god of war series music is easily my favorite game music. It just sounds like blood, gore, war and the type of music for greek mythology.

Deadly premonition has a great sound track and the way they integrate it at the right time makes it that much better.

Saints row 3 soundtrack is my favourite game music and i also liked the dj remix of it in the 4th installment. Crysis 2 music is also good.

I got a long list of video game music that I like, so I'll just post a few of them here for you:

Tales of Xillia's Clenched Fist

Dangan Ronpa's Mr. Monobear/Monokuma-sensei's Extracurricular Lesson

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver's Kanto Gym Leader Battle

Fire Emblem Awakening's Id: Purpose

Fire Emblem Awakening's Mastermind

Disgaea 4's Noble Marble

And I'll leave it at that for now.

Classic jrpgs have my favorite music in video games. A lot of them have the "epic" orchesteral feel to them. WHen I'm working I will listen to them from playlists on youtube. Some of my favorites are "Top 50 world map themes" or "Top 100 ultimate rpg songs". Just search those if you want to hear a bunch from classic jrpgs. Also, I have been really into the Xenoblade Chronicles soundtrack... listening to it as I type this as a matter of fact :) My all time favorite soundtracks are Final Fantasy 7, Tales of Symphonia, Final Fantasy 6, and Xenoblade. Give 'em a listen if you get bored.

If we're talking about current gen, best is MW2's soundtrack. You're wrong if you think otherwise

 

Also World at War: Black Cats

i like the morrowind soundtrack but i don't like it as a score for the game. they tried fitting too little music into too many situations so there ends up being the same theme playing when you're boldly setting out on a quest as when you're surrounded by ancient spirits in a crypt. plus the main theme is too easily identifiable for something that gets played ambiently.

it's weird because i like the music itself in morrowind more, but i think the use of music in a game like sound shapes is used so much better that it becomes better video game music. the player adds to the music as they collect pickups and the enemies/ obstacles move to the rhythm of the music so you know how to get by them. closure is another one where i really like how the music is used.

I really enjoyed the music throughout Bioshock 2 it was a lot of violin and suited the mood so well.

Do you recall the beginning of Bioshock 2 where you in a submarine type of thing and being propelled to a building and those high notes, mmmm such suspense.

I may not play Star Ocean: TLH -International-, but I like the score behind it. Motoi Sakuraba. Also with the upcoming Tales of Xillia 2.

My avatar may give it away but you just can't get any better than the cyber-punk soundtrack of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. OST is a masterpiece:

L.A. Noire's main theme by Andy Hale is probably my favourite.

My favorites that I actively listen too everyday:

  • Kingdom Hearts collection
  • Megaman X and Zero games level and boss music
  • Final Fantasy

Note: If you want to try FF then I recommend FF:Dissidia as it has a collection of the best OSTs across all the FF games remastered and remixed.

Music that I really enjoyed in other games:

  • Fallout 3 (Has a 60s feel to it, even though I don't like that type of music I really enjoyed it in F3)
  • Phoenix Wright (Music turns pure epic when you're close to solving a case)
  • Sonic The Hedgehog (Even most recent games suck, the soundtrack has been consistently nothing short of awesome)
  • Yoshi's story (waaay back during the N64 era. Still one of the best, cutest and addictive tunes)
  • Devil May Cry (Killing devils and listening to epic heavy metal, nuff said)
  • Disgaea (I'm still new to it but I think its pretty cool so far)
  • Persona 3,4 (The music is just amazing in this series)
  • Burnout: Paradise (the music is the only thing that made me put up with this game)

Oh, I forgot to mention Beyond: Two Souls. The fantastic soundtrack, composed by Lorne Balfe and produced by Hans Zimmer.

Lots of people here mentioned lots of good music and OST's. I'm amazed that no-one mentioned Assassin's Creed's OST's, they are one of the best out there. I also like Dark Souls' OST's and the OST's of a game called Knytt Underground, its OST's are also free on the PSN.
