Licenced tracks OST, Vice City.
X2 without a doubt.

For original soundtrack I would say Skies of Arcadia although I don't know how many of you have played it.

For best theme I'm going with:


It's just so catchy!

Nearly every Sonic the Hedgehog Soundtrack, with special mention for the vocal albums for Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic 2006, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight, Shadow the Hedgehog, along with the Sonic Unleashed and Colors Soundtracks. Another of my favorite video game albums is the Blue Dragon Soundtrack.

San Andreas has the best licensed soundtrack by far, even if Saints Row 2 holds a certain place in my heart for including "For Real" by Okkervil River.

Favourite soundtrack from a game this year would probably be Infamous 2 - really suited the setting and mood.

For all time favourites though, I can't go past the 16 bit Sonics, SMB2: Yoshi's Island, Jazz Jackrabbit and the Donkey Kong Country series.

Lost Odyssey, Jeremy Soule soundtracks, Bastion, Age of Empires 2, Brutal Legend :)P), Bioshock and... Lord of The Rings Online has some of my all time favorite game music. Although, it had a few duds in there as well.

Chrono Trigger for sure. It is incredibly consistent, and manages to strike a nice balance between diversity and a recognizable style. I am also a bit of a whore for 16-bit music in general...

Which is ironic, given that my other favorite soundtracks are those for Shadow of the Colossus and Okami. I also have a good deal of sentimental attachment to Ocarina of Time's soundtrack, and its rendition of the Hyrule Field theme might be my favorite piece of videogame music ever.

For something a little less obvious, what little I've played of Planescape: Torment had some pretty great music. I really need to play more of this game.

I'd say my favourites would be, Silent Hill 2, Persona 3 and Digital Devil Saga, and maybe Metal Gear Solid 1-3

THAT'S HARD.

Here's a mix of fantastic ones:

The Myst soundtrack wins, but only by a very narrow margin.

Say what you will about gameplay, level design etc, the Original Halo Combat Evovled Soundtrack always has me coming back. the combination of Gregorian Chant, Brazilian drums, and a throaty military Strings section make the Halo anthem awesome, which says nothing of the other great tunes.

a strong second place would have to be the Ocarina of Time soundtrack.

Finally even though I don't consider it the "Soundtrack" I love the 1930's-1950's tunes that were featured in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, exposing some of the greats to a younger generation.

Shadow of the Collossus all the way. Suprised no one else has mentioned it.

Honourable mentions go to the Halo series and Devil May Cry.

The Witcher Themes are damn cool.

Feels very European, not extremely bombastic, but incredibly effective at setting tone. And listen to that guitar!
