If I knew we would be discussing GoldenEye 007, I would have opened a separate thread.

I think the soundtrack in that game is a masterpiece, and I could probably fill a website with my thoughts about every track used in the game.


I'm not stopping you. Knock yourself out!

Since Mass Effect 3 is here, I'm throwing in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Seriously, listen to "Vigil" (1) and "Suicide Mission" (2, embedded). I like the first game's ambient tracks, while the second brought out the...war stuff. I need to expand my vocabulary.


Halo 4 shouldn't be discounted. It's different from the previous games, yeah, but i think it was appropriate for the new environment. More orchestral, with a sort of "mysterious new world" vibe so if you like that kinda stuff then Halo 4 is great to listen to. Anyway, here's "Arrival".


The Borderlands series is pretty cool, too; I'm more into the sequel's soundtrack. Here's "Dam Top" for almost 15 minutes long (I reached the embed limit). Feeling badass is just awesome, you know?

I went back to see if anyone had mentioned it yet. Well, dargonhuman did. SO WHAT?

Why no love for WCIII? They did a great live-orchestra version of one of the orc themes, "Echoes of the Past", and "Blockrock and Roll" is awesome, especially the last minute and a half.

I used to have WCIII and WoW on there too, but those OSTs didn't really resonate with me like SC or the first two WCs so when I had to make room for a 3-disc worship compilation they were the first to go.

That's tough . . . Skyrim always makes for good listening. I haven't run into a single social situation that couldn't be improved with a Norse chant of Dovakhin.




Pretty sure it counts as a war crime if you don't embed a video of that song after you mention it. I'll spare you a prison sentence this time, but only because you have decent taste in music. I also like Malukah's cover for when you have to be a bit more subtle and can't punch dragons (or random bystanders) in the face with your voice for whatever reason. Not that there should be anything to ever stop you from doing that.



As for myself, discounting the ones that haven't already been mentioned, I submit...Dead Island.


...coupled with the intro from Up, because I don't think you people spend enough time bawling your eyes out.

It goes without saying that pretty much any Final Fantasy game has at least one awesome OST but damn if Crisis Core had several million of them. I'll just post one though, since I think I might accidentally cry myself to death if I listen to the entire soundtrack looking for the best one.



I also have a few faves from flash games that are pretty amazing that I'll put up depending on how people feel.



EDIT: Ok, I know it's not from a game per se, but I don't know where else to slot this in, and it's too beautiful to let go to waste.

Final Fantasy X and Mass Effect 3. Though the latter is so soul-crushing that I usually end up crying in the shower for three hours afterwards.

For me, it's music from the Touhou series. They always seem to be able to set a tone, especially the stage themes.

Here's a few samples:



I do admit I like Megaman and Street fighter as well.

The soundtrack from the second video is beautiful. Very peaceful, I'm actually halfway through the video. Thanks for that.

Is it cheating to say Super Smash Bros Melee? They've got the best of every game, with some rocking orchestrated versions of the classics
