Your Favourite game soundtrack

[SpaceBat]

I'm sure this has been done before, but I've searched through all 20 pages in search of a game music related topic and didn't find a single one. After having come across an escapist quiz about video game songs, I felt compelled to make this thread, so here's my question:

I'm sure we all have a game with a soundtrack or a specific song that was so incredibly good, it stuck with you for many years to come. I would love to hear a few opinions on what is good gaming music and what is not. Post your own songs that made you all emotional, laugh or drive you insane with its catchyness. Or songs that were so annoyingly bad that they ruined the scene they were used in. Add in an explanation if you feel like it, I'm leaving that part up to you guys.

Here are a few of mine that I will never be able to get out of my mind:

Spoiler: Metal Gear Solid 1

In my humble opinion, it's still the best video game song ever created. Period.

Spoiler: Metal Gear Solid 3

My god, I will never forget this scene ever again. The Boss truly is one of the best female gaming characters ever created.
To be expected, of course.

Spoiler: Final Fantasy 6

I love this game so much.

Spoiler: Chrono Trigger

YEEEEES! YEEEEEES!
Would beat the shit out of Kratos every day of the week

Spoiler: Ocarina of Time

I can't help but feel that the Forest Temple was a much scarier place than the one that was SUPPOSED to be scary (Shadow Temple), simply because of this amazing piece of music

Spoiler: Diablo 2

I wonder how many people remember this one

There are a lot of others, obviously, but it would take days to write them all down. So yeah, I'm curious, what are your personal gaming music gems?

 

[Weaver]

Mine would be either Bayonetta or Tropico 3.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let see-

Spoiler: The World End With You

This is so danm catchy

Spoiler: No More Heroes

This one felt more like a super villain fight than a assassin fight.

Spoiler: No More Heroes 2

Spoiler: Bayonetta

Spoiler: Phantasy Star Card Revolution

Spoiler: Okami

Spoiler: Viewtiful Joe

This is my all time favourite.

 

[Nightmare-Child]

I would say Disgaea.

 

[YOUM@D123]

hands down, blazblue

also the love theme from metal gear solid

Ya forgot FFIV and Chrono Cross but this pretty much sums mine up.

 

[SpaceBat]

Mine would be either Bayonetta

I'm guessing the main theme?

Spoiler: Bayonetta

There it is. It's pretty damn catchy all right.

Ya forgot FFIV and Chrono Cross but this pretty much sums mine up.

Oh yeah, how the hell did I forget IV? And yeah, CC does have an excellent soundtrack, but I'm still trying to forget the game.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Dynasty Warriors 4 -

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction -

Red Dead Redemption -

There's more but they're the three big ones.

 

[mikey7339]

Oh yeah, how the hell did I forget IV? And yeah, CC does have an excellent soundtrack, but I'm still trying to forget the game.

Why are you trying to forget Chorno Cross? It was different but the story and game was still pretty good in my opinion.

 

[ResonanceSD]

Team Fortress 2 and Mass Effect 2

 

[SpaceBat]

Why are you trying to forget Chrono Cross? It was different but the story and game was still pretty good in my opinion.

It was a great game, but I disliked the fact it just took a dump over the prequel, which is my favorite game of all time. I thought it was a separate story, as in not a CT2, but a spin-off of sorts, but if I am to believe 99% of all gamers, it's a direct sequel. It's just a personal issue I have with the game, nothing big.

 

[Pat8u]

Minecraft it just goes with it

 

[MazunatheMan]

Metroid Prime! Every song was perfect for the atmosphere

 

[Alluminn]

Skies of Arcadia
Hands down
Not even a question

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

I have to say Fable has always had a great soundtrack, but my favorite might have to be Halo.

 

[Irridium]

Timesplitters and Halo 3: ODST.

Timesplitters because the music is so varied and just damn amazing.

Spoiler: movie dump

^Actually supposed to be "Metal Tileset", dude who uploaded just had a typo.

I could post more. A lot more. But I'll just direct you all to the Timesplitters Music Box [http://tsmusicbox.com/timesplitters1.html] which has all 3 games' soundtracks that you can download for free. And yes, it's all fine and legal.

And now for ODST. ODST's soundtrack made the game for me. Set the mood, the tone, the atmosphere... it was just amazing.

Spoiler

Again, I could post more. But I think I dumped enough videos here for now.

 

[Llil]

The Dark Spire.
Especially the battle and bid-boss music, as well as the late game background music. They have those awesome vocals, that make the soundtrack pretty unique.

Spoiler: Battle

Spoiler: Mid-Boss

Spoiler: 7th. Floor

 

[wrightguy0]

Mafia II had great original music, as did LA Noire, there are some truly great video game soundtracks, best use of licensed music though, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and the ambient music in RD:R was stunning. Hans Zimmer did a fantastic job with Modern Warfare 2's music and was a unique choice.

 

[Lust]

Here are a few of mine that I will never be able to get out of my mind:

Spoiler: Metal Gear Solid 1

In my humble opinion, it's still the best video game song ever created. Period.

Oh my garsh! That song is one my favorites from MGS as well. I actually got a bit emotional when it was played in MGS4.

Now then, here's some of my choices:

Spoiler: Silent Hill 2

Spoiler: Forest

This one plays when you meet Angela for the first time.

This song stuck with me for some weird reason. As well as the entire soundtrack.

And I've said it before, this soundtrack is perfection. Hardly any video game ost has done that for me. Every single song is doused greatness. I will take that to my grave.

Spoiler: Nier

Spoiler: Temple of the Drifting Sands

I barely remember the part where this was played. It's been a little while since I had last played.
But, damn if the song doesn't pull you in.

Also.......

Spoiler: Shadowlord's Castle (Memory)

It's played near the end and it really brings everything together, albeit, in a sad way.

Hell, I admit, this game made me tear up a bit. It's rare that a game these days makes me do that.

Spoiler: Final Fantasy 7

Spoiler: Cosmo Canyon

Even though I haven't beat this FF, or any for that matter, I love this song. Red's back story about his father really connected with me.

By the way, don't you think this song kinda fits with the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

I only put few, because, I'd be here all damn day if I put every single song I liked. XD
