I like some of the early Mega Man games' soundtracks.

Old school Castlevania games.

Metal Gear series...my cell ringtone is actually the codec ringtone.

All of the GTA III era games, with the exception of the Stories' games. I didn't like the soundtrack of GTA IV, but then again, I didn't like that game all around.

I still remember singing White Wedding while coasting along in one of the many cars in San Andreas.

It's the only video game soundtrack I had a desire to listen to more than once. It's great on its own and fits incredibly well with the game.

The Mega Man soundtracks were classic - esp. MM 2.

Make that just about any Nintendo cornerstone release. They have a real keen eye for memorable scores over there. I love how they sound on piano too:

Speaking of piano, one of my first games was Tetris on the Gameboy. They were audacious enough to simply use Bach as their soundtrack:

The sound track for SSX is amazing. I'm not a huge dubstep fan but it fits the game so well. There's also a lot of Indie style rock.

Tetris had an awesome soundtrack overall :oldlol: I was at a sucky hip hop party a while back and at some point a new DJ came out and played the Tetris theme, the whole crowd was singing along with the tune and when the beat dropped (dubstep) everybody went crazy :oldlol: brought some life into the party. I believe it was this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tioCNNfq48

It's funny how different a song will sound through the TV versus when it's in full stereo or playing through headphones. It's usually a lot of layers of instruments or subtle sounds that you realize you were missing out on.

Red Dead, the GTA Series, and The Last of Us were the first to come to mind.

Although I really love the old 8 bit sounds. The original Zelda underworld music is my ringtone, and the sound from when you find a secret is my notification.

I eventually turn off the sound on all my games because it gets too repetitive by like the second hour and I would rather have the tv on or some music, but I was playing Braid the other day with my headphones and it was pretty relaxing. And I enjoyed the use of music in Spec Ops. Also Vice City, tho I'm a sucker for 80s music.

Wow! That Ocarino of Time shit was just music to my ears. Just wish the songs were longer.

I'm gonna have to check out some of these suggestion in the thread. Never knew video game music had it like this.

lots of good ones mentioned already. Elder Scrolls games usually have really good music. Oblivion probably my favourite. FF7 another classic.

@Toizumi that NBA LIVE 2000 soundtrack brings me back. One of the greatest sports games intros as well.

Really liked the music from basically all of the Mass Effect series and Assassin's Creed series. The radio stations for GTA are always really fun too and the song in 5 where Michael is tripping balls and you get to skydive was awesome.
