Do you listen to video game soundtracks?

^^question

There are a few games with good soundtracks. I would like to be able to keep the sounds so I could listen to them in a later time.

I have some metal gear solid and other video game stuff on my mp3 usually listen to it at work.

Oblivion, Aion, and Metal Gear Solid are some of my fav. OST.

Command and Conquer: Red Alert OST

and

007 Goldeneye OST and now Goldeneye: Source OST

I've become a fan of certain game soundtracks, including Myst III: Exile, and Mass Effect, both by the incredible Jack Wall. The most recent one I've loved is the soundtrack to Machinarium. Really fantastic; excellent compliment to the game. Definitely worth looking around for great soundtracks.

No they just aren't as good as real music.ocstew

All the time. My playlist is nothing but video game music and remixes from OCremix. And I do get many raised eyebrows when people ask "What do I listen to", but I do the same when they list their favorite genres. ;).

Mass Effect
Need For Speed: High Stakes
Half-Life 1 & 2
Lumines (probably my favorite soundtrack & the only 1 I listen to more often)
Machinarium
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Fully orchestrated pieces with varying paces, varied instrumentation and even choral additions. That is real music and it has been for hundreds of years.

Yup, I like listening to them while I work since I need that sort of music to get my imagination flowing.

Ones I hear are Modern Warfare 2 (Hans Zimmer ftw), Assassin's Creed 2, Starcraft 2, Mass Effect and Mafia 2.

I have listened to the soundtracks from Vampire the masquerade : Bloodlines, the Silent Hill series and Bioshock.

Yes, DiRT 2's soundtrack has some goody music.

not necessarily soundtracks, but the two things I love listening to (not PC) are the Hyrule Symphony "album", and the song Crystal Flash, by Virt. Crystal Flash is an awesome mix of Metroid music that this guy made. Heres a link to a youtube vid of it (the guy split it into two vids).

Also I love Diablo's Tristram music, some of C and C's music, especially Hell March, and Goldeneyes music.

I will look at everyones suggestions and take them into account :). I found some soundtracks to be very boring, but some like the ones I listed above are just amazing IMO.

Only soundtrack I ever bothered downloading and listening to was Homeworld's. Such great ambient music.

Of course I:

Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
Oblivion
Morrowind
Heroes of Might and Magic III-V
Might and Magicks
Guild Wars
WoW
Rise of Nations

and a lot more

Definitely! In fact, I recently bought the soundtrack to VVVVVV, which is unbelievably catchy.

Other soundtracks I regularly enjoy (and recommend):

- Castle Crashers

- Tribes 2

- Quake 2

- Unreal Tournament '99

- Bejeweled Twist

- Full Throttle (soundtrack by The Gone Jackals)

And anything else that catches my ear!

only if it's really good

like : GOW trilogy and DMC

I care about soundtracks of a game but I don't listen them while I'm not playing the game.

- Final Fantasy 7

- Silent Hill

Nope, I typically don't even listen to the soundtrack while I play the game. Turning off the music is usually one of the first things I do when I begin a new game.

No, i dont like soundtracks, i like them in game, but never by themself.

I listen to music 60% of the day everyday, but i find music made to be just music and not for a specific purpose or for something to be better. Unless its rap...then i hate it no matter what.

Sometimes, needs to be really good though, something like Mass Effect 2 soundtracks.

my life is music, so yes some OST's i really love (check my lastfm), i also like some film OST's.

yeah , the totally gayisch streetfighter 4 soundtrack "indestructable" is the best while working out.

Every once in a while ill get a song or two off a soundtrack but not very often. Some of the music in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood was creeping me out late last night hahaha
