Favorite video game soundtrack?

Now here is a topic that doesn't get discussed much. Everyone is usually all about the gameplay and the visuals and the controls. Personally, I think an okay game with great music beats out a good game with okay music. Obviously a great game consists of all those aspects. Does anyone else here have a soundtrack from a game that was so bad ass that it warranted space on your hdd/mp3 player? Personally, I have always been in love with the soundtrack from "The Shadow of Colossus". That game was just absolutely beautiful in all respects.
 
My favorite video game sound track is from Final Fantasy 6. I got a CD of the original Super NES music and another CD where a real orchestra does the music. Both are great. I never get tired of those classic tunes.

Ah, Final Fantasy before Nobou Uematsu left. Final Fantasy 6 was a lot of people's favorite one. That one and Final Fantasy 4 are always in close contention with each other.
 
Silent Hill 2! Akira Yamaoka is amazing. Hitman's Jesper Kyd is aswell. Two of the most original and moving video game soundtrack composers.
 
Sadly this thread will still somehow survive as if it never copied the original.

Really like the Halo soundtrack, especially as Steve Vai got on board for it for the second installation :)

Anyone have an Amiga computer back in the 90's too? there were some great soundtracks for some of the games....Turrican & Shadow of the Beast & stuff like that...very nostalgic! :D

Nice collection.
 
If you like video game music, you should definitely check out OverClocked Remixes' website OCRemix.org. They do their own albums in addition to remixing single tracks.

In fact they were commissioned by Capcom to do the soundtrack for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix because Capcom heard their album Blood on the Asphalt: Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
