Another soundtrack that I have really gotten into lately is the one for F-Zero GX. Dr. Stewart's Theme, in particular, is incredible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCBY4oF8vuc&fmt=18
After reading over the thread again, I'm going to take some time later on to check out the soundtracks for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Katamari Damacy, as they really got a lot of love here.

Halo 1,2,3, ODST (no one comes close to Marty in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Braid (fantastic choice of songs)
Bioshock (atmospheric accompaniment at its best)
Mass Effect (epic music but not at a Halo level)
Fifa Series (I know it shouldn't really count, but most of them have some delightful tunes)

In to mention the awesomeness of the shatter soundtrack.
I terms of recent releases, I found the Bayonetta soundtrack to be incredible and extremely unique. The work in the Kingdom Hearts series is always excellent, from the Utada theme songs to the epic arrangements of Disney classics. Classic FF is always hard to pass over as well, with FFVI's Dancing Mad remaining my favourite boss theme to this day.
I know this isn't exactly a single game soundtrack, but this is the BEST game music ever made. Let me link you to a few tracks.

Despite the heavy OoT references, this game includes some of the best unique compositional masterpieces of the Zelda series.
Pity that some of the exceptional pieces in TP weren't in the OST:
The Sages' Theme
Midna's Desperate Hour
Hidden Village
End Credits

Shadow of the Colossus OST is the only gaming soundtrack i've listened to a lot. Can't wait for The Last Guardian's (if Kō Ōtani returns).
5. WipEout
4. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
3. Xenogears (inc. Creid)
2. Final Fantasy VII (inc. Advent Children)
1. Diablo 2
Of course many others, but these are probably my favourite.

- Shatter is amazing all round
- Phoenix Wright series works magic with the music when cornering the criminals
- Homeworld left a huge mark with the Return to Kharak mission
(also, the launch)
- Some Zelda game. Ocarina of Time is my favorite but Majora's Mask is...
- Silent Hill 1-3 SO AMAZING ARHGAGA

If I'd give a shoutout to a Troika game it would be Arcanum for the period music, it didn't work too well at all times sadly. Bloodlines is good though, but maybe a bit too "moody" to stand out.Hasphat6462 said:
