Just mind blowing. I've never seen a tune capture the proper feel and immersion of a section of a video game this good before, or since. You can smell the cheap cologne and sweat with this song....

Gotta say, I'm surprised I'm the first one to mention something from this game. Say what you will about the game itself, but Chrono Cross's soundtrack is one of the best in gaming. All hail Mitsuda!
Indeed. My usual favorite is the opening sequence song "Time's Scar." Got to see Video Games Live do that one several years ago... a great night.Shadowsetzer said:
Another favorite, "Theme of Laura" from Silent Hill 2.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned this song yet! So, no cake for you!
I forced myself to finish Wolfenstein: The New Order, because the story was good. Unfortunately, I hated how the story ended. Except, the cover of a Chris Isaak song that they played over the credits is fantastically great.
For videogame instrumentals, I guess I would go with the Halo soundtracks. I like the combination of hard rock guitars and a choir.

Most epic and combines all them feels from the first Dark Souls summed up for me:
And the haunting, eery, beautiful thingy from Divinity:Original Sin..."The Lady, the mage and the knight"

The entire Bloodborne OST. Couldn't even pick a favorite as this entire soundtrack is grand. Also still really love the Final Fantasy 7 OST..old as it is. 
Must be about time for me to post the Morrowind themetrack again...
The entire soundtrack is pretty awesome, but I particularly enjoy Peaceful Waters and The Road Most Traveled.

Not just great gameplay and inspiring graphics, but easily one of the best tunes on the Amiga 500.
Groundbreaking graphics (for the time), amazing soundtrack but sadly dull gameplay. Can't get everything I suppose.
Best soundtrack for a NES game ever. Like, ever.
From the Angel-remix intro screen, to the in your face industrial metal of Ministry, this soundtrack is probably as good as it gets.
I love the Mass Effect series, in part of the amazing music and atmospheric soundscapes created by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick. A lot of the time I would open up the starmap and just let this song loop while I was doing things around the house or meditating. It is just so fantastic.
Will DOOM mark the return of Reznor inspired industrial music in our games? I for one certainly hope so!
OT: These forums need like buttons or something similar. There are so many posts in this thread that I want to click 'Like' on!
This is just one of the many, many (2 hour+ long) OST.

Skip to 3:13 for the first gameplay music.

Since I haven't seen any love for it yet, I'll throw up one of my favorite tracks from Black, though the whole soundtrack qualifies for me
Also gonna include Build That Wall from Bastion
I'll include this one on a bit of a technicality, since it's specifically the version with the radio filter put on for the game that makes me like this, but Willow's Theme (Bury Version) from Silent Hill: Downpour. It loses some of the melancholy feel to me without the grainy static overtop of it.

Same here. This song was the perfect way to end those tens of hours of managing the awful inventory. First time I didn't try to skip the credits right away.Frezzato said:
Since we've already had Snake Eater, I'm going to go with the MGS runner-up, Heaven's Divide:
You can't go wrong with Gwyn's theme from Dark Souls 1:
DS3 had some greats as well. Right now I'm loving Yhorm the Giant's theme:
And finally, just to change things up a bit, here's 'Still Alive' from Mirror's Edge, which might be the second best song about a video game character being still alive ever made.

Off the top of my head, I would have to say it's
And runner up for song composed FOR A GAME (seeing a lot of you just referring to licensed songs used in games. Yes I'm being an asshole.)
My second pick would have to be

When it comes to music, Remedy is always phenomenal. They had Poets of the Fall write two entirely new songs for the game, and later one more for the expansion. These songs were even released on Spotify under the group Old Gods of Asgard, and that band only exists within Alan Wake.
When it comes to soundtracks, I'd say that Max Payne 2 has the upper hand over Alan Wake though.These are my favorite themes:

It's a great moment within the game, and it still amazes me how that is the only proper cut scene in the entire game. I just wish that the game had utilized a better checkpoint system. I mean, Halo had pretty much perfected the FPS checkpoints five years earlier, so this is simply unacceptable.theSovietConnection said:
