[Kiju]

Clover Studio's Okami, for the PS2

 

[Spudgun Man]

Although its not on the list for me Risen had one of the most memorable soundtracks.

 

[Denamic]

Not generally a fan of Halo, but it had a fuckin epic score.

 

[Angerwing]

Um, Fallout 3?!

 

[Lim3]

Fallout 3 or Zelda

 

[StriderShinryu]

While I prefer the music in Halo, I would have to say the music in Katamari is more stick in your head memorable. The only tune in Halo that really does that for me is the theme song (particularly the version from Halo CE).

 

[Rogun11]

Persona 3 and 4 for me. Sure it was a little j-popy but it just blended in so well. And the last boss for 4's music was just immense.

WoWs music is unique and it gives a sense of epicness to every thing from walking into Stormwind for the first time to the music in the citidel and even the new cataclysm theme is epic. other than WoW id say halo

 

[Travis Higuet]

Mechwarrior 2 Its a little older than these other titles, but the music was fantastic. Give Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack a search on Youtube, and check it out for yourself.

 

[Zyxzy]

Modern? When's the dropoff? Anyway, I say Command & Conquer.

 

[pilf]

I wanted to say portal but there's only one song i find memorable in that, there fore i'm gonna say Freedom Figthers. Ok it's not as recent as most of the titles listed but each song is brilliant and highly memorable and, fits the context and genre perfectly.

 

[Kyrian007]

Chrono Cross

Gotta be Chrono Cross.

 

[PoorCollegeLad]

Portal has Still Alive, but that's only one song. Halo isn't my favorite franchise, but the scores for all of the games are amazingly fleshed out and that percussion just kicks ass.

As for one that's not on the list, the Mass Effect series, particularly the second one, had an amazing soundtrack, albeit a little repetitive towards the end.

 

[theaceplaya]

Other: Uncharted. I really like the main theme, and think it should get more attention. But Metal Gear Solid is a CLOSE 2nd for me, especially MGS3.

'I'm still in a dream Snake Eater!'

 

[Bek359]

Elder scrolls IV: Oblivion. The music matched the free, adventurous spirit of exploring perfectly

While the ambient exploration music was very immersive and adventurous, it could have done with a LOT better battle theme, as well as unique tracks for specific, climactic events. I mean, the Battle of the Great Gate and the Battle of the Imperial City deserve better than the mildly threatening normal battle tune, don't you think?
