Best Video game theme song you've ever heard?

[VeLoCiTy562]

Anticipating Skyrims release I've been watching trailers, developer diaries, etc. and beleive that Skyrim has one, if not the most, EPIC theme song ever in a video game.

The only song I know of that may be even more epic than this is a combination of Elder Scrolls themes from 3 to 5.

I'm a HUGE fan of the tenchu series. Its what made me get into video designing in the first place. I'm in love with the beginning themes for the Second, and third games.

Awesome Choice! That theme always pumped me up once i heard it. but it was especially awesome when climbing that ladder that seems to go to forever.

That is a REALLY good theme. It makes me really regret picking GUN over Red Dead Revolver just by hearing that song.

by a long way (and i dont even really like halo)

How did I forget this? By far one of my favourite song ever. I loved listening to the main part whenever I was in a battle with the covenant. It always added a great feel to the game.

I realise this isn't exactly a "theme", but it's bad-ass, and it's Quad Machine from Quake II.

one of the halo songs was written by incubus...

...and another, called "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin, was the theme when the Covenant Civil war kicked off aboard High Charity in Halo 2...nice!

every one who has played borderlands would know that this song just fits the game perfectly.

The Forest Maze song from Super Mario RPG will always be my favorite.

I don't really know why, it has just stuck with me ever since I was a kid.

Sanctuary/Passion from Kingdom Hearts II. I can't help it, I'm not fond of the KH series but I just adore Hikki.

 

[DJDarque]

It was technically played during the ending credits, but I felt it summed up the feeling of the ending perfectly. It's beautiful.

Love all music in Prince of Persia; Warrior Within. I got the game to thank for discovering metal. <3
