By far - OST from Sang-Froid. Traditional Quebec songs that blended very well into the tale of magic and werewolves.

I don't know if I should be cursing you or thanking you. Thanks to the track you put up all I've been listening to on Spotify the past few days are Québécois artists. :pac: I was also surprised at how close to Irish trad it sounds at times.

Which reminds me, this song always stands out in my mind because I can very distinctly recall finishing the game, putting down the controller and then going "... Is that Irish?!"

Don't usually download/buy OST's, but there are a few tracks from certain games which always give me goosebumps. Firstly, and my favourite theme/song from a game is the theme to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (Ozar Midrashim). I love this song so much as it always brings back some of my strongest memories of gaming and how it makes me feel. Awesome music! First OST i ever bought.

Then we have the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon theme, which as others have stated is just 80's awesomesauce!

A couple of others have also mentioned the Deus Ex: Human Revolution OST, and this was the second OST i ever bought, with particular mentions to Icarus and Sarif Industries Ambient:

After replaying it I have to admit Alan wake has a sensational soundtrack.

5uspect · 28-06-2014 12:50pm

The soundtrack to Dear Esther by Jessica Curry is excellent.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Metal Gear Solid series, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2

Easy decision for me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-ke4WBDTUA

That is closely followed by Uncharted & Metal Gear Solid Soundtracks.

Ri_Nollaig · 03-07-2014 11:42am

Without repeating some of the earlier choices, especially the music from Deus ex!

I loved the music from Vampire the Masquerade Redemption

especially the music when you were in the Haven.

Dark souls also had some great music when used

There are so many here that have been mentioned that I don't want to repost (Deus Ex, Final Fantasy, Blood Dragon, MGS...especially the intro track to 2...amazing! And that Legacy of Kain brought back some amazing memories!).

This may be a strange one, but I always liked the F.E.A.R OST. Thought it fit perfectly with the subject matter (i.e. getting scared sh*tless in between bouts of frantic bullet time slow mo).

Playlist below (can't seem to embed it).

The series should have ended here. There was nothing more that needed to be said. Incredibly prophetic.

As much as I wanted resolution in MGS4, it was never supposed to be resolved.

The Patriots being left as a sort of omnipresent collective, that in fact may be a figment of the imagination was tantalising.

Seeing Solid Snake here, was the best version of him, the pragmatism and hoper for the future. MGS4 left him broke and depressed

Mario Kart 8 might be but a young lad, but its music is a wonderful icing on a cake of sheer joy and exuberance. Case in point, its take on the Moo Moo Meadows theme. It's a song from the Wii game, but has been reorchestrated with such care and energy that it feels like a whole new composition. And it perfectly suits the mood and atmosphere of the gorgeous dusky interpretation of the track - at its best, MK8 manages this impeccable harmony between the music and visuals, and it's hard not to feel those goosebumps at moments when the care and artistry that has gone into the whole production really become apparent.

Most Nintendo games

The Oblivion OST (superior to Skyrim IMHO)

Deus Ex HR

XCom Enemy Unknown

Risk of Rain

Hotline Miami

Fable games has 10/10 music and voice acting

MGS

Halo

Fawk Nin · 04-07-2014 9:27am

Mario Galaxy games have a stunning soundtrack.

For me the Zelda games have the most memorable tracks, especially OOT and SS.

Loved the Halo 3 soundtrack also.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl deserved so much more recognition for it's soudtrack than it got.

My personal favourite of all time though has to be Metroid Prime. Perfection.

+1 for this I had that song stuck in my head for a week and it wasn't even annoying

I dunno if Tetris was already mentioned but if it hasn't...
I can't post youtube links from work but for anyone who hasn't heard it, it sounds something like this

Ni na na ni na na na na na Ni na na na na na na na na na naaa
Na, na Nii na na na na Ni na na na na na na na na na naaaa

Also, I vote for the soundtrack to Bit Trip Beat. It's class, at least the bits I've managed to actually hear.

Some great versions by the London Philharmonic on this:

It's also on Spotify if you prefer individual tracks. The Angry Birds one is worth a listen!

Grayditch · 04-07-2014 11:57am

This is literally my all time favourite piece of music from any game. I think I might do a cover of it, I absolutely love it.

chrislad · 04-07-2014 12:37pm

Most of the Final Fantasy stuff gets played a lot, particularly VIII and X. I love the piano versions also. Super Mario Galaxy has some great tunes, as does the 3DS Kid Icarus.

RobbingBandit · 05-07-2014 1:12am

Loved Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask soundtracks, Chrono Trigger for Frog's theme alone, Final Fantasy IV,VII,VIII and IX, Lunar Silver Star and Kingdom Hearts.
