What's your favorite video game song/soundtrack?

[Hiemal]

I've been searching long for the perfect soundtrack.

I absolutely love games where the music actually flows with what's happening on the screen, where the notes fill your mind and make you feel an emotion.

Like, in Gears of War 2, the main theme "Hope Runs Deep" feels dark and scary. Very much like the game itself.

Or the Main Menu theme for Halo 2; It sounds hopeful. We're pinning our hopes on one bada$$ guy here, so it seems quite fitting.

Or, in Skyrim, "Dragonborn" makes me feel like I'm about to go head to head with a dragon. It literally makes me want to get up, rip my shirt off and stab someone through the chest for threatening my family and my home >:U

List a song, or a soundtrack, and gimme a reason why you love it.

Chiptunes or GTFO. Megaman games have the best music.

First it was this..

Followed by this...

...played through my MTX Pro 12 box at 1000W that changed my life forever.

Reasons: First high tech video game I bought. Ultra violence, murdering monsters, BFG, human skinned walls with pentagrams carved in them, satanic blood fest, ramming the chainsaw up the little butt hole of the floating orange monster while he ran away. Nuff said.

There has only ever been one game which has imprinted itself on me so thoroughly and heavily that YEARS after I stopped playing I still wish to play it again. The music still sends shivers down my spine. I spent nearly three years on this game and only left it when the server went defunct.

I still remember every zone, every raid boss, every quest hub. Some nights I dream of the landscape. Memories of it now now bring both fondness and intense sehnsucht.

Liberi Fatalli.

I've always loved the choral and orchestral mixture.

Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec

Wake up from your sleep, my children
Your childhood years are gone
Wake from your sleep, Fated Children
Your slumber is over

Arise
Search

Come to the Garden of Truth
The Spring of the Garden of Truth

With the Fiery Truth
Burn away the Evils of the World
With the Fiery Truth
Light the Darkness of the World

Be strong, Children
On the Fated Days

Fithos lusec wecos vinosec
Fithos lusec wecos vinosec
Fithos lusec wecos vinosec
Fithos lusec wecos vinosec

Lase

The best rock beginning to a game ever. ---->Full Throttle - Opening Song - YouTube

get a good set of speakers, pump up the base while playing it makes gaming so much better. especially the classics.

Mirrors edge has a very good theme song:

For the rest anything unreal tournament is almost directly good.
