Favorite Music From A Video Game

@fxjoey0:

Phantasy Star Online 2 OST - Tricktrack Part Two:

Nice! Nice to see someone show this track some love!

Wagomu

In my own predictable way, I'll say Grim Fandango. Why?

Otherwise, Psychonauts, Shadow Of The Colossus and Katamari Damacy come after.

No matter what the games may be like, the Sonic soundtracks rarely disappoint. When a new Sonic game comes out, for me, it's like my favorite band releasing a new CD. Black Knight is no exception. These tracks in particular are quite amazing…:

W6llWd7nslw
SuK9cJCCnOM
4ogEO3uz26Y
dngjC0qgxV8

And the best god damn track on the soundtrack:
JmhIngHIlNU
^Fun fact! The former lead guitarist from Megadeth Marty Friedman does the guitar work on that one!

I've been listening to Parappa the Rapper songs on Youtube these days. God, they're good.

I love HL2 + episodes' soundtrack.

Awesome "ambient" music from an awesome game. Also, you can guess what the lyrics say, since the Engrish is strong in this one:

Street Fighter 2 and his unforgettable stage songs aside, this is pretty much the best I've heard in a fighting game. This song in particular, is just too epic for words:

HPA3Y-acjb0

The best game ever should have the best music ever. And it does:

swzFo_p9Ud8

And a blast from the past. My favourite game untill Shenmue came along. And my favourite OST of a videogame. . .untill Shenmue ca. . .well, you get the point.

Absolutely loving Sonic CD (EU/JP) at the moment

Theres something so satisfying about hearing this when you finish a level:
ypONnK3hpAA

The US version just cant compete with the EU/JP one in the slightest.

S3&K is definitely one of my favourite soundtracks of all time. Not strictly VG music but these covers are among the best:
ycSJZS5VJIo

b5WP-bzwWRY

2tA2n-o7jms

So glad other people realised how Metal the music in that game was.

Another hidden gem is this great blues themed track from Sonic 1 MS/GG:
ln3ypDw5yt8

And its amazing fanmade 16-bit older brother:
13QtraXaQX0

Dare I say that the Master System Sonic 1's soundtrack is better than the Mega Drive version?

Zkaiser

All day erryday.

ShenLong Kazama

I think all Tekken and God Of War Soundtracks are awesome

Insider2000

I'm listening to this right now:

Seriously, no matter how bad a Silent Hill game is, it always has great power to it. And this game is bland. The story was okay, but God I love the music.

Colosseum and XD had awesome music in general. Probably the best soundtrack of all the Pokemon games.

MetaMario

Hm…..there's a lot of favorites for me.

But, for convience's sake, here's 5 of my favorites (no ranking):

I think it's fair that the BEST ending credits song EVER makes an appearence here.

This thing is pure gold.

KamenRiderNeko

Since I've been on an 8-Bit and game music kick lately…

Silent Hill, 1-4, especially 2. I used to love falling asleep to it =3
Love Psalm, Overdose Delusion, A World of Darkness, Prisonic Fairytale are some of my favorite tracks from SH2.

Resident Evil 2, most of the random wandering-around music

Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, beautiful soundtracks!
My favorite track has to be Fear Factory from the first game and Stickerbrush Symphony from the second game.

Phantasy Star Online Ep. 1-3
Can Still See the Light (Wind Orchestra Version) has to be my favorite track.

Star Fox SNES
Corneria theme is just epic in general. Also love the Meteor and Space Armada themes.

Metroid series
I love the music in all the games, specifically Metroid Fusion and Super Metroid. Prime had some amazing music in it as well.

So many others, but I can't think of them at the moment lol.

I've said it countless times and I'll say it again: I don't give a shit if you're a Halo-hating, JRPG-loving, no American games for me kind of gamer (don't take any of this seriously, btw), Halo's music is fucking great.

Also, I've been learning a lot of Nintendo OSTs on guitar
Csguitar89 on YT does a great job of composing a lot of old Nintendo classics on guitar, drums and bass.

Though the US did have a few good tracks, with this being the only one I'd say was better than the original:

The Moon theme from Ducktales.

It's from an arrangement CD and not straight from the game, but damn if that isn't a fine track.

so my stone goes to my favorite game (I am biased^^): planescape torment, I never really noticed how much work went into the background themes until I stumbled onto them on youtube Oo^^

my favorites from pst are:
Deinonarras Theme:

Main theme:

Nameless Ones:

dunno if I should add this.. I like it, but most of the time I experienced a "GRAAHBL I'M DEAF"
Baldurs gate 2 Intro:

but this is the true king, ok mostly because I died so often to it:
BG 2 - Dragon lair:

actually there is so much good game music around. Loving the castlevania dracula x chronicles & morrowind 3 themes (not that I dislike the other music, but it is kinda similar to each other).

aah.. and some stuff from American McGee's Alice:
main theme:
