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

Every Halo soundtrack(especially 2 and Reach, Not a fan of the saxaphone in ODST) except halo 4(has 3 good tracks), Mass Effect soundtracks(ALL OF THEM), Deus Ex HR soundtrack.
Halo series has great music. So does mass effect.
I also found Borderlands 2 to have a great OST

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!
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 alsoaxlryder said:
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.

Oh boy, there are many:
-Halo series: Sweeping orchestra, strong choir, accented by electronics and exotic percussion. ODST shook things up with some noir-style stuff, really good.
-Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Best electronic score I've heard.
-Mass Effect: The first game is an homage to classic sci-fi, old school synths and stuff. It's very cool. The rest of the series is a little more standard, but all likable stuff. The ending music for ME3 is exceptional.
-Uncharted series: Mixes classic Hollywood techniques with ethnic flavor. The same composer that did Firefly!
-The Elder Scrolls: The absolute best straight up orchestral music in games. Honorable mention to Guild Wars (same composer, same basic style)
-Medal of Honor: The WW2 entries in the franchise have exceptional music. In the same style of John Williams' Saving Private Ryan and Michael Kamen's Band of Brothers.
-The Star Wars games have a pretty good stable of composers.
There's probably a good deal more, but that's off the top of my head.

A lot of people have mentioned Bastion so far, but I prefer the higher energy instrumental tracks. This one particularly:
Another favorite from one that was mentioned a lot, Journey.
I also love Akira Yamaoka's work on the Silent Hill series, from the disturbing
to the beautiful.
Into happier music, there's the soundtrack of my summer, Botanicula:
Which means I also have to mention the equally quirky music of the equally wonderful Machinarium.
I also fell in love with the mysterious, underwatery music from Aquaria, this one especially.
Then there's the always-atmospheric music of the Myst series, particularly Riven
and Uru.
Continuing into MMO territory, I've always loved the FFXI soundtrack. From the classical western fantasy sound of Ronfaure
to the more JRPG-sounding Windurst.
The FFXIV soundtrack had some gold on it to, my favorite being this:
Even Perfect World had some fun songs, especially this one.
And that's quite enough for one post...

Oho you're so funny. I admit IX has a good soundtrack but the best FF?Solo-Wing said:
That title goes to Final Fantasy X and it's soundtrack.
