Best Game Soundtracks

Since Starcraft II released and everyone says that game's soundtrack is golden I would like to know what other good game soundtracks there are.
And, Red Dead Redemption is the soundtrack I enjoy alot.

 Chrono Trigger & Donkey Kong Country 2. 
 
There's been a few of these topics already (one that I remember quite recently too) but whatever.  

Hitman blood money soundtrack.

Mass Effect games and Metal Gear games are my favorites.

Planescape: Torment has some really good ones.

" Shatter. "

I agree with this. The Rez soundtrack is really good too, and I quite like the Mirror's Edge soundtrack for a bit of ambient downtempo style music. "

Okami, Super Mario Galaxy, Mickey's Wild Adventure, Prince of Persia (2008), Odin Sphere, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Duck Tales, Bayonetta, Mega Man (every single one), Castlevania (every single one), Pokemon (every single one) and Zelda (every single one) all have really good soundtracks.

Metal Gear without doubt, and if you're considering licenesed tracks the GTA games have all been fantastic at encapuslating the respective periods they've been set in through the soundtrack, especially Vice City for me personnaly.

Persona 3 and 4. Shoji Meguro is a fucking genious.

These are some of my most recent favorites, except for Albert Odyssey, that's an old Saturn RPG from working designs (RIP). 
Final Fantasy XIII, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, Resonance of Fate, Albert Odyssey: The legend of Eldean 
 
As much hate that FFXIII received I must say that the soundtrack is absolutely brilliant, same with Resonance of Fate.

The Red Dead soundtrack really is awesome,Bioshock has great music in it.I also like the music in SSF4,NFS Underground 1 and 2 and it's already been said but every GTA game has great music

  It may be old as hell, but come on, it's AWESOME:

Mass effect 1 and 2, Final Fantasy X, X-2 Piano Soundtracks

Metal Gear Solid series (Snake Eater= greatest song ever)
Skies of Arcadia
Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Persona 3
Nocturne
Golden Sun

this thread AGAIN ? 
 
the first 30 times are tolerable, but after that it gets repetitive dont you think ?

I love the original Ratchet and Clank soundtrack, it's quality music that perfectly captured the playful sci-fi atmosphere of the game; Persona 4, but I definitely have some Endurance Run nostalgia bias; Ico and Shadow of the Collosus have gorgeous and really unique compositions.

Halo 2, and ODST have great soundtracks, courtesy of Marty O'Donnell.

My favorite ever is Metal Gear Solid 3, followed by BioShock. After that, strong ones include (I guess in chronological groupings?) Super Mario Bros. 1 & 3, Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda, Super Metroid, Sonic The Hedgehog 1-3 + Knuckles, Ristar, Kirby SuperStar, Donkey Kong Country, Earthbound, Sonic 3D Blast, Final Fantasy VII, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie & Tooie, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, 007: Nightfire, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Halo (full franchise), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Jedi Outcast, Conker: Live and Reloaded, God of War (full franchise), Resident Evil 4, Dead Rising, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2), Mario & Luigi (franchise), Warcraft III, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Braid, Fallout 3, Assassin's Creed II, Uncharted 2, Left 4 Dead (2), Bayonetta, Red Dead Redemption, and Super Mario Galaxy 2. 
 
I haven't played a game made since then. 
Oh, and also pretty much every Guitar Hero/Rock Band title they've made so far (with the exclusion of the TERRIBLE GH: Aerosmith and GH: VH) and Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (with Long Train Runnin', La Bamba, etc.)

I thought Silent Hill 4 had the best soundtrack of the series. It wasn't the best anything else of the series, but the soundtrack was amazing. Akira Yamaoka did good.

Halo and Pokemon.

Vice City is my favourite. The Zelda, Mario and Metal Gear series' have great soundtracks too.

Audiosurf. 
 
But being serious on the internet here for a second. 
Mass Effect 2, one of the Halo games (no idea what game it was) and many of the Final Fantasy games. 
 
Also, almost anything Jesper Kyd has had his hands on.

Super Mari Galaxy
 
 

The most criminally underrated soundtrack ever is the Xenosaga 3 OST

 Love this thread. Unfortunately, most everything I was going to list is already listed. I got a few soundtracks in mind though.
 
Cave Story
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Secret of Mana
Tetrisphere
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 
Kingdom Hearts 2
Silent Hill 2

Halo 2, 3, and ODST all had fantastic soundtracks.

Pokemon, Mass Effect, Persona 4 and if I'm gonna be an ass about it, Rock Band.

MGS (In particular Snake Eater Theme and Love Theme) 
GTA San Andreas 
Red Dead Redemption 

Oh shit how could I forget Jet Grind Radio
 

Persona 3 and 4, Sam and Max, Mass Effect.

Metroid Prime and Castle Crashers, for sure.

Katamari Damacy
Killer7
No More Heroes
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (any of them)

Fatal Frame 1/2/3.

" Metal Gear without doubt, and if you're considering licenesed tracks the GTA games have all been fantastic at encapuslating the respective periods they've been set in through the soundtrack, especially Vice City for me personnaly. "

GTA: Ballad of Gay Tony, suits my love for dance music, great selection.
Mass Effect 1 & 2, awesome space trance.

I would posit that Final Fantasy X has the best soundtrack of that franchise, though doubtless many would disagree with me. Also, Shatter, as has been mentioned.

Bionic commando both original and the remake are great or World Ends With You.

Tetrisphere, Orange Box, CoD:WM2, any Zelda.

" @HitmanAgent47:  Oh and Streets of Rage 2. "

Shatter, Persona Series, InFAMOUS.
