Favorite Video Game Soundtrack

[adamclark52]

I've been listening to a lot of video game music on YouTube this weekend; Final Fantasy's, Ninja Gaidens, all the stuff I grew up with and have fond memories of. Then I came across the music from Chrono Trigger. Brought back so many memories, and as I cycled through the songs I found that I'd favorited pretty much everything.

So that's my favorite, of all time, Chrono Trigger

Here's a few of my favorites:

For original music, Final Fantasy X, X-2.

Otherwise, Tony Hawk's Underground 2.

[ChildrenofSodom]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, hands down.

Then probably Super Mario 64. Dire, Dire Docks? Holy shit.

[DethMaiden]

THPS4 got me into metal, but you probably mean score, so...Chrono Cross, I guess.

[HandOfDoom]

My favorite two game ost's are the Diablo and Warcraft series, and the first Halo game.

[SomewhereInTime72]

Classic answer would be Ocarina of Time (zelda series in general) for what has been my favorite for a real long time. But I actually enjoy a lot of video game OSTs, since some pretty brilliant writing and arranging goes into them from time to time.

My recent (ok, like past year and a half) favorite videogames music is definitely from Touhou Project though. I don't care how nerdy that makes me, ZUN writes music some bands could only hope to create. A personal favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETTk83qis0w

Oh god, I've been in love with video game music since a kid playing Sonic the Hedgehog in on my neighbor's Genesis. Speaking of which, OCRemix has an album out from that game for its 20th anniversary: http://sos.ocremix.org/

Here's a partial list of some of my favorite video game music: Sonic 1, 2, and 3. Megaman 2. C&C Red Alert 2 and 3 and C&C Generals. Halo. Alan Wake had a pretty great soundtrack. Kind of brain farting right now, but needless to say <3 video game music.

[ChildrenofSodom]

Halo has some of the best music, agreed.

Yeah, the first time you fire up Halo 1 and hear the chanting it leaves an impression. The music in the series has stayed surprisingly good imo. ODST's soundtrack was a little moodier, and Reach's was suitably epic.

[BloodoftheKings]

F-Zero X :rocker::rocker::rocker:

[DethMaiden]

Red Dead Redemption's score is pretty great. And I love how when you finally get to Mexico after 20ish hours of gameplay you hear vocals for the first time.

Oh yeah, I really enjoyed the soundtrack to that. I should finish that game sometime... I haven't touched it since last July and I'm still off in Mexico somewhere...

some of the first CDs i bought when i was young were soundtracks. that said, i only own two, ocarina of time and final fantasy 6. i give more credit to video game scores for piquing my interest in music than the radio or tv.

[LoveInSlowMotion]

The fact that no one on Metal Setlists has said Guilty Gear XX alarms me.

Shadow of the Colossus, bitches :rocker:

[Sinister_Chalupa666]

Red Dead Redemption's score is soooooooooooo good and Metal Gear Solid 4 is great as well.

[PurpleHaze]

Chrono Cross was one of my favorites. Some others would include Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, and God of War. I'm sure I'm missing a few though

[adamclark52]

I've been listening to a lot of the ambient music from Skyrim the last few weeks. It takes me back to playing the game and makes me forget how frustrated I was when I stopped playing it. Under an Ancient Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP1V9jDDQt0) is haunting.

[JRA]

Chrono Trigger soundtrack is pretty awesome.

My picks go to Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Mega Man 2.

[VoidFlame]

Phantom Dust had some pretty dark, haunting songs too.

[Nick_to_the_face]

Dunno if anyone here is a fan, but Journey had an absolutely fantastic soundtrack

[Jochen]

Any Zelda game, Final Fantasy IV and VI, although the others are good too. Earthbound's soundtrack is incredible, maybe my favorite. I also love the save room music from RE1 and Chicago: Stealth from Perfect Dark. The Mario ones rule too, someone mentioned Dire Docks earlier, I second that one for its awesomeness.
