I wasn't sure where to put this but here it is. What's your favourite game music? Mine's the old Gameboy Tetris theme tune! Awesome.
Elraine Kiyoshi
FFVIII Nobuo Uematsu - Balamb Garden -theme or FFVIII Nobuo Uematsu - The Oath.(Call me a tard for having the soundtrack, I don't care! wacko.gif )
falloutx
my favourite game music i think its gonna be contra classic
Deus Ultima
Super Metroid. I like the title theme so much! ^_^
A Reaver
Mass Effect's sound track
Space Giraffe's sound track
wasder
No one said Oblivion theme? odd.
XanAlderon
My all time favourites are "K.K techno" from Animal crossings, as well as "8:00"

The game over theme from Mario Kart Super circuit

The ending song from Super paper Mario.

"Dearly beloved" from kingdom hearts.

And the Morrowind title!
Astrifer
I have many picks on this category, but one of my all time favourites is from Chrono Trigger. The music on that game is just terrific, and I'm especially fond of the -->main theme<-- and of -->time circuits<--.
Werewolf334
Basically all the songs on Devil May Cry 1 & 2 biggrin.gif Goes along good with the game.
blackbird700
Hell March (all 3 from all 3 Red Alert games), and Oblivion theme (I played Oblivion only for about 30 minutes, but I loved the theme song) ...
wasder
Another Red Alert fan! Excellent. They did get good music for those games. And I love the little tune in MGS games when you die.
The_Terminator
Fire Emblem! Love the theme tune for that. Several of the songs in the two Golden Sun games are excellent as well.
Wrath_Of_Deadguy01
The top picks, as I see them, for out-of-game audio:

1. Ace Combat series (from AC4 onward)
2. Halo (love it or hate it, the score kicks arse)
3. Mass Effect
4. Orange Box
5. System Shock 2
6. C&C (the first four games)

----------------

In order of how well each soundtrack is used for atmospheric effect in-game:

1. System Shock 2
2. Halo
3. Mass Effect
4. Ace Combat
5. Portal

None of the above can be played with the music off without losing an essential part of the game, IMHO.

6. Half-Life 2 EP2 (sadly, EP2 still suffers from the loading zone music cutoff that every other Half-Life title has)
7. C&C (since you can change tracks at will)
keylek3
my favorite game music has to be not from one game but from four..

DeathWarrior

myrmaad
I'm a LOOOOONG time TR fan, and I'm emotionally invested in the TR music from first to latest.
jojo man
The music in Deus Ex wasn't bad. Probably not the best in the world but not the worst either.
Kresselack
For a techno theme, I think Extreme-G has a really good beat to it, especially on the first racetrack. The Kuldahar Village theme for Icewind Dale ranks the best fantasy theme.

The BEST themes are from the classic DOOM series.
Gligamesh
X-Men and Streets of Rage MIDIs on Genesis are perpetually stuck in my head...

Earthworm Jim (any of them)
d_thumb
From the top of my head in no particular order:
A kiss to build a dream on
Sanctuary
Action theme intro on Chaos Legion
That march song on Red Alert 2
Most of the ambient town themes on Final Fantasy series
Ace Combat Series
Fatal Frame 2
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
God of War
jaosals42
I really like the score of the Halo series, but the Tomb Raider series after Angel of Darkness has had impressive scores as well.
GenDonuts
I think that the Max Payne music is the best, or Halo banana.gif .
Rohok
My favorites have gotta be...


The ENTIRE Mass Effect soundtrack.

The Dungeon Siege theme song.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Original, and Rogue Spear music. Vegas 2 has a good theme song, but that's it.

I learned something pretty interesting. Marty O'donnel(the man who composed the halo soundtrack for all 3 games) also wrote the "Mr. Clean" jingle and the jingle for the Flintstones Kids vitamins.
GH4LIFE
I love the "Gerudo Valley Theme" from Zelda OOT
bbshrimp20

I would say that World of Warcraft has some pretty good music in some places and during some Quests. I would expect as much due to their massive amounts of funds.

My favorite, though, is the soundtrack to Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Floydian1
Rather like the music in Mass Effect especially the end track.
XanAlderon
I liked some of the music in Metal gear solid 4.

The last bit of the boss battles always freaked me out, so I'd play the Japanese pop song on the ipod. Instead of killing each other we all danced, good times.
Tangotaz
