This Is A Blog About Video Game Music

My favorites to be exact. Several people have done this in the past, but I now realize that I have yet to talk about what my favorite songs are in video games that I have played. But be warned! Spoilers throughout! This is in no particular order, since I'm awful at making Top (insert number here) Lists.
Mass Effect
Theme Song
The first thing that comes to mind when discussing video game music is Mass Effect's theme song. It is capable of giving me goosebumps whenever I hear it, and it plays at some of the best moments of the game: when you are being introduced to Shepard as he/she walks through the Normandy, and at the end when you realize that Shepard did not die after being slammed in the face with thousands of pounds of metal. The best part starts at 1:10Modern Warfare 2
White House Battle Theme
Never before have I heard such a haunting song in a video game, and the scene it plays in makes it even better. The last part of the epic Washington DC battle is when you are storming the White House. Once you realize that the large building in front of you is the nation's capital and bullets are flying from it towards your head, you can't help but think that the world is ending. And this song really gives you the feeling that all hope is lost. Hans Zimmer is the man.F Zero X
All Of It
I cannot find one song in F Zero X that I don't like. I remember playing this game when I was a wee little child, and one of the more memorable things about the game is the awesome soundtrack. Action packed guitar riffs always help in racing games. Here's but one of the excellent songs on this soundtrackModern Warfare 2
Gulag Liftoff
I could probably just put every MW2 song in this list, but that wouldn't be any fun. This one is memorable because it plays during the scene when the Gulag is exploding and you, Soap, and Captain Price are zipping up to a chopper on a rope while the place blows up around you. It's just amazing. Listen at :14 for the best part.Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Theme Song
I spent so much time playing San Andreas when I was younger that I don't even feel like writing a description for this. I would much rather look back and reflect on the hours and hours of fun I got from this masterpiece. The theme song belongs in my heart, as cheesy as that sounds.So there we have it. My favorite video game songs, off the top of my head. Any of these you would agree with? Disagree with?
