[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

My favorite video game soundtrack has to be Simple and Clean from the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

I Listen to it once; Stuck in my head all week.

 

I love most the games you listed( But never played Alice- Madness Returns though, Not much of a fan of horror games. However I love the soundtrack "Flying on the Wings of Steam"). I do agree with you on their awesome soundtracks! (though some of the games I never heard of.)

 

Crap, I also forgot to list the Kingdom Hearts series xD I love those sound tracks too. I actually put some video game songs on my ipod and enjoy the music. IM SUCH A NERD! Lol

[Buttonmash1973 1,026]

I love all Sonic the Hedgehog Video Game Soundtracks music too.

 

One of my other favorite soundtracks are Sealed Door from Chrono Trigger.

I LOVE the Assassins Creed II soundtrack but I also really enjoy the Pokemon Black and White soundtrack. They both just seem really epic to me!
 

 

 

[Dr. Eggnog 203]

The Silent Hill games have the best soundtracks imo.  I love Theme of Laura and the first game's opening theme.  Final Fantasy games have great music too.  I also love the combat theme from The Hobbit game.

[Moon Rat 4,772]

I have developed a liking for the Half-Life 2 soundtrack.

That literally has to be the best techno music I have ever heard thus far :3

 

My favorite song on there is the LG Orbifold BGM

It is literally the best song on that whole soundtrack (that I have heard )

 

Another one would definitely have to be from the Ratchet and Clank series.

That music honestly pumps me up everytime I hear it and it is awesome

 

And then there is the SSX3 soundtrack

Some of the best music I have ever heard IMO is on that game.

Favorite song on there is Go! By Andy Hunter :3

So I was just listening to an ost from the ps2 game Radiata Stories (which is one of my favorite games), and it made me think what you guy's favorite game ost was.

So I'll ask... what it is?

[Pilot 40]

Mine's probably "Dearly Beloved" from Kingdom Hearts. It's such a peaceful and soothing song. I love it , and it's probably one of my favorite instrumentals.

Probably Xenoblade Chronicles. Kick ass game, kick ass soundtrack. It's incredibly diverse in terms of pure sound, too. You get atmospheric tracks, reflective, somber ones, and then KICK ASS HEAVY METAL WHOOOOO!

 

Seriously though, it's really good stuff (but obviously I'm biased since I absolutely love the game :<).

Mine would have to be the "Professor Layton" games. All of them have amazing soundtracks. I love the violin, I have put some of the best in the series, in my opinion. Listen to them for yourself.

There was an older thread for favorite video game soundtracks, so I merged yours into it. Just wanted to let you know what was going on.

[Jack Baker 698]

Another favorite ost of mine was from Xenosaga 3. Awesome game, awesome soundtrack. This is one example that I really liked in particular:

[Clover Heart 978]

I think that Donkey Kong Country and DKC2 have some of the most amazing music in video game history.

 

 

I may also be really, really biased (because this is my absolute favorite game of all time) but I've always loved the music of the Earthbound franchise.

 

 

Like, that's some of the coolest transportation music ever. You cannot deny.

I really liked some of the Earthbound music too, especially the Gigyas theme (believe it or not). I find the theme to be a bit relaxing, even though it sounds pretty creepy.

[King 5,625]

Well considering Halo is on of my favourite games of all time...

 

HALO!!!

 

The soundtrack to the Halo games are perfect for its setting, giving feelings of both hope,adventure and action

 

Marty is easily one of my favourite composers of all time

 

The Great Journey is a good one

But one of my absolute favourites is In Amber Clad

[hi300 56]

You have never heard of rock until you heard of these specimens.

 

 

 

The best band ever is by far Crush 40. Half American, Half Japanese, and all awesome!

[Ms. J. L. Snickers 101]

Sort of a drive-by posting, but I've always loved the songs in LoZ: OOT. One of my very favorite games in the world, and the theme songs for all of the LoZ games are pretty much fantastic. ^^ Especially the Nocturne of Shadow.

nice choice. that is my favorite in KH2 too!

 

Too bad I sold the game....

 

I'm sad....

 

But... I'm also angry at myself!

 

 

What should I be feeling?

 

Wait, I have a solution to this catastrophe! TO GAMESTOP!!!!

[soniccam1 242]

I think donkey kong country 2 has one of the most awesome songs in my opiton, like the Bramble Scramble level as it tends to be relaxing.

[Fluttermena 1,223]

By the way, has anyone heard Tay Zonday sing the Skyrim theme song? Listen to this, it's all kinds of awesome. Your ears will thank you.

[Garrett Johnson 57]

Black ops 2 Intro

 

This Intro makes me want to cry, btw I highly recommend this game, It's the best campaign I've ever played. Skip to 0:35

[Jack Baker 698]

I also liked the FFXIII soundtrack a lot as well. Really good, well composed, and pretty epic if you ask me.

Especially this one track, right here:

[)O( Scarlet )O( 1,259]

I just love the soundtrack to Two Worlds (the first one), even though the game sucked majorly and was a total rip off of Gothic, the soundtrack was bucking awesome!!

[Steel Crescent 841]

For my favorite game sound tracks I would have to go with,

Super Metroid,Chrono Trigger,FF7,KH1&2,Shadow Hearts 2:The Covenant,Blaster Master,Sonic3&Knuckles,Legend Of Zelda Series.

That's just some of my favorite soundtracks.

I always found that this song calms me.
