Truly brilliant game music

Gears of War main theme. Don't know what it's called, I guess it was just that awesome.

Doom -- E1M1

<youtube=BSsfjHCFosw>

good pick, only topped by this

Castlevania 2 -- The Silence of Daylight

<youtube=tiwsAs6WVyQ>

this song was really good, but it didn't have nearly as much impact on me as this one


now, I have only played Castlevania 2 about 3 months ago for the first time, and man did this song got me by the balls, I mean, I was genuinely mindblown

Spoiler: as for my picks

Elemental Gimmick Gear: Selen's Song


Journey to Silius: Ending


Jazz Jackrabbit 2: A Cold Day in Heck


Silver Surfer: Title theme


Drakkhen SNES: Creation of the Ninth Tear


and finally

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater



also, Sega CD Bios Screen:

I can't believe no-one's suggested:

Yoshi's Island - Big Baby Bowser boss fight; the best eargasm 16-bits can give!

Failing that any music from Grim Fandago, absolutely sublime

The Morrowind theme. Swelling, epic, moving. I lurves it.

Have you heard the Skyrim one? Add war drums and a chamber choir for Nordic lads.

Oh my goodness yes, and it's epic to the power of 10. Jeremy Soule has some serious composing chops.

ok lets see, we will start out with some ff9: rose of may
and move onto some guilty gear: momentary life
then on to some xenogears: flight
and finally some tales of monkey island: main theme

I really have to say almost all of Nobuo Uematsu's work is amazing

EDIT: Civilization IV theme is pretty awesome too

This is a pretty great post. I completely agree.


Love or hate the games, Final Fantasy has some of *the best* music.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Best midi soundtrack of all time.

Also, Skitchin'.
