top 3 for me

Bioshock
StarFox
Goldeneye 64

Pokemon Yellow

Lords of Magic, so far no other game listed here comes close to this one.

This thread was in "Legacy Platforms" and I found it pretty interesting.

1) Wipeout for PS1. I actually liked the soundtrack more then the game itself. It's the first game I remember to even have a licenced soundtrack, with the exception of "Make your own Crappola" Sega CD games.

2) GTA: Vice City aka VH1's I Heart the 80s. Managing to put Laura Branigan and Debbie Gibson in a video game about selling drugs

and stealing cars is just genius. They even threw a track (or 2?) from the Scarface soundtrack.

3) Final Fantasy 6. Pretty amazing what someone can do on cart.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT (and other warcraft games like wc3 roc tft etc.)

1) DOOM II (dark and blood-pumping, perfect for the atmosphere)

3) Heretic (See doom)

yeah mario and zelda definately im glad you mentioned them good choices

The Elder Scrolls series has some great music.

Occasionally the Morrowind theme runs through my head, but the Oblivion one was nice and epic too (reminds me of LOTR).

Although Jonathan Coulton's Still Alive from Portal definitely has the soft spot in the hearts of thousands :P

Super Mario Galaxy has epic music i even bought its OST from Play-Asia. You should also definitely hear Shadow of the Colossus OST for heavily EPIC music and Okami OST for beautiful ETHNIC (Japanese) music.

Examples:

i also love the Chrono series OST

if you're into great modern music TWEWY has great songs and lyrics too

Morrowind and Halo were pretty awsome soundtracks.I also really enjoyed Civilization 4 BT's music, very nice background stuff.

HL 2 had some sweet music at the perfect moments, Portal !!! and i looooveee the music from the battlefield series

Mafia had some absolutely brilliant music, especially when you entered Chinatown! Gta: Vice City, that was also superb, but then again if you don't love 80s music then maybe not.

Also, the Castlevania series; Dawn of Sorrow in my case, has some awesome traditional game music. Repetative only to the point that you remember it. It sits in the background like the pretty, quiet girl at school, and when you notice it, you remember why you liked it in the first place. Perfect.

Chrono Cross

Shadow of the Colossus

Starcraft

Diablo 2

Streets of Rage 2

Max Payne 2
