What do you think the best gameing soundtrack is?

[MDMR]

pretty simple, just comment on what you think the best game soundtrack is ever. Mine would Haze, because Korn did the whole thing!

 

[Hazy]

The Silent Hill series, 2 in particular.

NieR also has a phenomenal score.

 

[Raso719]

Homeworld 2.

And I don't think it, I know it. I submit this evidence to prove my case.

The first song always gives me shivers when that really deep, strings kick in. Totally awesome. The Arabic inspire music also really helps to add a sort of mystique to the wandering nomads that the Hygarian forces had become, it was a really amazing choice.

Quite possibly 1701 AD, although the Paraworld soundtrack is also excellent.

 

[Digitaldreamer7]

oh, that's easy..

World of Warcraft

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

Bastion, real variety and some real emotion in that music.
2nd Skyrim. the music is the best part of fighting dragons, I let them drag on just to hear it.
3rd. original portal, just one song but its just that good.
Zelda and Metal gear get honorable mentions for some of the best themes ever.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution takes the cake for me


The soundtrack is just amazing beyond belief

 

[Honey Badger]

[Metaphysic]

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Machinarium
Donkey Kong Countries (all of them)
Dark Souls
Zelda: Wind Waker
Golden Sun I and II

[ASan83]

Chrono Cross' soundtrack remains the pinnacle of video game music.

 

[AD-Stu]

Is it cheating to say Guitar Hero: Metallica?

 

[ResonanceGames]

Portal 2. It was like a weird experimental electronic album, which is awesome.

 

[skywolfblue]

Portal 2
World of Warcraft
Homeworld 1/cata/2
Mass Effect 2

So many excellent choices.

 

[Pearwood]

Final Fantasy 13
Demon's/Dark Souls

You sir, have won an internet!

OT: I 'll go with Silent Hill 2! :3

 

[Alien Mole]

Planescape: Torment.

Also enjoyed Mass Effect and most of the Final Fantasies (except XII - I prefer Nobou)

 

[cgaWolf]

I've always like the Elder Scrolls main theme (still undecided whether i like the Morrowind version more than the current Skyrim one), World of Warcraft has an excellent music score (incl expansions); but if you guys like Game OSTs, i suggest looking at http://www.inonzur.com . He's the guy who made the music for War in the North, Dragon Age, Fallout, Prince of Persia, Syberia, etc..

 

[York_Beckett]

I hold Silent Hill 1 to 4 very high (2 being my favourite), as well as both Mass Effect games and any Zelda, really.

Another favourite, which may come as a surprise, is Alan Wake. While the licensed songs were all great, the the incredible atmosphere was hardly beat by anything, and the original score gained some very emotional response. It was just beautiful, and fit perfectly with the game's overall mood.

Only because I didn't think of it first...And because Rock Band Japan never happened dammit

Final Fantasy...Mystic Quest! When it comes to Final Fantasy, there will almost always be good music. Mystic Quest was my favorite though, even though on a case by case basis, other FF titles had a better track or two, like Dancing Mad and the Opera in VI and, Vamo Alla Flemenco of IX. The music from Mystic Quest however, was just freaking Metal. There's no other way for me to describe it.
