Too many to choose from, really. Judging from how often I listen to certain soundtracks, I suppose Deus Ex: HR, Dawn of War II and Assassin's Creed II are pretty high up there.

I see an awful lot of votes for Bastion here. I gotta say, I enjoyed the game immensely, and the soundtrack was a part of that, but in my opinion most of those tracks only work while actually playing the game, whereas they sound like annoying caterwauling on their own.

Every other OST pales in comparison to Grim Fandango's, it's just perfect.




Fallout 1 and Kotor also get honourable mentions.

Dark souls has this amazing song I cannot stop listening to. >>

I am quite fond of Fallout 3 and Fallout NV licensed soundtrack too. As well as Bioshock 2, Saboteur, LA Noire... I suppose I am into older songs.

I liked the OST for Metro 2033, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Something about those gloomy environments made the music better,

I'm gonna do this wanky thing and throw out props to an indie game.

Thomas Was Alone has some of the most magnificent music I've heard. I recommend getting it, I hardly think anyone could possibly be disappointed. Amazing music.
I listened to the Album on Bandcamp and seriously considered getting the game just to see the music implication. The soundtrack to that game is spectacular.

The first four Silent Hill games all have really good soundtracks. My current favorite being:


American McGee's Alice deserves a mention, Chris Vrenna did a very good job with that soundtrack!

Persona 3 Portable- All the good of Persona 3's soundtrack, but with more! and some of the more is better than the Persona 3 stuff, so double victory! My only complaint is that it doesn't have the FES tracks (to my recollection), but whatever!

So Escapists, what is your favorite OST for a game? Also, feel free to recommend me some.
If you've not played/listened to tit, try Frozen Synapse. Remarkably good soundtrack, even though I usually dislike that style. It helps that the game is kick ass also


I can also name the obvious ones, but I've been ninja'd probably.

Also, Indie game Receiver (google it, it's great!) has some great music.

I loved the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. I also loved the Star Ocean 3 soundtrack, but I can't find the music from that anywhere.

If you're into metal and you haven't heard the MechWarrior 2 soundtrack, you have done yourself a serious diservice.

Besides that I've always loved the Silent Hill 2 & 3 soundtracks and I definitely think Bastion's soundtrack is one of the better downtempo/electronic ones I've heard in the last 5 years.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC had some very good ambient music hauntig and dark.


Mirror's Edge soundtrack by Solar Fields is also great but the main menu song is just fantastic and I know the music itself is from Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky.

And special mention goes to this little song from Half-Life 2.
