Video Game Music?

Post Reply New Topic

Anybody else really enjoy video game music? It's one of the things that makes the gaming experience special to me. Gets me sucked into the game world and puts me in a peaceful state of mind. What are some of your favorite video game related tunes?

Legend of Zelda music puts me in a good mood. I also like the music in the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Skyrim. It reminds me of LOTR.

Legend Of Zelda music is amazing, I actually went and saw the nintendo symphony orchestra preform zelda music live back in July. It was a wonderful experience.

LOVE video game music.
Especially the music from the Ecco the Dolphin Genesis games.
And Zelda.
Heck even Pokemon.
And Mario.
Video game music is the best.

I bathe in videogame music. Honestly.

If pressed, I'd probably say my favourite videogame scores would be... Halo: Reach's, the whole the Kirby games, anything by Grant Kirkhope, anything Harry Gregson-Williams has a hand in, and the Rayman Origins soundtrack, which could quite possibly be the best thing, ever. That's not hyperbole. That's just, like, straight-up fact*.

*it is hyperbole actually

Video game soundtracks are some of the best music for me. Never mind that I find games to be the best form of art altogether. Here are some that I've found to be my favorite overall:

NieR
Okami
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Zelda: The Wind Waker
Zelda: Skyward Sword
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 6
Killer7
No More Heroes
Shadows of the Damned
Shadow of the Colossus
Earthbound
Mother 3
Banjo-Tooie
Super Mario Galaxy

Every time I play a game or watch someone play a game and I hear a song I like from that particular game, I always search it up on YouTube to see if someone has it then add it to favorites. On my YouTube Channel MrIAMNOTANOOB, I have a playlist dedicated to the music in the 3D Sonic games. There are so many good songs in those games that they deserve their own playlist. Ninety-eight handpicked songs from Sonic Adventure to Sonic Generations. You can help contribute if I overlooked any songs that deserve to be in the playlist. I even started uploading Videogame music myself. So far I have Destruction Derby 64 and Iridion 3D. I'm working on Iridion II next.

I'm a huge Video Game music fan, particularly retro games. Some of my favourites are:
NES
Ninja Gaiden
Castlevania 3
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project

SNES
Super Castlevania 4
TMNT 4: Turtles in Time
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

SNES was the best system when It came towards music. Donkey kong country 2's soundtrack is just a classic. I'm actually on a hunt for a physical copy of it now XD.

Game music really is necessary for me to make the experience complete, games that had great soundtracks are games that will forever stay in my mind. These are some of my favorites:

Dear Esther, this is a movie like game with beautiful calm piano music:
Jakkobson
First level soundtrack
Golden Ratio
I have begun my ascent

World of Warcraft:
Durotar
Elwynn Forest
Shalandis Isle

Lord of the Rings Online:
Archet theme
Inn theme

Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Really cool action music):
MEC Theme 02, 04, 05 and 06
PLA Theme 03, 04, 06

Yes and this topic keeps coming up. My favorite music from a video game is from Donkey Kong Country for the SNES. My second favorite is from Wolfenstein 3d for the Atari Jaguar which contains spiced up renditions of the music from the PC version.

The majority of my iTunes library is composed of video game soundtracks.

Route 1 Theme from Red and Blue immediately popped into my head when seeing the thread title.

Say what you will about Call of Duty's gameplay, there are some real gems hiding in the soundtrack. The Elder Scrolls has always had solid music too, particularly Oblivion. Watchman's Ease is pretty much my de facto mood calmer. Pretty much every Sonic game ever created has been stellar with music. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault had a brilliant soundtrack (one of the few I own on CD) and oh, better stop gushing...one more game...SimCity 3000. Bite me.
