Best game soundtracks

[tibilicus]

Just thought I'd post a thread asking everyone what their favourite game soundtracks are.

I personally loved both Fallout 3 and Bioshocks soundtracks, they really captured the sort of pre 1960's feeling really well.

[Mailman653]

I liked Mass Effect and perhaps the first or second Tombraider and MAFIA.

[Warluster]

I second the Mass Effect soundtrack. Also thought the Company of Heroes 'track was really good. Always liked orchestra music and listen to some tracks from EUIII, Victoria and Cossacks II.

[Xiahou]

Vampire: Bloodlines was pretty good.

[KarlXII]

World at War's Russian levels had a great soundtrack, especially the last two. Fallout 3 was great.

[John86]

Hitman:Blood Money had a nice soundtrack.

[rajpoot]

Europa Universalis III, Medal of Honour Allied Assault, The Witcher and ofcourse, M2TW.

[Whacker]

I regularly listen to both the Deus Ex and Fallout 1/2 soundtracks, those were well worth the money. The Brotherhood of Steel background music is my favorite of the FO series (love those air raid sirens), and go ahead and make fun of me but The Synapse (Hong Kong ambient) is my favorite from Deus Ex. I also have the Diablo 2 ambient music which I very much liked. The Mechwarrior 2 game also had wonderful music that I feel was frequently overlooked for it's time. Mass Effect also had great music. I'm finding that I very much like the Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core music as well.

Those were the ones that came to mind immediately.

Total Annihilation and Warlords III had fantastic soundtracks.

I think Command and Conquer must've been one of the first with a proper movie-like soundtrack? It had that Mechanical Man song!

And I'll put in a word for Evil Genius, just for its OOT bombastic main menu music.

[Fragony]

Sacrifice has the best game music ever.

Now that gets the adrenaline going.

Command and conquer red alerts soundtrack was great. The whole hell march opening sequence, I think that's what the song was anyway.

[Ramses II CP]

Descent 2 has my all time favorite sound track from a game. I haven't played that game in a decade but I still listen to the music every so often.

[Pontius Pilate]

Metal Gear Solid soundtracks and Europa Barbarorum.

[Kekvit Irae]

My childhood in a nutshell.

[Fixiwee]

Final Fantasy VII.
The only gaming OST I have in my music lib. Just so epic and deep and everything.

[Martok]

Shogun Total War
Birth of the Federation
Medieval Total War
Klingon Academy

Superb music, all of them.

Halo series: CE, 2 (withouth the pop stuff), 3.
Medal of Honor series: Medal of Honor, Underground and Allied Assault.
Command & Conquer series: I love what Frank Klepacki did there. Excluding the Tiberium Wars which has horrible sondtrack. Generals has awesome soundtrack clearly influenced by the Black Hawk Down film.
NHL series: 96-99 PC versions.
Total War series: All of them, except Shogun which is too lazy.
Rainbow Six series: From Raven Shield to Vegas 2 pretty much.
Silent Hunter series: III and 4.
MGS series: Metal Gear Solid, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater and Guns of the Patriots.
Hitman series: All of them, Kyd is one of my favorite gaming composers.

Emperor: Battle for Dune
Mass Effect
Freedom Fighters
Call of Duty 4
Dead Rising
Universe at War
World of Warcraft
Perfect Dark Zero
Operation Flashpoint
Company of Heroes
Army of Two

Ghost Recon series
Gears of War by Kevin Riepl
Gears of War 2 by Steve Jablonsky
Armed Assault
Fallout 1 & 2

And many, many more!

Original score of the year for 2008 was either Gears of War 2 or MGS Guns of the Patriots.

Music in games, game scores and soundtracks are still ignored heavily for example in reviews for some reason.

[Meneldil]

Final Fantasy VII and IX had awesome soundtracks.
Eternal Darkness soundtracks are in my Ipod just for the freak factor.
Heroes of Might and Magic V
Magic and Mayhem : Arcanes (soundtracks by Afro Celt Sound System)

[TinCow]

Baldur's Gate. The main theme is quite possibly the greatest musical score for any game. The Morrowind main theme follows shortly behind.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Homeworld 2 has a pretty interesting soundtrack.

[Shieldmaiden]

Homeworld 2 has a pretty interesting soundtrack.

Homeworld used Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei beautifully... and included a song by Yes

Hi Tib hows things? I`m gonna go for the Halo series for all time best game soundtrack, unbeatable. Followed closely by 4 others, Homeworld series, Freelancer, Mass Effect and Fallout 3.

Btw, mate, I`m going to add you to my XBL friends list as soon as I`m back on live if thats cool with you.

Alright mate long time no see or speak. Everything is good thanks. How's things at your end? Hope everything is going OK with the lady and life's treating you well. Hopefully it's all sound.

I would have to concur with your choice of the halo soundtrack . Shame the game never quite lived up to it.

Anyway go right ahead with the add it will be nice to catch up with you after all this time.Take care mate.

Soul Reaver. Ozar Midrashim, the intro music, was fantastic.

And I've never been able to shake the Dungeon Keeper Intro.

There's been mention of Baldur's Gate, Morrowind, The Witcher, and Deus Ex. I feel inclined to agree with all.

[TinCow]

I've posted this before, but this is a good thread for it so I'll do so again.

PLAY! A Video Game Symphony

I went to this about a year and a half ago and it was excellent. I very much encourage people to go, as it's a lot of fun. The upcoming venues are in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Dayton (Ohio), and Winnipeg.

Yes, the original Baldur's Gate Main Theme is quite good, pity it's a shameless ripoff of Basil Poledouris' "Anvil of Crom" from Conan the Barbarian...

Baldur's Gate Theme...

Anvil of Crom. This version is especially fun, it sports Mako's voiceover that opened the film...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHDmXtW9Yx0

For originality's sake I prefer the main theme to Baldur's Gate 2...

Age of Conan and GTA Vice city easily takes the price for me.
Age of Conan for that the music fits the game perfectly(mean really, it's spot on) and Vice City is well it's just so damn cool.

[Weebeast]

For modern feel: Hitman series

For nerdgasm musical experience: World of Warcraft

Though I have few tracks I like in other games such as MTW for one, I can't think tracks I don't like in Hitman series and WoW.
