Your favourite music in videogames?

[EOr]

Final Fantasy--pretty much all of them had good music.

But for a PC game, the best is the opening of Sid Meier'S Civ IV: "Baby Yetu." (Don't know if they use this on Civ Rev--I haven't played that yet.)

 

[PlaylistOne]

Silent Hill (havent even played all the way through a single one of them, but I love the soundtrack)
Half Life and its sequels.
If the radio stations on GTA IV count then I nominate Liberty Rock Radio...
Bioshock

 

[Epifols]

Bill Brown

That guy is amazing, my favorite composer ever. I have a huge playlist of his stuff which can be downloaded for free here

[social_outcast]

The works of alex brandon on the original deus ex, and whats-his-face, the guy who did the music for morrowind, guild wars and NWN

 

[Drednought1]

Im not sure if anyones mentioned these yet, but the Dynasty Warriors games always have a good soundtrack.
If you have a liking for a good guitar riff that is.

the entire score from morrowind... mmm nostalgia

 

[PersianLlama]

Anything by Nobuo Uematsu. Seriously.

Also liking the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack, and other soundtracks like that.

Other than that mostly games with an oldschool appeal to the music. I love C64/Amiga-music, and 8-bit music almost as much. Some games on the DS, like Phoenix Wright and the Castlevania titles are good on that aspect, with the Castlevanias actually using some of the melodies of older games in the series, a wonderful homage to those great games. I'm sure the new Megaman will have great music too.

What he said.

I don't think you'll get many honest answers because people will have what I call the G4 complex. They'll vote for the game they like the best despite that game may have a flaw in that area. (Like GTA4 being original..)

My vote? World of Warcraft. There is one quest you turn in that makes the Forsaken Faction Leader belt out this REALLY beautiful song. The songs are just so high quality the ambiance of Warcraft is one of the top three things about it.

A special mention I forgot to give:

The Spaghetti-Western stylings of "Hidden Village" from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It was catchy as hell, and fit both the village and the sniping mini-game so very well.

 

[dan369]

Any of the music from the silent hill series, Akira Yamaoka is a musical genius.

Also anything by Nobuo Uematsu as already stated.

 

[flamebeaux]

tales of the abyss and tales of symphonia 2, valkyrie profile, final fantasy 7, kirby

 

[liquidious-fleshbag]

Gitaroo Man. The game is filled with Japanese cliches, but the songs!

 

[KimMR251]

OH how could i forget. THE PORTAL SONG. SO awesome.

it is my ring tone. the majority of the people i work with, if not all of them, have no idea what it is. i love it.

 

[Daemon888]

I have the entire MGS4 soundtrack on my iPod and listen to it pretty much constantly. The sickest part is being able to close my eyes and actually see the section I would be playing to whatever song is on... but personally I think that's fucking awesome when used under the right circumstances.

 

[Kaos Incarnate]

Hmm I really like the Zelda music and the music from The World Ends With You

 

[Terramax]

I'm pretty certain we've had this thread about 5 times in the last 3 months but here are mine again...

Vagrant Story
Myst III: Exile
Shadow of the Colossus
Panzer Dragoon Saga/Azel
Final Fantasy Tactics

I listen to videogame soundtracks all the time. If you own enough of them, there's every genre and mood catered for.

Castlevania SOTN was pretty good. Portal of course.
