Other, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game. By far the best video game soundtrack I've ever heard.

Portal, of course. But I actually chose Katamari Damacy. It's one of the very few video games with music awesome enough to put on my regular playlist.
Out of the Main choices, Probably Portal, I love the song Still Alive. Though to be honest I regrettably haven't had much experience with the other games (I'm PC only).
However other games have had what I consider to be better music:
For Fun factor: The Battlefield Heroes theme, I can NOT stop whistling it, it suits the game really well.
For Epic Factor: The Rise of nations intro had big sweeping music that really fitted the BIG time-spanning movie it was in.
For Emotional factor: Spyro, The legend series. Say what you want about the games themselves, Holy Sh*t some of the songs where amazing, they practically bring me to tears through awesome. (Specifically "Broken Soul" and "Guide you home") And because I still have theme stuck in my head, both those songs share my best music trophy for now.

Most memorable? Portal.
Favourite? Super Mario Galaxy 2... or Mass Effect 2... or maybe World of Warcraft, Hmm, tough call.

.......okay, you got me. But you have to admit, Chrono Cross is indeed too old for said question.CUnk said:
Kingdom Hearts. Hell, the best part of the second game (apart from, arguably, the more severe tone the narrative took) was the music.
You sadly can't say the same for 358/2 days, because there was precious little new music in there. I hope Birth by Sleep at least added some new stuff.

For me, it has to be Beyond Good and Evil. The tunes were all brilliantly atmospheric, especially for a game that blends genres as well as BGE. The action themes, sneaking themes and the gorgeous themes for the open world are all brilliantly realised, in my opinion.
And I believe that "Home Sweet Home" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed for a video game.
I guess I'm a fan of atmospheric music in my games, because as a runner up I'd like to nominate Metroid Prime. Particularly for the opening and for the Phendrana Drifts theme.
And while I love the Mass Effect games and their music, none of the themes, besides the main title, were as memorable and breathtaking as the ones I've mentioned above.

Portal had music? (Well, okay, I remember the Still Alive song.)
Anyway, the Zelda series, as a whole, has by far the most memorable music of any game series. Especially the Dark Overworld theme from A Link to the Past has been stuck in my head for more than a decade.

I'm just a radical kind of guy who constantly brings up his favorite game. Freelancer's music has stuck with me since I first heard it.
