Your favorite game music to listen to?

I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who has his game soundtracks organised on iTunes, or something like that.

So let's hear it; What kind of games do you usually listen to the OST for?

For me, the ones I listen to the most would be:

> The Half-Life games
> Dungeon Siege (and Legends of Aranna)
> Might and Magic VI
> Blast Corps

Any game with music composed by Tenpei Sato, Nobuo Uematsu or Yuki Kaijura. ;)

Definitely Half Life 2 games and RE 4 had some very good stuff I thought.

Portal-Still Alive...
There were a few songs in SSBB that I liked... Fire Emblem Vocal Theme, The Donkey Kong Country Remake songs.

Sonic 2's Chemical Plant song, lol...idk C&C stuff, but i don't really listen to it when i'm not playing it

I'd personally rather listen to my Daft Punk or Classical or w/e

Touhou doujin mixes
Half Life series
Halo trilogy
Still Alive from Mirror's Edge
Some songs from Fallout 3

That's about it for music from games, I think. The bulk of it comes from the first one, and it keeps growing. :

yeah i love the 50's Music in Bioshock and fallout 3, but personally i don't consider it game music, it's 50's music in my opinion so thats why i didnt list it.

The Tony Hawk series soundtracks always had a great selection of music. I never got any of them, but I always left the music volume on because the soundtracks were good.

Rome:Total War is the one i like lol

I love all the albums from OCRemix, but the one album that's gotten my attention as of late:
The Music of Blizzard Entertainment - Echoes of War (Performed by Eminence Orchestra)

It's unique in it's representation, yet retains true to original tones and medleys, kinda like the Super Smash Brothers Melee performed by the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra.

I've also been delving into chiptunes again as well, the original audio tracks from the games, in the form ripped directly from the game, so the Super Mario World soundtrack only takes up 1.5mb zipped :).

I always really liked the soundtrack to the PC game Heavy Gear. Composed by Jeehun Hwang. It has a very tense, driving kind of orchestra/electronic mix -- similar to the style of the Halo soundtracks (I mean style-wise, obviously the actual sounds are very different).

The soundtrack was actually an audio CD that you put in the drive while playing, so even to this day I have a nice awesome FLAC image of the music disc.

World of Goo sountrack is awesome. Free download from the creator here: http://kylegabler.com/WorldOfGooSoundtrack/
