Sweet! Someone besides me who recognises that genius that is Akira Yamaoka :D

Mass Effect series and FF7. Also always loved the soundtrack for most Zelda games

Halo and Mass Effect.

The original Homeworld also had some incredible music.

Some of my favorite music (besides the Lord of the Rings) is from the Mario & Luigi games. They're all the Final Boss themes.

Superstar Saga's Final Boss

Partners In Time Final Boss

Partenrs In Time Bowser Battle

Bowser's Inside Story Final Boss

Super Smash Brothers Brawl comes to mind. Also Portal.

MGS4

Chrono.

Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid comes right to mind when it comes to best soundtracks for video game.

Rock Band, especially The Beatles: Rock Band.

Metal Gear Solid

Silent HIll

and ummmm God OF War has a pretty Epic Soundtrack aswell

Metroid. Hands down.

Super Metroid - Lower Norfair
Super Metroid - Maridia (Swampy Caverns)
Metroid Prime - Title Theme
Metroid Prime - Phendrana Drifts
Metroid Prime - Wrecked Frigate
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Torvus Bog

Do you know what a franchise is? :S

I always enjoy these types of threads.

I don't...HAVE to provide examples do I? D: Too many links.siLVURcross

You should make a list of links and save them somewhere already XD. Everytime I see you in one of these threads, you post them in the hundreds.

I don't have a favorite soundtrack(the industry is just too diverse for that) and I wouldn't have the patience to post many of the soundtracks I enjoyed throughout it. Something a little more recent that I've enjoyed...

I liked Assassin's Creed 2 for example:

Demons Souls soundtrack was so eary and suited the game perfectly... infact it was too well done...

Elder Scrolls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3kV1QqQIDM

This is just as good though.

Rock Band, especially The Beatles: Rock Band.

Half-Life Franchise:

Adrenaline Horror

Klaxon Beat

Half-Life 2

i'm disappointed with the lack of Shadow of the Colossus in this thread... so i'll throw some pics to draw attention.

TBH, I have always loved Metroid's music. The music just always fit in so well.

YAY! ^.^b

FF, MGS and this...

This is not counting licence games like LotR and Star Wars.

Brawl is epic (the main theme song) Halo is pretty awesome too AOE series has had pretty good soundtracks as well I would say civlization series but they are to repetitive (its just teh same track on loop depending on age and war status) so whilst it stats of epic as it just dies.

Halo

- Never Forget

- One Final Effort

- Rain

- Spirit of Fire

Bioshock

- Welcome to Rapture

Plants vs Zombies

- Minigame

- Roof

Blazblue

- Bullet Dance

I have not played MGS so I don't know any of their soundtracks.
