Favourite game soundtracks

Definately Sacrifice, check them out

it looks like a file not found, but just scroll down. Especially the 'James' soundtrack is pure gold.

I'd like to second this thought. Sacrifice really does have some great tunes. Great game too, well worth the super-cheap price it goes for these days.

Should also mention Planescape: Torment, which has some extremely well done tracks. The music in the final locale is especially fitting and well done.

I remember playing a demo of the Squaresoft game Einhander for the PSX a few years ago. It was a side-scrolling shooter with some great professionally made techno music. I had several of the tracks on mp3 before my last total computer crash.

The music in Halo, just because it fits so well with what is happening while you play... It really enhances the experience of playing the game.

No one mentioned Total Annihilation yet? The composer, Jeremy Soule, has done a lot of other good soundtracks too, including Icewind Dale, Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights and KotoR. Probably many others.

Freespace 2 had a very fitting soundtrack IMO.

And I second the guys who mentioned Sacrifice and Torment; I really like Torment's theme and some of the more experimental pieces in it.

Myth 3 (composer Zak Belica) has some great, heavy melancholic tunes. Fits the game very well in general.

Kurt Harland did a fine job with the music in Soul Reaver; Ozar Midrashim's theme is one of my all-time favs.
