From my favorites, I include a good portion of the Civilization IV (+ expansion packs) soundtrack. One of them is "Baba Yetu" If you wanna listen to it, visit these URLs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fY0abDtuIU&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJmJ6Orq2E0&feature=related

Other songs I like are in the "Jak X: Combat Racing" soundtrack, and many of the songs appearing in "Super Smash Bros. BRAWL" (belonging to their respective videogames).

Gotta love the Super Mario Theme Song! The many similar-but-different pokemon battle songs never get old. I still find myself humming that song from Pokemon when the old man gives you tours and your character follows him around the place! The various orchestral sounds of games like Gears of War and Halo almost never get old. Just fire them up and then feel unstoppable

Donkey Kong Country 1-3 is superb. Mega Man 2 specifically is a stunner. But these are slightly more boop and beep (DK is synthesizer heavy but whatever). More sophisticated music that enjoy is the Oblivion soundtrack and the Halo games. A very full orchestra. If we move back a little bit into the late 90's I give props to the MGS soundtrack.

there are many games that slip my mind but there are some nice people who post videogame music like it was their job on Youtube and many times I'll remember the game music from seeing one of their videos. I watch the users Garudoh and SupraDarky.

One song most people don't know is Betrayal from Silent Hill 2. It carries a great mood of soul crushing depression, which really works for the game.

My all time favorite currently is Baba Yetu by Christopher Tin off of the Civilization IV soundtrack. If you happen to have the game and are wondering what song I'm talking about it is the song you hear at the original main menu. The expansions replaced it with something else. The current runner-up is Fun & Mini-games off of the Beyond Good and Evil soundtrack. In game it can be heard during the third race track.

It happens that one of the songs that I mentioned is "Baba Yetu". You should have noticed that (unless you only reply to topics based on the title), I even posted 2 URLs to 2 versions of the song!

I love the Bad Girl theme. Still Alive gives off way too much of a Linkin Park vibe for me .

i may sound like a tard, and most will probably dissagree, but i thought the gears 2 music was epic, obviously not as a song on its own though, otherwise, portals, or parhaps you have to burn the rope

I don't really remember the music that much but the sound effects are godly in that game. I like how when you clear out a room there's that guitar sound to let you know. That whole game was very high production of course.

I think my favorite song in any game is Battery by Metallica :P. But aside from rhythm game songs, I'd say either Peace Sells by Megadeth in Vice City or Liberate by Disturbed from Tony Hawk's Underground 2. Besides real songs, the River Belle Pass track from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

The Oblivion soundtrack is a masterpiece and fits into the game very well. It never gets too old and does not feel overplayed.

Oh how I hate that song. The women singing it makes me want to smash my head and rake my ear drums.
