


And if this was actually in a game, it would be my favourite song. (I don't know why no game devs hire Two Steps From Hell to do there music (yes, I very much like epic music)).

 

[zeit]

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory's music was done by Amon Tobin, one of my favorite DJs, and it's excellent.

I also liked the Quake 1 soundtrack by Trent Reznor, and I really liked the Doom 64 soundtrack. I preferred the creepy ambience in that one over the heavy metal MIDIs in Doom 1 and 2.

Huh, for some reason I wasn't notified.

They're good, but having a whole orchestra make something sound epic doesn't improve the power of the melody.

Xenon 2


Cannon Fodder


Shadow of The Beast


Flashback

Amiga! So many great memories! I still have Shadow of The Beast in my mind. Amazing! I'd also add Lemmings fun soundtrack and Bloodmoney intro and soundtrack.

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Flashback was a killer game. So much better than all the crappy imitations coming out today - Braid, Vessel, Trine etc

Personally OP, you seem to be taking this list way too seriously. That first comment, really? ALl he's saying that your list should have some Chrono in it. Nothing else. It wasn't trolling, it was his opinion and a joke. He's not actually stating your list is invalid. You have your own opinion, he's just giving his.

Anyway, I haven't played all that many games, but I'll give some soundtracks I really love.

Not in any order:

Spoiler: Warcraft 3

Spoiler: Mass Effect 3

Spoiler: Praetorians (Love the menu music for this game XD)

Spoiler: Some Dawn of War

Spoiler: Some Half Life 2 (although not the best soundtrack, the songs really do add to moments in the game, making them special)

Spoiler: Also some TF2

There are a bunch more, but they just aren't springing to mind at the moment, probably haven't played them in a while. I might add to the list later when I have more time.

 

[DeadEyeDan]

I'll throw a few out there:

The Deus Ex UNACTO theme. The whole game is full of epic music but this one I think is just the best.


My favourite from Majora's Mask


And I love this track from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. So atmospheric and intense. Love it.


And finally my personal favourite from all the wonderful music in the Fallout series:
