Guilty Gear... all that game's music is made of win.
I second this. Guilty Gear has pretty much the most awesome soundtrack for a game, ever.

Morrowind's is sooooooo nice. It's got 5 or 6 different tracks of sorts, so you're not stuck listening to an endless loop

Kingdom Hearts II, for sure. The tracks always make me very emotional (Namely, the ending version of Sanctuary, and Dearly Beloved). Okami had amazing tunes, as well.

I have spent days with the Portal soundtrack on random (on YouTube, I am praying for the day I can buy the Orange Box OST). Oddly enough, as much as I love Still Alive, it's not my favorite.


are my two favorites, I also love the remix done by Victims of Science, The Device has Been Modified. (There's another great remix out there, of Android Hell and You Can't Escape, You Know.)

Stubbs the Zombie. Covers of 50s tracks from modern day indie bands.

Anything from the Katamari games. In the same vein, anything from either Jet Grind Radio or Jet Set Radio Future is a safe bet. All games involved have some extremely varied tracks.

The last two Splinter Cell games have also had some really good soundtracks, both done by professional electronic musicians.

All the Sonic games for the Genesis had amazing music, in my opinion, 16 bit or not.
Anything by Nobuo Uematsu, even though I don't really like JRPGs any more.
Mass Effect 1 & 2 have some great tracks, too.

Chrono Cross had a few gems, I also liked the Starcraft tunes. Silent Hill as others have mentioned. Saboteur had a few neat songs.

Those are just a couple.

Let's not forget the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack.

I haven't played Silent Hill 2, so if I had to say, (don't kill me for this) Halo 3 ODST. But only if you like soft rock and/or piano.
