What are the best songs from video games?

[Ashcrexl]

i dont know why, but this is still my favorite to this day, never being surpassed.

 

[voetballeeuw]

Definitely the Oblivion theme. Which reminds me, I should play it again.

 

[AwesomePeanutz]

Wait is this a thread for songs or OST/BGM's? Because most of the stuff I've seen here are OST/BGM's. Anyway here are my favourite video game songs:

Mercenaries - Oh No You Didn't
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCvIw7DMHXc

Red Dead Redemption - Dead Man's Gun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAvVqjbUG8

And I might as well put some OST/BGM's.

Dynasty Warriors 4 - Eve
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAs7dk_E5jg&feature=BF&list=PL6DEEC74C20D2C7B7&index=7
Dynasty Warriors 4 - Look Back On Your Way
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARJKpXnJFTE&feature=BF&list=PL6DEEC74C20D2C7B7&index=9
Dynasty Warriors 7 - Wei - Prelude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsEJTEMqPJ8&feature=BF&list=PL6DEEC74C20D2C7B7&index=29
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction - Main Theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szzZQwawELc

Both songs and OSTs (OSTs are songs, I guess), preferably OSTs.

[Ordinaryundone]

A lot of good ones have been mentioned, but I want to give a shout out to Street Fighter and just about all of its various themes. Ryu's, Chun-Li's, Ken's, Guile's, and Balrog's all stand out in my mind, in particular.

 

[T0MCAT]

simple and clean rock remix dunt rlly count but whatever,
and on that note sanctuary to from kingdom hearts,
almost every song from the FFX soundtrack,
armored core for answer especially someone is always moving on the surface and remember,
any boss battle tune with Vergil in DMC3 aswell as the tune half way through the arkham battle,
Kotoko's iconoclast from BlazBlue Calamity Trigger,
Wet's soundtrack was alright,
perhaps deadmans gun from red dead redemption,
the menu themes from guild wars are cool,
and I will stop myself there.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Well I really like the Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time as well as Song of Storms.

I also like Return to Planet X from Timesplitters 2.

<youtube=3SF1yMNJ38k>

And are other ones I really like too. Like the Battlefield theme, especially the 1942 version, Hell March 3 from Red Alert, alot of the music from Hearts of Iron 2, amongst others.

Here's the Hearts of Iron 2 Overture to give you a taste of the music from the game.
