music Best Video Game Soundtracks

[Fluttermena 1,223]

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

 

Here, I'll post it:

 

 

Austin Wintory is awesome. This game was magical and I broke down in tears at the end.

The game was waaaaay too short considering how beautiful it is.

CAVE's best final boss music ever

Another fantastic final boss piece

 

 

 

Some a little sample of some of my favorite pieces in arcade games.

Just two of my favorites from The Legend of Zelda and Kirby, respectively.

 

The others I like include:

-Mega Man

-Metroid

-Kid Icarus

-Metal Gear

 

There's a ton more, but it would take too long to list.

Oh hey, look. Another music genre meme. Since all of my other favorite genres are taken, l decided the next best thing: music from video games!  HUZZAH! Aren't I a smart cookie! Post whatever genre or game soundtrack you want. It just has to do with games. I will go as far as remixes however, if it doesn't exactly have to apply to the game directly. I'm a Nintendo nut, so typically, I'll post some Zelda on here. HAHA! I'll only post a few though, so you guys get some chances on some Zelda soundtrack.

 

Here's some less popular and overused Zelda favorites of mine:

Let us begin.

 

 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I'll go out on a limb, and just put this song that is a huge part of the historic 2011 game known as Batman: Arkham City. So, let's get started.

[SomariFeyWright 776]

Meh. I'll pop in and post one song at a time, just so I can have excuses to come back often, and so I can resume being lazy.

 

Anywho,

Fire Emblem: Awakening. A very... interesting entry into the Fire Emblem franchise. It was much less story-oriented than past games, seeming to have most of its enjoyment coming out of the character interactions.

The interesting part, though, is that despite this, the story has some REALLY hit-hard moments.

 

This song is from the level that hit hardest with every player of the game.

 

 

... Yeah, I'm likely gonna introduce all the OSTs I post like this. Deal with it.

[Hazardus-Havard V.2 27]

I think one of the best openings for a game has to be "If You Still Believe" from the game, Legend of Dragoon.

 

 

It's such a great song to listen to.  Makes me sad that it never got big in the gaming world for an RPG series, only staying as small as it is.  This would make a great game for the new Sony consoles; think of all that great touchscreen controlling for when you attack!

[Grand_Finale 529]

This definitely isnt the third time ive posted this soundtrack

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3hFN8UrBPw

 

OKay, yeah it is, but I cant get over how amazing this soundtrack is. I cant

This is awkward, now that this has merged, Ive posted this video twice on the same page

Hi there, @. Since we already have a thread for discussing our favourite music soundtracks from games, yours has been merged with it. Just letting you know.

[Th3 Chaos Theory 89]

In my opinion, (Because this is also made by Hans Zimmer) this is my most favourite soundtrack out of every other video game ever.

[Virulence 254]

I've always loved the halo soundtrack and kirby air ride. Those two are my all time favorites. I could listen to them all day they are so grand.

 

 

[Hyper Tumble 1,483]

One of my all time favorites was Borderlands 2. It's intro was spot on with what the game feels like, and just stunning all around.

 

The runner up is Call of Duty: Black Ops. Great songs in the levels, and an annoying enjoyable and catchy Multiplayer theme song.

[FaZe Vinyl 521]

I really don't play many games with great soundtracks. Games like Madden, Call of Duty, and Battlefield don't really have memorable soundtracks like some others do. Two that really stand out to me are the DiRT 3 soundtrack and the Madden 07 soundtracks. (below is one song from each)

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

Fallout 3. I absolutely loved the OST in Fallout 3.

 

Borderlands 1 and 2 are a close 2nd...

 

I also found Little Big Planet's OST to be very enjoyable.

[CornBreadGang 514]

Big rigs. You know, the one with no sound?

 

Just kidding. my favorite is the Spider-Man: Edge of Time album, it's just so cool and edgy.

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

Not sure if I posted here... if I did, I probably already cited Okami (also Okamiden) and $Deadly Creatures.

More recently, I fell in love with A Walk In The Dark; its soundtrack reminds me of William And Sly, with a more longing note.

There's also Morenatsu, which you don't have to enjoy to like its soundtrack. It's a slice-of-life sorta game, so the OST reflects a variety of moods and contexts that can be relatable.

Earlier than that is Spore (and Spore Hero), especially the space theme which makes me dream.

[AustinDJRobinsonPony 26]

This is a cool thread  Well, I have my first 3 favorite soundtrakcs.

1st one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzwvItK3JPI

2nd one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vf3pFVZdNw

And the 3rd one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4jdLygR-dI

My childhood... is awesome. Even though I was born in 1999, I know most 90s stuff. :3

[Storn 11]

Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution both have great soundtracks.

Amnesia games' soundtracks add up to the great ambience of the games. The music just adds up to the horror instead of taking off of it.

Portal... Christ, did I spend an hour or two with this game. I used to speedrun it a lot with a friend of mine, so the soundtrack kind of stuck in my mind just because of that. Not like it would not be a great soundtrack anyway.

Portal 2 is also simply brilliant. Different from Portal, sure, but still brilliant.

Black Mesa... A Half-Life 2 mod. Made as a remake of the first Half-Life (a task in which it succeeds quite well) has a really good soundtrack too. The music kicks in just at the right times to highlight the action and bitchslappery being committed towards the bad guys. Great stuff.

And a countless number of other games I've played but forgot to mention. There are so many games with brilliant music out there, I just can't list them all. These are, however, the most relevant ones from my point of view. I never had any consoles apart from the Wii my folks bought just a little while before I moved out, so the classic video game themes and such "stuff that everyone should know", were helplessly missed by me.

 

TLDR: Amnesia games, Portals 1 and 2, Black Mesa and some other stuff. I never had a Nintendo.

[Skeletor Brony 703]

 People are always doing things like Zelda and Mario, but there are much better options. I already did a few responses already, but this one is one of the greatest songs ever.

[Midnight Dragon 264]

I love the soundtrack to Super Paper Mario!

Some level music made me feel happy--and other songs sometimes made me feel depressed.

And then, of course, this game has one of the creepiest tracks I've ever heard...River Twygz Bed. The distorted music, the muffled low-pitched voices...pretty epic xD

[Lonely 93]

Halo 3 unforgotten, halo4 theme song ,halo 3 theme song , halo reach deliver hope  halo2 blow me away ( acoustic ) , by the way im a huge halo gamer and cant wait for halo5

[Lacey Shadows 164]

I gots some more:

 

Treasure makes such good STG OSTs

 

Not as epic as Chapter 1, but still rather good
