i have posted in here but forgot what I posted, so I'll post again. Two Worlds, the soundtrack REALLY is the ONLY good thing about that massive waste of time and money!

[Vertigo_95 572]

I am a big 8-bit and 16-bit fan so I like most of the music from the Mega Man games especially Mega Man 3 considering that one is my favorite throughout the series.

Finally got around to finishing Dishonored (Which by the way became one of my favourite games upon completion) The song that plays  during the credits is almost all I've been listening too lately. 

[Mutemutt 773]

Back with two more

 

First up, I got Persona 4 Arena. Many of the songs featured on the game are tracks from Persona 3 and Persona 4 but there are some original songs as well as remixes worth mentioning. 

The Arena (Naked Mix)

Princess Amagi <-- definitely my favorite track. Here's the arrange

 

Next is Skullgirls. I love its style.

For original scores, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I don't care if it's a cliche choice) and Silent Hill are probably my favorites.

 

For licensed music soundtracks, all the Tony Hawk games between Pro Skater 2 and Project 8, as well as Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.

[Mickey Taker 347]

See if we can't pump some life back into this topic. *ahem*
 
Pretty almost every piece of Music from Thunder Force 4 I find quite good, they're the closest you'll find to a good guitar riff sound  within the capabilities of the Sega Mega Drive.
These two stand out for me though, enjoy. ^^

Earthbound has a pretty awesome soundtrack. it sounds very futuristic and weird which I like.

 

 

The Command And Conquer franchise also had some pretty neat music in it. It was a nice mix of Rock and Electronic music.

[DaReaper 1,944]

One of my favorites would be Castlevaina Symphony if the Night gane had a kick ass soundtrack

 

Honorable metions for me is Twisted Metal 2(lot done by Rob Zombie) and GTA Vice City

[Buttonmash1973 1,026]

My favorite Video Game Soundtrack are coming here from the Amstrad CPC game Knight Tyme I had back when I was around 12 yeras old.

 

[CornBreadGang 514]

For me, it's Ocarina of Time's soundtrack. I loved the mix of calm and chaos in the games music. The game was great, and so is its soundtrack.

[Solar Cloud 493]

I really like Okami's soundtrack. It blends historical Japanese music and modern symphony. I especially like this song from the final battle.

[Guest]

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Sonic DX <3

Banjo Kazooie/Tooie

Animal Crossing (Gamecube)

Super Mario 64/Sunshine

Catherine

 

those stood out the most to me.

[Th3 Chaos Theory 89]

Splinter Cell fan so I go with this soundtrack. I love the intro with the violin and it's later part. Preferably my favorite because it's the multiplayer soundtrack.

I'm partial to the soundtracks for God Hand, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, any Zelda game, and the Donkey Kong Country series. Last time I participated in a thread of this kind I chose God Hand as the favorite but at the moment I'm feeling a bit retro so here's some Donkey Kong.

I love to play games, a lot of games actually. One thing I found in some of my favorite video games have in common is a great soundtrack. In addition to having smooth game-play, developing characters and a well written story-line, a game also needs to have a good soundtrack to back it up. Some of the most remarkable games of all time often have some of the most recognizable music, and there are plenty of games that fit that criteria.
 
More often than not you will catch me listening to a song or a track from a video game and I will play it out like there is no tomorrow. Here are just two tracks from two different video games that I enjoy listening to on a regular basis.
 
Number 1: Persona 4 - Corner of Memories

Before I begin to tell you why I love this song, I just want to get this out of the way. Persona 4 is my favorite RPG, period. This game feels so complete and well done when I had beaten, I felt this sense of gratification and happiness that you can only feel when a special moment or event has left a positive mark on your heart. I know that sounds rather over the top for some of you but that is my honest feeling for this game, it had that much of an impact on me.
 
If you have ever played and completed Persona 4 then you know EXACTLY what I mean when I said all of those things, and the song, Corner of Memories, does a fantastic job of reliving the emotions I had felt during that animated cut-scene before the credits roll. If you haven't experienced Persona 4, you are really missing out. Play this game the second you get the chance to.

Number 2: Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 - Seeking Answers
 
I know that not everyone who reads this post will have watched Naruto or have even watched the show.Just remember that this little list I made is just me expressing some of the songs that I like to listen to on a daily basis and I will explain the reason why.
 
I am someone who has not gotten into the Shippuden series like a majority of the other fans. I had only watched half of the original series and that was it. The only reason I had gotten into the Shippuden series is because my friends were getting Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 and I didn't want to be left out.
 
The song "Seeking Answers" is the soundtrack to the fight between Naruto and Sasuke underneath the bridge in the story mode. The emotions that are flying throughout the battle are reflected not only in the dialogue, but also in the song that is accompanying it. The emotions of Naruto are telling him that his best friend is on the verge of inner destruction and he is trying to find a way to save him. Towards the end of the fight, Naruto realizes that him and his best friend, Sasuke, could have easily been in each others shoes, where Naruto would have ended up as the villian and Sasuke would be the hero. It's a rather sad and touching moment and the song does a damn good job of sparking what Naruto is feeling inside of you. This song has a place in my heart for that reason.

Those are just 2 of the songs that I listen to from video games. Now it's your turn to tell me what are some of your favorites. Don't feel like you have to explain them as much as I did, you can keep it short and simple if you want. 
 
Because I couldn't come up with a way to end this post, I will put on a happy face

Thats a tough choice so many games I played had great soundtracks guess I'll do a top 4

 

Twisted Metal 2

 

Final Fanasty 7

 

Grand Theft Auto Vice City

 

 

 

Castlevainia Symphony of the Night

[TheFoolArcana515 50]

Nice list of games there, I enjoy all of those games myself

 

Out of the four you picked mine would be Symphony of the Night for the end credits song "I Am The Wind" by Cynthia Harrell.

She also did the song "Snake Eater" in Metal Gear Solid 3

[AtomicStone 724]

I'm probably going to be the only one that thinks this but I find that every year FIFA brings out some awesome soundtracks, especially this year!

[Sunny Fox 5,950]

Hi there, @@TheFoolArcana515. Just an FYI to keep you in the loop, but your thread has been merged with this older one that discusses the same topic. Gaming is generally "Media Discussion" more than "General Discussion", for future reference. The search function could have prevented this accident.

[QuirkyUsername 1,576]

Had a feeling persona would be on your list fool arcana XD

I like the menu theme but prefer the "I'll face myself" battle track

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6psnrd6m6qQ

 

I could ramble about any track from Dust: An Elysian Tail but for simplicity I'll just mention the menu music Falana ^^

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJdWQsPM1Ls

 

Much like the others I could just ramble on and on but I'd rather just link it than bother with a wall of text but Bonds from Asura's Wrath :3

and with a less dramatic touch Hero from serious sam 3 XD nothing beats mutilating legions of aliens to this XD

[BrilliantVenture 334]

Oh man, where to begin!

 

I guess I have to start off with the classics first...I love the old 8 bit chiptune days...In fact, a remix of the tetris theme is what inspired me to become a DJ and create electronic music!

 

I've never played a mario game that didn't have a good soundtrack...so those are definitely up there

 

Kingdom hearts/Final Fantasy has beautiful scores in every game, and yoko shimomura and nuobuo uematsu  do briliant work!

 

The creators of the ambience/music for the Portal series did a fantastic job on their pieces,

 

and a really random one...I'm a big fan of the music used in the "Amnesia - Small Horse" series...

 

however, I'm a little biased on that one, because someone in particular has a brand new song in the next

 

installment (details soon to come though!)

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

 

 

I did not play this game for long time now, but I always loved and will love this soundtrack. Fighting was even more awesome with all those tunes rocking during fights. 

[Skeletor Brony 703]

You know, there are many games with amazing soundtracks like Saint's Row 2's classic 80's rock, but I really gotta give it to DOOM. I'm not too much of a rock fan, but this stuff is rad.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Journey has one of my all time favorite soundtracks sometimes I listen to it and cry because I'll never be able to play the game T_T but seriously, there's so much emotion in the songs! I would link it, but I'm on my ipad
