Favorite Game Soundtracks?

[sempai17]

Not really OST but still connected to the games.

My favorites are the Final Fantasy Piano Collections.
though specific (piano) favorites are:

FFX - Yuna's Determination (it's a pretty song. nice and slow, but it has a weird timing at a crescendo that sounds amazing but I can't get my fingers to play it right.)
FFX - To Zanarkand (I can play this:D)
FFX - Ending Theme
FFVII - Aerith's Theme
FFVII - Tifa's Theme
FFVII - Those Who Fight (I want to learn it, but my God, it's insane! 5 pages, with repeats, in under 4 minutes! Arpeggiations, "runs", chromatic scales...)

Mine would have to be the theme music for the sisters of battle in Soulstorm.

Also, i agree with those who said morrowind music, it sticks in your head.

Heh, I collect game soundtracks in lossless, mostly from PC games that ever had soundtracks released in CD audio quality.

As usual top place takes Blizzard with it's amazing game soundtracks, and latest truly orchestrated version called Echoes of War is simply amazing.

Of unique and special soundtracks I recall Trent Reznor work on Quake. Eerie ambient tracks with first one having short but heavy and bombastic introduction. Listen to it here. Sonic Mayhem did great job on Quake II soundtrack as well, tracks like Descent into Cerberon are both catchy and perfectly fitting the game. So goes to Quake 3 Arena too, where he collaborated with industrial/EBM veterans Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly fame.

Quite naturally comes to mind Frank Klepacki and C&C series soundtracks. Just nothing short of being awesome.

Unreal as well as UT had amazing and memorable tracks. Expressiveness and how naturally they were supporting visuals made experience even richer.

Legacy of Kain soundtracks by Kurt Harland (InSoc).

Planescape: Torment soundtrack by Mark Morgan. Fortress of Regrets theme.

Amon Tobin's soundtracks for the Splinter Cell games are excellent. Really nicely put together, in a minimalist kind of way.

There ya go...

Just about the best thing about the franchise really. The games themselves don't really keep up with the awesome music.

Well, more than half of my iPod is made up of video game soundtracks. I'd have to say that my favorites are the OSTs from the Myst series (Myst, Riven, Exile, Revelations, End of Ages, Uru) and from the Halo series.

In fact, I'm listening to "Beginnings - Yeesha" from the Myst 5: End of Ages soundtrack now.
