Yes I know there are plenty of these types of threads. It's just that I love them because you get to discover lots of new music. I've always liked video game music more than movie scores or w/e, probably because of their creativity and uniqueness. You don't have to make a list in any order. Just add whichever songs/music/tracks that you like from any video game and you can come back and add more if you want. Here are mine:
 
 
Snake Eater  
Nate's Theme 2.0 
Okami

TWEWY
Catchy nonsensical English from Persona
 
I would have added Final Fantasy music, but that would make this list way too long.

Victoria II's got some utterly great tunes. Johan's Waltz is the grand example. Probably hated by the newer generations, but what the hell...

I know it's predictable due to my green name but come on, the Halo series has to have some of the best music in any video game EVER.

The Sam and Max Season One soundtrack is totally worth owning the two CD set and the Morrowind main theme is great.
Generally, however, I tend to game while listening to something else. I couldn't for the life of me hum what the Mario or Zelda theme is.

Absolutely. My top three when it comes to original scores in games are the Halo series, the Metal Gear Soild series, and all the Blizzard games (especially World of Warcraft). Never really been a fan of Japanese composers.
 
Also have to put all the Rockstar games right up there as well. Their licensed soundtracks are scary good and Red Dead Redemption's score was incredible.

I love Persona's nonsense! I listen to the Persona 3 and 4 Soundtracks all the time. I also really like the scores for the Zelda games, especially the Gerudo Valley Theme from Ocarina of Time.

Word.
Not to mention TES and Guild Wars especially. Jeremy Soule certainly knows what he's doing.

Just because you say something doesn't mean it happens. Asterisks indicate actions. For example...* transforms into the ghost of Marowak*...That beats Pyramid Head any day. However, to keep with the Fire Emblem theme...* transforms into Black Knight*...I'm like the medieval Darth Vader, only slightly less a whiny bitch.

Yeah! You should try listening to other songs from this and any other Silent Hill game. Many of them are really great.

There are too many good soundtracks. 
 
I like the following soundtracks the most: 
 
Chrono Cross 
Chrono Trigger 
Braid 
Donkey Kong Country Franchise 
Cave Story  
Halo Franchise 
All kinds of Super Mario and Zelda music.

 This is, without a doubt, the greatest track to ever grace a video game. And also, the pinnacle of Nobuo Uematsu's work.
  

  I'm joking of course. I think. I don't know anymore.
 
Anyways, I honestly can't decide on a best. There's too many good ones. And the list would be too long.
