Favourite Video Game Soundtrack

[Gali]

Lost Odsyssey. My favorite soundtrack of all time and Nobuo Uematsu's best work in my opinion. There is so much variety (instruments, moods...) in it and it goes well with the cutscenes and gameplay - I never get tired hearing the normal battle and boss battle themes.

My second choice would be the Halo ODST soundtrack. Don't get me wrong, I really like the music of the original Halo series, but the ODST soundtrack goes in a different direction and still has the "Halo effect" - that's really cool. It surprised me when I played this game for the first time. This track [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBnbJXO4JIk] is a good summary of it.

I also liked Stephen Rippy's version [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z89adFGjR3g] of Halo and, of course, his previous work in Age of Empires/Mythology.

There are more videogame soundtracks I love to hear. One last honorable mention: Guild Wars (Eye of the North) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOve2SuLMg].

Probably a tie between Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts (all of them).

Spoiler: Musical eargasms

Yeah, I know both of those were never *technically* in the games. Still the same song, same composer, just different versions.

Edit: Oh shit, almost forgot The Bastion. I actually own the soundtrack to that.

I am Disappoint.

Not a single mention to Christopher tin's Baba Yetu (Sid Meier's Civilization IV) , Which won a Grammy award. The first video-game Soundtrack to win a Grammy, might I add.



Another honorable mention to FFX and Halo

half-life series, definetely.
I'm a fan of rock and technoish beats.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

Red Alert 2, Oblivion. Haven't played Skyrim yet, i'm sure that soundtrack will become a fave. Oh, all GTA games, specially Vice City, what can I say, being a child of the 80's im partial

 

[Narfo]

Okami and Beyond Good and Evil. These are two musical collections that I will never get tired of.
I'm hoping to add Skyrim to the list.

 

[Neoseek]

Off the top of my head
Blazblue
Guity Gear
Okami
Metroid Prime
Sonic Generations

Maybe not my absolute favorite, but I am still posting it just because I guarantee only a small portion of you have ever heard of it.
That was just one of the many beautiful scores in the game. Just one more reason you need to play this game.

 

[Dark Prophet]

Half-Life 2 + ep
Silent Hill 2
Mass Effect
Mirror's Edge
Deus Ex Human Revolution

 

[solemnwar]

Dead Space 2's soundtrack has to be the best soundtrack I have ever heard, ESPECIALLY the first track- Isaac, Are You There

 

[Matt King]

pokemon snap, seriously i played it for a bit a few days ago and it is absolutely AMAZING

 

[Dark Prophet]

half-life series, definetely.
I'm a fan of rock and technoish beats.

First OST was like that but Half-Life 2 wondered into dark ambient, it doesn't make it any less fantastic though.
