What is your favourite Gaming soundtrack ?

Except from the Final fantasy IV soundtrack I have not listened to any gaming music so I was wondering if anyone in this forum listened to it. Also does anyone know if command and conquer have released a soundtrack.

Bastion's is the only one I've ever really listened to outside of the game. It's pretty good.

I love the soundtracks to Journey, Sword and Sworcery, and Fez. There are definitely others, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that I've listened to each one of those already today.

@pyromagnestir Just to ask did you play the game before listening to the soundtrack, Because I'm wondering if most people who listening to soundtracks like it because of the actual music or the memory's that the game give you. Saying that it might be both.

Persona 4 is definitely up there.

Journey has some of the best music I've heard in years. It's soundtrack is astounding.

Recently: FTL: Faster Than Light has a really amazing soundtrack, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown's is strong too. The latter was done by Deus Ex composer Michael McCann, and it's pretty easy to feel the parallels.

@Shotgunblast97: I played the game first.

Game soundtracks have never really been memorable to me, but Borderlands 2 has been pretty awesome. A few of the tracks sound Nine Inch Nail-ish.

Nier; nothing comes Nier it

...

I apologize

Also Digital Devil Saga 2 and Resonance of Fate though they aren't even close to Nier

Shadow of the Colossus

All of Jesper Kyd's stuff for the Hitman games, Amon Tobin did a really awesome soundtrack for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory:

Oh man, I can't pick one favorite. In no particular order:

• Frozen Synapse
• Bastion
• Shatter
• Donkey Kong Country 2
• EVE Online
• Command And Conquer: Red Alert

@Shotgunblast97: Several C&C games have definitely had released soundtracks. The Red Alert games have their OSTs on iTunes. I had the Tiberian Sun soundtrack on CD. It came with the box set of Tiberian Sun and the expansion.

@JackOhara: Yes! Jesper Kyd is great too! A friend of mine was his assistant for a summer.

I listen to alot of game soundtracks, and for me Bastion is up there and I absolutely loved the Max Payne soundtrack

• FTL
• Dustforce
• The Witcher 2
• Dishonored

Are one's I am currently listening to

Also anything by Jim Guthrie is absolutely fantastic

Off the top of my head...

• Okami
• Wind Waker
• Pikmin
• SoTC
• TW2

I have a couple of Final Fantasy OSTs that I listen to pretty often. VII, VIII, and X are my favorites, and I especially dig the "Piano Collections" of each.

I am also a fan of Jack Wall's work for Jade Empire and Jeremy Soule's for Morrowind.

Nier and the Silent Hill soundtracks. Also Catherine.

i can't pick favorites, but here's some that i like:

• No More Heroes
• Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate
• Max Payne 3
• Shatter
• Rez
• Ninja Gaiden

TES II: Daggerfall or Final Fantasy Tactics.

FFVII - I play a lot of these tunes on guitar regularly

Heavy Metal Remixes of Sonic game tunes

Journey, hands down.

I'm very fond of World of Warcraft's original soundtrack too, though.

And of course, Bastion and Persona 4 have exceptional soundtracks themselves.

I play the Bastion soundtrack when I play multiplayer games like BF3 to the point where I think that it is the BF3 soundtrack. Gets me into what some might call "the zone". And I agree that Jim Guthrie is great to listen to at any time.

Nier has the BEST soundtrack

Persona 3,4 also has a great soundtrack.

I feel like I've answered this question numerous times on these boards.

Bionic Commando Rearmed.

Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy VII & IX

Bastion, Fez, Persona 4

Playing through Persona 3 right now and I'm digging it but P4's is just amazing

The Mass Effect 1 soundtrack, perfectly captures the essence of 1980's sci-fi. In particular John Carpenter and Vangelis. But that whole soundtrack is a love letter to the entire genre during the eighties.

I predominantly use game soundtracks while I'm writing rather than as general listening, so keep that in mind:

• Darren Korb's Bastion soundtrack is phenomenal
• Jim Guthrie's Sword and Sworcery soundtrack is awesome, as is all his other work (he did Indie Game: The Movie as well)
• Frank Klepacki did all the old C&C; games and his work on those was great. His site allows you to listen to basically all his work in a flash window, it's pretty awesome.
• The Halo series
• Borderlands 2 and some of Borderlands 1
• Deus Ex
• FTL
• Binding of Isaac
• Super Meat Boy

Bomberman Hero will always have one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time.

Mario & Zelda Big Band Live, Darius Gaiden, Jet Set Radio (uk/jap), VVVVVV...list goes on.

Bastion, Shatter, Super Meat Boy, Sword & Sworcery EP.

Persona 4, Persona 3, Final Fantasy IX and Wind Waker.

Shatter has some awesome game music and I think they won some award for it too.

• Shatter
• A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda
• Adventures of Batman & Robin (Genesis)
• Armored Core 4
• Bastion
• Bionic Commando Rearmed (Simon)
• Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (Viklund)
• Payday The Heist (Rules)
• Black Mesa Source
• Castlevania Curse of Darkness
• Catherine
• Conker's Bad Fur Day
• Crusader No Remorse/Regret
• Dead Rising 1/2
• Deadly Premoniton

• Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom
• Kakuto Chojin
• Marvel Vs Capcom 3
• Max Payne 3
• Mighty Switch Force
• Neotokyo
• No More Heroes 1/2
• Magician (NES)

Some of the best music I've ever heard has come from video games. There's waaaaaaaaaaaay more but I'm gonna half-ass it and stop here.

Echochrome 2 is pretty good. It's 1 hour 50 minutes long and one track.

Undead on Arrival, inMomentum and Tower of Heaven are some favorite soundtracks I found before I played the games. I got them from the Game Music Bundles a while ago, I think.

@Shotgunblast97: You can get all the Command & Conquer soundtracks on iTunes. That's where I bought them.

My all time favorite is Lost Odyssey. I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet to be honest.

Most of my others have already been mentioned.

Braid and Bastion immediately spring to mind.

Just to name a few. Also it needs to be said that Monkey Island has the best theme music ever cerated and I will not hear otherwise

Doom and Doom II.

Midi guitars are AWESOME!

Probably Donkey Kong Country 2

There are tons of VG soundtracks that I like. It's hard for me to choose my absolute favorite.

It might be because I'm playing it right now, but Katamari has some rockin' tunes

Halo: Reach and the rest of em, the Donkey Kong Country series, and Super Metriod.
