gaming Best videogame songs!

[Discordian 6,015]

Anything and everything from Nier, Sonic and the Black Knight, Wild Guns, Wild Arms 2 and The World Ends With You.

 

No seriously. All of these games have the best soundtracks in all of gaming.

 

Oh whoops, I didn't realize I posted in this topic already. lmao

 

My bad, my bad. (Little bit of filler to fill up the post so I can actually, ya know, post.)

[Descant 1,898]

I love the new music for Halo 4, I gotta say. The sounds, there, too, are just amazing. Whoever did the audio for that game deserves a medal.

Other than that, I like the Pokemon Route 2 theme, and basically any music from the Legend of Zelda. Tetris has a catchy theme as well.

 

How did I forget Glados's songs from Portal and Portal 2? *facehoof*

I can't seem to find the name of it but the music in first boss fight of Super Meat Boy is simply great. Also as I already like Cage the Elephant, hearing "Ain't no Rest for the Wicked" on my first Borderlands play through was quite special.

 

Can't go without mentioning "Still Alive" and "Want You Gone".

You're referring to "The Battle of Lil' Slugger", composed by Danny Baranowsky. I'm a big fan of the guy; I'm a VGM remixer and aspiring game composer, so I tend to look up to the guys in the industry like Danny B., who started in the OverClocked ReMix community.

Oh nostalgia trip here I come mystic cave zone music from sonic 2 for the Sega mega drive (genesis) I know its technically not a song but its still an epic tune.

 

[dar tunsh 446]

I gotta post the two classics that I love the most:

 

I dunno what it is, but something about Gourmet Race is just really catchy. I'll love this 'till the day I die.

The other is the menu theme frome Metroid Prime. I love it when electro 'n' orchestral choir are mixed together.

It just has to be something from FreeSpace 2 for me. My favorite game ever, epic gameplay, epic soundtrack, epic graphics with SCP.

[bigrigdave 22]

Not including covers, definitely the Halo 2 Mjolnir Mix. Check out Halo 3 "Warthog Run" too.

Including covers, definitely Pokemon! Kudos to Powerglove!

CASTLEVANIA - 8 bit over the top composition with so much personality it makes the COD OST pee its army pants with excitement, Dracula himself wrote this music and if he don’t I’m sure he is the one behind the synthesizer keyboard

First of all, I have never played the game but... This song IS AMAZING.

 

 

I love it so much... The game, I have seen someone fighting the boss and oh boy... it looks tough.

[Magpie 623]

Final Fantasy 6 Dancing Mad and Devil's Lab are two of my favorites. Dancing Mad really gives me a feel of Kefka's madness, and Devil's Lab fits perfectly with the Magitek facility, it gives me a feel that this is where the world's problems are stemming from, while also big just a good industrial feel. 

 

EDIT: And the portal/portal 2 ending themes. Forgot about them till I started to read through the thread.

[A Blithering Div 247]

Another one of my favorites from one of the best FPS games to come out:

 

Heard during highway 17 when you're underneath the train bridge.

[Envy 6,183]

The Kingdom Hearts series has great music, I particularly have loved this one since I played Birth By Sleep:

 

 

The Zelda series has great music, as well. I have plenty of favorites, but I tend to mention this one since the Oracle games are probably less played.

 

 

I simply love the theme, and I wish Nintendo would reuse it someday.

[Enigma 200]

 

It's also my favourite game of all time~

Outside of gaming music though, Vicarious by Tool is my favourite song without a doubt and has been for nearly 5 years = w=;

[Kamarat 103]

I got one thing to say, JESPER KYD. His work is outstanding, He can really give the feeling of the atmosphere. I really like his all job in all hitman series but he also has an outstanding work in Assassin's Creed series but I have just started to AC so only hitman soundtracks are here.

[EcstaticWind 572]

Too many that I call favourites to list them all

 

But off the top of my head, the music from Darksiders 2, the Halo series, most music from Bastion, the Water Palace theme from Sonic Rush, Ain't No Rest for the Wicked from Borderlands, Short Change Hero from Borderlands 2

[TheLegendOfPonies 4]

there are too many amazing Video Game Songs, but the I really like Final Fantasy Songs (: .... and Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon.. and everything lol

PLEEEEASE CLICK HERE ITS THE MOST AMAZING SONG EVER!!!!! I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH! ITS FINAL FANTASY XIII-II THE PROMISE IN PIANO!(: CHECK IT OUT

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

Final Fantasy 6 Dancing Mad and Devil's Lab are two of my favorites.

 

Oh dear, don't even get me started on Dancing Mad.  I had the honor of being able to see it performed live at a Distant Worlds concert (and they had a pipe organ!  A REAL PIPE ORGAN!  LIKE WITH PIPES AND ORGANS AND EVERYTHING!!!!) and it was perhaps one of the most awesome moments in recent memory.  If you haven't heard the Distant Worlds version, I would recommend giving it a listen.  The fourth tier music is a little meh in the version with the rock band, and they don't include the transition music between the third and fourth tier, but otherwise it is something you will not regret.

 

Oh, um, I guess I should contribute as well.  I'll try to make this short, but be warned, I have a lot of music in mind to put here.  I'll try to limit it to four, or maybe five.  Well, six shouldn't be too much...  But then I'd still have to cut out that one...

 

(or is it Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright...?  whatever).  It's awesome on its own, and even better in context with the scenes in the game.

 

(or just Fire Emblem in the English release).  It's really best if you hear it in context though; the first time that it plays as a map theme is absolutely perfect, and is part of the reason why Chapter 16 is probably my favorite chapter.

 

.  A remix of Companions which is your fanfare as you and your friends charge forth one last time against impossible odds.  Again, best heard in context, but a wonderful piece nonetheless.

 

Cyan's theme from Final Fantasy 6.  Also again, best heard in context, because it really is the definition of Cyan's character.  It's still beautiful otherwise though.

 

(and Yellow I think as well).  I know that there is a more updated version of this for Fire Red/Leaf Green, but this is quite literally the first in-game song that I ever fell in love with.  The nostalgic value of the original is worth the downgrade in quality.  Also also again, best heard in context.  Otherwise it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

 

Born Anew from Final Fantasy XIII.  This is actually the only one of these game that I haven't played.  I hear that this is the theme for the first part of the final boss battle.  It includes an amazing choir singing in Latin and definitely does not need to be heard in context to be enjoyed (perhaps it is better in context, but I wouldn't know...).

 

Oh crap, I should stop.  Sorry about that...  If you couldn't tell, awesome music excites me.

Except FFXII and Pheonix Wright: (only because i;ve never heard either.) I agree with you on the rest. And I have heard the distant worlds version, and fell madly in love with it. Can't believe you got to see it live. I'm as jelly as jellypony himself.

Wait... that means you've played Fire Emblem?  

I'm just going to savor this moment, because it's quite rare that I ever find anyone else who has played it (particularly that specific one).

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

I can point to a few tracks that are still playing in my head now.

 

I don't care how sophisticated the consoles are now. No faux-orchestral theme on surround-sound will ever compare to what the real masters pulled off with only beeps and boops at their disposal. The first Dr. Wily stage theme from Mega Man II is still as epic as anything I've heard.

Diddy and Dixie jumping through the vines...I died many times on those stages, but it was worth it to hear that music. If there's ever a contest for best video game soundtrack of all time, I will nominate Donkey Kong Country 2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IDudDgfcgQ

And how can I describe the final boss theme for Xenosaga Episode I? Yasunori Mitsuda's magnum opus of battle themes, I guess, and if you know who he is I don't have to tell you anything else. ^^

Played 7(Forgot it's japanese name) Sacred stones, path of radiance, radiant dawn, shadow dragon, and Thracia 776 (that one on Rom) It's one of my fav series, and i can't wait for the next to be released.

Yes! The Megaman one is epic! That and Castlevania are prob my favorite from the Nintendo, and some of my favorites to this day. Never played DKC 2, only the first, so I wasn't familiar with that track, but it's good as well.
