the best soundtrack of 2011?

seeing as how most of the games with cool and original music have come out, and i know how y'all love best of topics, so what is it? For my money it kinda has to be sonic generations, because MAN. MAAAAAAAAN. that chemical plant remix... the death egg remix... so good. Catherine's a close second though.

The Bastion soundtrack is the one I enjoyed the most

Blazblue, is a game I'd not play (not into fighting games) but some cool music for sure.

BTW: this thread is pointless without the music!!

For the music I like you can check: http://www.last.fm/user/trylks :D

PS: I've just check that this game is from 2009, WTF? Anyway, the music is still cool, sorry for going offtopic.

Shadows of the Damned

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

@Trylks: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II did come out this year, though much of its music is also from the original Continuum Shift that came out last year.

It's a tough call for me. Most of the games I've played this year so far either didn't have very memorable music, or were remakes with tracks that are already well known. But I suppose I'd have to give the edge to Yakuza 4, followed by Catherine.

Deus Ex and Shadows of The Damned were both great!

Catherine.

Bastion, definitely Bastion.

Deus Ex second.

The Witcher 2, and here's why.

Yo.

The first thing that came to mind is Ghost Trick

  Bastion!

i guess i need to play bastion now, is it fun??

I liked Pokemon Black/White's, but Uncharted 3 and Kirbys Epic Yarns are also great.

Skyrim 

The first thing that came to mind is Ghost Trick

Shadows of the Damned

Torn between the Bastion and Ni no Kuni soundtrack. Both are excellent!

Sonic Generations has fantastic music. Chemical Plant remix is fucking awesome, but by far the best score I have heard in any game this year goes to Socom 4/Special Forces by Bear McCreary. Ghost Trick, Bastion and inFamous 2 are also really, really good.

Epic Yarn came out last year.

I'm torn between Skyrim and Bastion.

Shadows of the Damned for sure. Catherine and Ghost Trick were pretty great as well.

Overall? Catherine, no contest.

Though this track from Skyrim is pretty incredible.

Shadows of the Damned, followed by the last 2 peices of Portal 2, particularly the Opera. That last peice is truly beautiful.

It's between Bastion, Arkham City and The Gunstringer for me.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

One of the best of the year and I haven't even played the game yet.

I'll nominate a few...

Basing the choice on what I would enjoy listening to outside of the game in and of itself, I have to say both Deus Ex and LA NOIRE win hands-down.

Lot of great soundtracks out this year, feels like more than usual. LA Noire had a great, evocative OST, Uncharted 3's is top notch as always, and I am still way into Catherine's soundtrack, but Bastion takes the cake easily. The number of times I've listened to every one of those songs is proof enough of how much I love that soundtrack.

Favorite track of the year.

Infamous 2's was surprisingly unusual and cool.

As for the best, I haven't played anything this year with really exceptional music, but Bastion and Shadows of the Damned seem to be up there. And of course Jeremy Soule is a goddamn genius, so Skyrim could be the obvious winner about a week from now.

Shadows of the Damned

This one!

Stuck, in, my, head.
Hauntingly beautifull.
 
  

The Two Worlds 2 soundtrack was excellent.  I really should get around to playing the expansion.

Bastion, hands down, though the Frozen Synapse soundtrack is pretty good too.

My favorites this year are Catherine, PixelJunk Shooter 2, Dissidia 012 and Trinity:Souls of Zill O'll.

EDIT: Also I'm playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and it has some great music.

You might dig the Frozen Synapse soundtrack.

Bastion is the only soundtrack I bought.
 
Granted I got a lot of soundtracks for free, but that isn't the point.

So far, probably Pokemon Black/White. But considering how much I love all the Assassin's Creed music, I'm fully expecting Revelations to be my favorite when the year is done.

i really enjoyed the Binding of Isaacs OST a lot.

Skyrim, fo sho'.

Skyward Sword and Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label seem like good candidates.

Bastion!

Yeah, Bastion gets my vote.

Bastion was my favorite of the year until I heard the main theme for Skyrim. I think Skyrim will turn out now to be my favorite for the year with Bastion right behind it.

Bastion.

First that comes to mind is Portal 2's OST. Frozen Synapse is also pretty great.

And Skyrim will no doubt be awesome.

The Warhammer 40k: Space Marine sound track was pretty good. Good battle music.

Of the games I played this year, Bastion's my favorite. Portal 2 was also fantastic.

Topic title made me think of Bastion first.

I've only heard like two songs from the Skyrim soundtrack (terrible quality though since it's youtube) so I can't really nominate that but I do agree that it sounds good but for all we know since none of us have played it yet only 4 tracks are actually good and the rest of the soundtrack is just the developers making fart noises
