The title says it all.

I would have to say that Crysis, Halo and Republic Commando would have to be my top three. Halo was EPIC, I have listened to all of the songs from all three games WAAAYYY to many times. I am still tracking down the Crysis soundtrack but there are some pretty awesome compositions in that game. RC was pure awesomeness, no more need be said.

Weird, yesterday I had this strange feeling that someone was going to create a thread about this topic soon, seriously.

I even searched for my favorite game soundtracks at youtube and bookmarked them.

Ace Combat 2 has some awesome Top Gun inspired music, examples:

Tekken 3:

And Half-Life 2 rarely has any music whatsoever, but at the times it shows up, it is very fitting and sets the mood for the action sequences:

What can I say? I like fast paced music. Anyway, those are some of my favorite game soundtracks.

Age of Empires, if we discount games that use movie soundtracks.

Warcraft 3

EDIT: Gothic, Gothic 2 - Night of the Raven

I'll just go ahead and say Orange Box, as there is an official soundtrack.

I'd also say that the Metroid games, (specifically the Prime ones) have stunning soundtracks. They really draw you in.

And finally, Super Mario Galaxy. I mean, the music was epic.

I'll second that.

This is more of a media-type thread so I'm going to go ahead and move it into that forum.

Crysis has a great soundtrack, and so does SMG. I also think SSBB has an awesome soundtrack, just because it basically took the best from a number of the greatest Nintendo games. On that note, I think any of the Zelda Games have great soundtracks.

Also added to the fact that the music composed specifically for SSBB was craploads of win as well (Final Destination, anyone?)

But yes, I'd say
Crysis
Halo Series (Halo 3 the most, considering that they actually used a real orchestra this time)
SSBB
Super Mario Bros. (original)
Metal Gear Solid Series (Hands down, please)

homeworld (its the only game music cd ive ever rocked outside of a game)
crayon physics deluxe (cool mellow ambient music)
everquest 1 theme song (only because I played it for so many years)

Never play half of my games with the music on, iTunes FTW. But the games I do love the music to (that I know the music to):
LoZ Series
SSBB
Halo Series
The Force Unleashed
I also kind of liked Combat Arms' music. And although I don't have enough RAM (-_-') to play Crysis with iTunes, I never really noticed its music in anything other that the Crysis Wars trailer.

Well you are really missing out, you may have your music sound turned down to low, or just concentrating to much on what's happening in the game (not that there is anything wrong with that mind) Look some Crysis tunes on YouTube and you should be able to find some of the songs.

What SSBB??

Super Smash Bros Brawl

MORTAL KOMBAT dodo dodo dodo dodo dododo..

Assassins Creed: pretty Medieval/Oriental Music
Bioshock:sweet 1920s -1930s + great Orchestal Sound
Bionic Commado Main Theme (only the Orchestral Music not the Techno based Stuff)
CoD always makes nice Soundtacks
Crysis/Warhead:well done

I could give away the OST to AC1 ad BS.
In the Past these where downloadable from Ubisoft and 2k Sites (for registred Members).So its wouldnt ben illegal to share them.

it sounds funny but i actually liked the music from advance wars dual strike lol xD
oh don't forget battlefield heroes, gotta love that main theme
oh and another handheld game, s.s.saga had great music.
umm 1942 has some pretty nice music also.

SSBB, LoZ, Metroid, and KOTOR 1 all have great soundtracks. Claw also had some good music, too. (Am I the only one here who knows what Claw is?)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned any of the Final Fantasies yet. They're up there with the AoE series.

Why didn't you mention it the first time you posted?

I specially like FFVIII soundtrack, the Dollet Landing music is great, FFX is pretty good too.

Legend of Zelda Series (AMAZING)
Super Smash Bros Brawl (Great compilations + new songs)
Super Mario Galaxy and the rest of the Super Mario series (You can't not like Mario music)

I can't think of anymore ATM.

Call of Duty 4 (which I recall will be carried over to MW2)
Metal Gear Solid 4
Ace Combat 5 and 0
