Best game music of all time

[MaCaBr3]

Max Payne 2

For some reason I stumbled on the homepage and totally forgot how freaking awesome the theme was

[feedback]

it's good, but no wai

[seremtan]

- 'the ship' map music from CoD
- all the classic quake soundtrack
- parts of HL2

[Foo]

Unreal Tournament, Q3, Rocket Arena 3, Deus Ex and System Shock.

Though they're meaningless without the game, and vice versa.

[Foo]

oh and rollcage was pretty good too.

[Tsakali_]

the hitman series always has catchy tunes, original might they be or not

[scared?]

tf2...

[Grudge]

Halo is pretty good.

Outrun.

Oh, and Jetset Willy.

[Transient]

Shadow of the Colossus

[werldhed]

Shadow of the Colossus is pretty good, but the winner is Final Fantasy VI (FFIII US)

[werldhed]

I would also go with the obvious "Guitar Hero!!!" except there are too many shitty songs on there, too.

[Captain]

Battlefield 2142 has amazing music, courtesy of Hans Zimmer. Transformers game had some brilliant orchestral music as well.

[Grandpa Stu]

if we're talking original soundtracks then i'd have to go with marble madness, gyruss (the nes version) and the sonic series. sonic 3 had some of the greatest music ever. i used to get to that snow zone and just let it sit there and play.

otherwise games like wipeout, extreme G 3 and the ssx series had some pretty bitchin tracks.

edit: and super metroid has one of the best atmospheric soundtracks i've ever heard.
double edit: and the best rpg music has to be secret of mana.

[DRuM]

MTV Video Music Awards 2006..
Best Video Game Score: The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion

Dreamfall soundtrack was also nominated for those awards.

Just thought I'd mention it.

[DRuM]

Oh and from the same awards ,
Best Video Game Soundtrack: Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure

Wtf? Never heard of it.

[Hannibal]

Mechwarrior 2 and Ghost Bear's Legacy. Made the game 10X more immersive + boner.

[Transient]

Because MTV really knows WTF it's talking about when it comes to video games.

[megami]

The Elder Scrolls series, the first Knights of the Old Republic, and Deus Ex come to mind, in terms of original, atmospheric music. There are probably more I like, but my brain is a tad fried

[LBt1st]

All of Activision's music back in the MechWarrior 2 era was top notch shit.

-Bean

[Turbine]

I nominate Deus Ex and Half Life 2.

[l0g1c]

Mega Man 2
Castlevania
Metroid

Old School, I guess

Marathon 2's theme was bitchin

mystic cave zone

and ice cap + lava reef

I thought I played a bunch of games when I was younger, but most of the titles you guys mention I have never played in my life.

Btw, World of Warcraft has amazing orchestral music too, gotta hand it to them.

[Geebs]

Music in MGS2 was pretty good (unlike the game)

Catchiest game music ever was in Bubble Bobble; although the music from the first level of Castlevania on the gameboy is still stuck in my head after about 15 years...

Music in Sands of Time was great
