[Murray]

The Worms 1 theme song.
All Megaman games (personally I think Megaman 2 is the best)
All Final Fantasy games
All F-Zero games
Many Castlevania games (Symphony of the Night has the best)
All Command & Conquer games by Westwood. (That is, not Generals, because that is a game by EA that only wears the C&C tag, and since Frank Klepacki didn't make the music for that game, it sucks.)
ESP.Galuda
Golden Eye 007
Ikaruga
Metal Gear Solid
StarCraft

That's about all I can think of at this point.

[el Chi]

grim fandango

I love you.
So yeah, the best are:
Grim Fandango (it's called BigBands, Bebop &Bones - fan-f*cking-tastic!)
Deus Ex
Those are, to thebest of my knowledge, perfectly legal.
Vice City & San Andreas have got some gems on, but they're not original songs, so maybe that doesn't count.

 

[Jintor]

Psychonauts. Final Fantasy games. Deus Ex.

 

[Jangle]

Mafia's was awesome.

 

[el Chi]

Psychonauts. Final Fantasy games. Deus Ex.

I want Psychonauts. SO badly. BUt it's not out over here until next weeek. I mean what the HELL? Stupid Europe.
On second thoughts, stupid publishers.

If you havea cerdit card you can buy it for only 40,- signed by shafer himself.

In any case, for me it would be by a long shot the Silent hill series, especially all the Melissa Williamson(AKA Mary Elizabeth McGlynn).
Behind that the mgs series, I especially liked mgs3 SoT)

 

[Loke]

Freedom Fighters
Metal Gear Solid 2 (the definition of goosebumps)
Duke Nukem 3D
Unreal 1

 

[ricera10]

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Especially the Clock Town theme.

 

[Bob_Marley]

C&C Red Alert. Hell March. Its still the best pice of music and any game ever in my opinion.

 

[Combine Hybrid]

How the hell can you not mention the Final Fantasy series in a video game music thread?!

Because of FF musics suck...

Metal Gear Solid theme all the way...

Harry Greg William > all video game musics

 

[Mutley]

Little Big Adventure 1 (AKA Relentless)
Little Big Adventure 2 (AKA Twinsens Oddessy)

Those games rocked!

I can't belive no one mentioned:
Tetris
Super Mario

OH MY GOSH CHI I <3 U! I've been looking for deus ex music for a long time.

 

[Darkside55]

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts 2 may have the best soundtrack I've ever heard. Every single track is great, and perfectly fits every moment. It's actually the only game soundtrack I really listen to (as in, just regular listening...most other game songs I only listen to if nostalgia strikes me or something).

Other great game soundtracks:

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy
Soul Blade/Edge, Calibur
Sonic 2, Sonic CD

A lot of people mentioned Grim Fandango, sadly I can't remember any of the music from it. Thanks for the link, El Chi; I'm gonna have to listen to some of it.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

MGS
King Kong- Freakin' bootiful
The Thing- Creepy as Hell, and music by Saliva kinda kicked ass. ;(

Half - Life 2 could rival any orchestra imho... Hehe, hearing gunshots , Strider screams and combine chatter qualifies as music when it's all going on at once.

 

[JNightshade]

Oh damns! I totally forgot! Killer7 had a mindblowing soundtrack! Every song was catchy, cool, completely fitting, and totally memorable.

 

[houndeye]

QFG5: Dragonfire.

Emmy-award winning neo-classical composers FTW.

 

[JNightshade]

What the hell is QFG5?

 

[Vigilante]

Read my responses in the pervious 10 threads with the same topic.

 

[houndeye]

What the hell is QFG5?

Best I can find. It's the fifth installment of the series, with a soundtrack composed by Chance Thomas.

 

[ríomhaire]

GTA 1/3
Halo 1

 

[Spoonoop]

Battlefield 1942!
