    Warcraft 3: Ending cinematic music Storm, Earth and Fire


    On Warcraft 3, why not a theme from a custom map?


    Total Annihilation: Imagine a few hundred units going to meet in battle, this is what you will hear.

    When the casualties start to mount up:



    Lets go further back.
    To a favourite developer of mine, Blizzard (again).

    On the SNES though.

    I prefer this to the real song...

    Who could leave out this game and its sequel?





    Lord of the Rings?

    How could anyone not mention the original Pokemon theme song yet!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbhbLrSQKyY

    I'm not going to lie, listening to that song right now just pumped me up.

    Great call on the original power rangers theme Moros, another amazing one.
