Video games have some pretty awesome music honestly. I'm quite fond of the Skyrim theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-_g8NZr1tA&list=RD02MriV_L0Hl5E

Skyrim - Far Horizons performed by the London Philharmonic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOzk_56gZk0&list=RD02MriV_L0Hl5E

Halo 3 - One Final Effort (this one is fun to drive to...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S68GmenFk2g

The London Philharmonic has two albums of video game music. it's really really awesome. They even have the Angry Birds theme on the first one, and it doesn't sound half bad in orchestral arrangement. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkVCquuqWwo

Oh boy, this thread was made for me :p

Far Cry 3: Amazing soundtrack by one Brian Tyler.

Far Cry 3- Main Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsbbGUKAq0M
This plays during a brutal hallucinatory boss fight, and marks the main characters decent into madness and savagery. Extremely calm and haunting for a stage of brutal, unrestrained violence.

Far Cry 3- Further http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9frEV-blDrY
An upsetting reprise of the Far Cry 3 theme that plays during the "good ending" (which is horribly tragic funnily enough)

Far Cry 3- Fever Dream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RRtkRBo20o
If you pay attention as the game progresses, the ambient music becomes a lot more electronic and unhinged, which probably represents the main character's increasingly twisted, fractured state of mind. This is my fave of them all..gotta love those menacing, animalistic synth growls and roars!



Silent Hill 2 by Akira Yamaoka

Theme of Loura (main theme)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LB7LZZGpkw
Such a lovely haunting piece of music that fits into the Silent Hill universe perfectly. Possibly my most favourite piece of VGM of all time. Still gives me shivers.

Theme of Loura (reprise)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JozVfR-XavQ
Plays when Angela gives in to her demons and takes her life by walking into a blazing fire. Haunting stuff.

Angel's Thanatos- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbW8KBZguDM
Not sure which ending this plays on, one of the bad ones I think..but I love that angry guitar and that menacing riff that rolls in a third of the way through. Makes me wanna go postal >:]

Prisonic Fairytale- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk-3uAkcPXQ
Spooky, peaceful ambient backing track with some oddly disturbing chord changes

Silent Hill 3 by Akira Yamaoka

You're Not Here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCktKqHBGQ
A lovely, memorable main theme thats so much fun to sing along to omfg

Dance With Night Wind- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT8pfNCYOow
Cool moody stuff, not fitting with the scene it plays in..but it somehow works

Tomb Raider 2 By Nathan McCree

Main Theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRmAxlieOnE
Who doesn't have fond memories of this? fyi i love the whole soundtrack but it's too extensive to post here x3

Tomb Raider (origins of lara croft) by..not sure :hmm:

Main Theme- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_76AaWVQXE
Too epic not to love, suits the game and the character perfectly

Duke Nukem Forever by Lee Jackson
Grabbag PhoMastered http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGkV-YZDSy4

Badaass :D


Metal Gear Solid by Kazuki Muraoka

Duel- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc0fDGVQtJk
THE boss battle theme of boss battle themes!!

Alert- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DebmlHgAvko
If I ever get caught being somewhere I shouldn't be, this plays in my head :lol

The Best Is Yet To Come- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6miaTf1gF4g
You don't need english to move people. Recurring theme throughout the game, lovely stuff, beautiful fiddle solo.

Metal Gear Solid 2 by Harry Gregson Williams

Main Theme- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiPon8lr48U
I guarantee this will make anyone feel heroic. I love it so much I did a remix for my own personal listening.

Killing Time by Rob Vieria/Larry Reed/Toot Sweet Jazz Band

Time Trapped Isle- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIZEzFBbF9E
You have to play this epic game to get how great this is :lol:

Duke Nukem: Time To Kill by Various (example is Stabbing Westward

The Thing I Hate- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLgQvLp0_Jo
JUST. WATCH. It's so damn epic!

Populous: The Beginning by Mark 'TDK' Knight

ENTIRE OST- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs02P3Rhd0U

Alone In The Dark 2: jack is Back by Jean-luc Escalant

Risk of Rain recently came out on Playstation, so I've been obsessed with it!
Love all the songs in that game, although I think I prefer this one :p

I dedicate this song to Satoru Iwata, whenever I cried looking at the rainbow, I saw his glimpse racing at the Rainbow Road to Heaven.
