Persona 4 for me.

Uncharted 2 had some great epic scores but P4 wins it for overall catchyness........this is the way I remembered the 'otherplace' music...."hum dum diddy, bah da diddy..can't hear you..NO MORE!"



Well they probably aren't the lyrics but thats how it sounded to me everytime I emerged from the other side of the TV

EDIT: It is actually called "Backside of the TV"

Corridor is the best Persona 4 track for me, wouldn't have heard it in game since it's appears near the end but I saw a youtube link to the track on another forum. Saying that, My Affection and Heartbeat, Heartbreak can be in my head all day after a P4 session I picked Uncharted 2 more for the sound than the sound track. The sound mixing really was excellent.

NFS Shift.

Love the way the sound was used to distort the player when they crashed, and how violent some of the cars sounded when you where in the cockpit view.

Uncharted 2

johnny_ultimate

Persona 4 (for soundtrack)
Flower (was going to say Demon's Souls here, but the atmosphere created by Flower's soundscape is just as impressive, plus reacts more dynamically to what is afoot)
Uncharted 2 (for that brilliantly epic and scene setting theme tune, plus genuinely engaging voice work)

silvine

Modern Warfare 2
Red Faction

ShaneU

Can I pick Beatles: Rock Band or is that cheating?

Also nominating Shatter and persona 4

GothPunk

Shatter for original soundtrack.
Uncharted 2 for voice acting.
Persona 4 for the J-Pop.

Wobbuffet

Little Kings Story

Crucifix

Assassin's Creed 2 for it's great soundtrack
Uncharted 2 for the soundtrack, voice acting and general sound design

tman

Uncharted 2 - more for the voice acting than anything. Some of the making of films on PSN are quite interesting if you want to find out how it was done
Arkham Asylum - perfect understated soundtrack
Bayonetta (PS3 JAP import) - Great use of music, especially fly me to the moon

Lands Leaving

Flower. It used music so well, the way the flowers hit a note as they blossomed and it just fitted seamlessly into the soundtrack was fantastic.

brainiac

Uncharted 2

elekid

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Rhythm Paradise

cherryghost

Aion, disappointingish game with a very good soundtrack and atmosphere created by it
