93 System Shock 2

I´m satisfied

Edit: But no FFXIV:ARR ? That is a crime ! Soundtrack is one of the best in the whole industry

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Ctrl+F "Super Mario Galaxy"
.

wut

 

[OnPoint]

I mean, it's an interesting list. The points it gets for having Ecco 2 it loses for not having any classic Castlevanias. I don't agree with it but how could you ever agree with something so subjective unless you wrote it?

 

[PezDispenser]

Very cool to see Secret of Evermore on there, it's great and often overlooked

 

[Megalosaro]

Dragon Quest being represented by viii is disappointing.

 

[K.Sabot]

Heheheh, nah.

 

[reKon]

This is probably the worst top 100 gaming related list I've ever seen lol.

Out of all sound tracks, how can you leave out Final Fantasy X and fucking Super Mario Galaxy. SMGs blows Super Mario 64s out of the water

 

[Toxi]

Portal being in the top 10 baffles me. Does anyone actually remember any music in that game outside of Still Alive?

 

[Meia]

Absolutely no Shoji Meguro ANYTHING invalidates the list. :|

 

[gift of 100 gab]

This made me listen to the CMI soundtrack again, so I'm pleased. So gooooood

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

No Shoji Meguro (SMT/Persona). No Noriyuki Iwadare (Lunar/Grandia). I don't think there's any Sakimoto (FFT, BoFQ, Vagrant Story) either.

 

[K.Sabot]

It's definitely a list made from ignorance, very little in terms of digging outside the surface level of games that were popular.

 

[Evilisk]

Besides some very obvious omissions (that always happens in these type of lists), they really shoulda gone with SSF2 (because vanilla SF2 does not have Cammy's theme which is the GOAT SF track)

I like Parappa being included on here though

 

[Jazzkokehead]

I went back and looked again, and not only does this list not have Max Payne 3, there's also no sign of Hotline Miami.

How hard can you fail?

Portal being in the top 10 baffles me. Does anyone actually remember any music in that game outside of Still Alive?

Yes. I love ambient music, so I think the original Portal actually has a pretty great soundtrack.

 

[Tye The Czar]

I think GAF needs to their own annual top music list like Japan has.
http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2011/05/japans-top-700-video-game-music-of-all.html?m=1

HG101 even did their own.

But I think we should do overall soundtracks.

 

[Browny]

Where's my Frank Klepacki C&C themes? I still have the original on CD in my car for nostalgic purposes.

 

[Slackerchan]

The lack of any Ace Combat soundtrack on this list leaves me sad.

 

[Wabba]

Dont know why people are bashing on The Last of Us soundtrack. Its one of the finest soundtracks i have heard in the latest years, defently deserves to be high up on the list.
The biggest shock for me was that Skyrim was nowhere to be found.

 

[Colonel_Hapablap]

I definitely do not agree with this list, but I found myself playing some of the music to hear how good it is.

Also, The Neverhood brings me back in the best of ways.

 

[Timeaisis]

lol no FFIX

ok

 

[Floridian]

No Super Mario Galaxy makes this list invalid.

 

[DecoyOctopus]

Mega Man 2 on 4th place but no Mega Man 3?!

 

[flozuki]

No Super Mario Galaxy makes this list invalid.

Seriously, where is my Galaxy :-( ? At least Shenmue got some love :-D

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

No Halo 3: ODST is downright fucking criminal.

 

[TheXbox]

No ODST, no respect.

 

[SeanTSC]

No Vice City = NOPE. GTA Vice City's OST is so ridiculously perfect.

 

[Widge]

I'm not down with licensed soundtracks. Things like Nidhogg, Fez, Hohokum - where they work in partnership with artists - is more viable.

 

[QuantumZebra]

No Final Fantasy X

yep this list failed out the gate

 

[Zombegoast]

games that Shoji Meguro composed are missing.

 

[Red Mage]

No Suikoden II? No Valkyrie Profile? Really?

 

[beta_fuse]

This list is shit. No Hotline Miami, Transistor, Tropical Freeze or Mario Kart 8 means I can't take it seriously.

 

[Tawpgun]

Halo, Fez, Bastion being so high up in that list is fucking criminal.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Glad to see Red Dead Redemption in the top 10. Though no Ace Combat on there at all is a bit disappointing.

 

[thelatestmodel]

No Vice City = NOPE. GTA Vice City's OST is so ridiculously perfect.

GTA soundtracks do not count as they are assembled from real-world music and not composed for the game itself.


Missing:
Mirror's Edge
Hotline Miami
Deus Ex
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Bemani games
The Dig
World of Warcraft
Valkyrie Profile 1 & 2

Arguably shouldn't be there:
Leisure Suit Larry
McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure
Ecco
Twinworld
Binding of Isaac (come on, I love it but the music isn't a highlight)
Police Quest 3
Altered Beast
Time Crisis

 

[The Scrivener]

Can't take this seriously if it has "96 McDonald’s Treasure Land Adventure" in it. I mean I haven't listened to that, but no thanks.

 

[BeforeU]

Thats one pretty shit fact list.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Composer has two Oscars and two Grammys. Enough said.

Grammys lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

Mitsuda, Matsumae, and Koshiro in the top 10. Cool.

And happy to see Katamari represent in the top 10 as well.

 

[MicH]

Oh my god, that is a terrible list. No Super Mario Galaxy? No Xenoblade?!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Control + F: Mario Galaxy

...

Control + F: Smash Bros Melee

...

 

[Fbh]

Chrono Cross isn't number 1 so the list is automatically wrong.

Also no Mario Galaxy? No Nier? No Kid Icarus Uprising?. If it's a top 100 I'd also add Lair

Portal is in the top 10? I seriously can't remember a single track of that soundtrack other than the cake song at the end

 

[crimzonflame]

Street Fighter 2 should be top 5

 

[jett]

Really strange position for ICO, it barely has any music.

 

[Widge]

It's definitely a list made from ignorance, very little in terms of digging outside the surface level of games that were popular.

I'm not sure I agree, I liked the inclusion of Amiga titles, more obscure 8bit curios. Essentially it is the collation of 3 guys opinions but it is lovely to see games given a platform in a publication like this.

 

[jett]

Not a single C64 game.

This list is factually terrible.

 

[Boogybro]

ICO at number one? Now there's a surprise choice. I like it though.

Hey, I like ICO as much as the next guy, but #1 soundtrack of all time does not it have.

 

[Duffman]

TLoU being #3 is a joke.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

No Nier or Xenoblade?
That's just silly.

 

[Fiercedeity]

Nvm I'm dumb, chrono cross should be higher though

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

No love for final fantasy 8? Criminal.

And the complete omission of FF Tactics.
