music Best Video Game Soundtracks

[emiliano8193 11]

Hotline Miami had awesome music

[Geek0zoid 1,467]

My favorite classic sound track is EASILY Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

 

For modern gaming, it's probably... hmmm... *Aborts*

[Envy 6,005]

The Kingdom Hearts series has some amazing music. And by that I mean the instrumental background music that Yoko composes for the games, not so much the pop tunes (not really into J-pop...).

 

Of course, the Zelda series has great music, too. Although I was very disappointed (in general) with Skyward Sword's OST. I hope they go back to stand-out music in the next Zelda. Environmental music works best in dungeons, but not so much elsewhere.

[LightningBlitz 1]

I think Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had great music. Especially on those great loading screens -__-

[Rift enchanted 378]

I like mortal kombat and Tetris, link is also cool

[Fragilistic 65]

Battlefield 2 & 1942

Mass effect

GTA San Andreas

Super Marios bro

Call of Duty 4

 

If you guys played any of these games, you'd know

I would either say Halo 3, Halo 4 or Skyrim.

[NightOwl 911]

Ace combat 1, Sonic Generations, Medal of Honor Frontline and the Crysis trilogy are my favourite.

@, just letting you know that I've moved your thread over to our main thread for favourite video game soundtracks.

@ Topic - I was just playing an indie game called Beatbuddy, where the environment moves and pulses with the beat of the soundtrack. It's really quite awesome. You can totally get into this soundtrack without the game, though; it's up there in my favourites. Too damn groovy.

Hmm ... for me, the Arma 2, and Arma 3 soundtracks. I'm probably a bit biased since they are my favourite games of all time, but honestly, I think they have some pretty awesome songs that fit well within a decent range of different situations you might be faced with in the game.

Every Ace Attorney game had an amazing soundtrack. And that final objection theme from T&T...

Beyond that, Yoshi's Island had a great soundtrack as well. I don't think I'll ever get the first level theme out of my head...

 

 

Wait, am I old enough to be nostalgic about things?

My favorite has to be Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. Such an amazing soundtrack for such a simple game!

 

[Megas 27,126]

I'm inclined to believe that Platinum makes some of the best OSTs, I love Bayonetta's soundtrack and Metal Gear Rising is fucking awesome

I feel that original soundtracks for video games are under-appreciated since they're usually just in the background. Here are mine:

 

Mirror's Edge: Still Alive

Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater: Sidecar Escape From the Fortress

Assassin's Creed IV, Black Flag: High Seas

Dark Souls: Nameless Song

A number of songs off the Vvvvvv sountrack.

 

Everything ever from Red Alert 2 because dat Industrial Metal.

The Journey soundtrack is also fricking beautiful.

 

 

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

Batman: Arkham City's OST is simply a delight to listen to, I suggest checking it out.

[Midnight Blade 80]

Well since most of these are from visual novels I won't expect most people to know them, the last two aren't from any visual novels.

 

Blue Bird Lamentation

The Fragrance of Dark Coffee

Morphogenetic Sorrow

Discussion - Heat Up

U.N. Owen Was Her?

Calling

 

There are probably some I've forgotten which I may or may not post later.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,064]

Disgaea's OST is pure musical genius. Best OST of all time.

Simply put Castlevaina Symphony of the Night has the best ost i ever heard, FF series in general gets honorable metion

[TBMF1001 37]

The OST for every Kingdom Hearts game is one of my favs.

Especially these songs from Birth By Sleep:

 

Honorable mentions go to the OSTs from Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Wipeout, Wipeout 2097, Sonic Heroes, F-Zero GX and Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast).

[Astral Blitzen 469]

Timesplitters series ftw

[An Old Head 4,815]

@ - heads-up that your thread idea already existed in this larger topic, so I've merged the two together.

[BastementSparkle 20,312]

This one shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AX6h8_Y_ot4 (My favorite track is the one at the very end, My innermost apocalypse.)

 

 

This is great too:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GZhoE9S5YbQ

I used to love Sonic to death. I'm not as enamored as I once was, but the music is still awesome:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HUpCPpdjh1E
