So I just finished Bastion and I have to say that it could very well have the greatest soundtrack I've ever heard.

What are my fellow Escapist's favorite soundtracks?

Dynasty Warriors 4, easily.

A perfect mix of calm, classical Chinese music and fast paced, face melting guitar riffs that perfectly flow with the gameplay and deliver the perfect atmosphere for every situation...

...perfectly.

For me, it's a three-way tie between Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, and Assassin's Creed II. Midna's Lament, the Majora's Wrath battle music, and Ezio's Family are my favorite tracks from each.

In before Daystar Clarion comes to post this up :p


But theres loads of others for me, always been a huge fan of the Final Fantasy soundtracks (numerous across all the games), the Total War series generally has great sound tracks in it, some memorable tracks and some that are subtle but add a lot to the gameplay and scenes.

Xenogears. Haven't heard a better ensemble of musical pieces since I popped in the demo included with Brave Fencer Musashi.

The first Mass Effect, certainly. And although the soundtrack isn't that great as a stand alone the OST to Mirror's Edge fit the game very well, I thought.

All of the Fire Emblem games have good soundtracks, as do the pokemon games. For atmosphere, I like Bioshock, the World ends with you, and 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors.

The Painkiller soundtrack was absolutely amazing, I've never heard an OST quite like it since.
I mean seriously, what better backdrop to killing swarths of hellish beings?

A close runner up would be the Elder Scrolls series from Morrowind-Skyrim, I've listened to those outside of the game really regularly.

Final fantasy IX for me, brings back so many good memories, plus it's epic in it's own right

Bastion does have a very nice soundtrack.

I have a lot of favorites, but I've always really enjoyed Siren Blood Curse's.
A lot of people just think I'm weird though.

L.A. Noire is also a big favorite.

Other runner-ups: Uncharted, Braid, Enslaved.

Does Rock Band/ Guitar Hero count??....jk

Game soundtracks that still rock for me include: Goldeneye64, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest VIII, Shadow of the Colossus.

All-time favorite soundtrack has gotta be Donkey Kong Country 2. 32-bit musical mastery by David Wise.

More recently... Super Meat Boy
