Favourite game music composers

It takes a talented indivisual to capture thee player's attention with a game's musical score.

Here are some of my favourites:

Gerard Merino - God of War series

Jeremy Soule - Elder Scrolls/ Guild War series

Koji Kondo (Legend) - Super Mario Bros series/ The Legend of Zelda Series

Mark Motherbaugh - Crash Bandicoot series

Martin O'Donell - The old Halo games

Jasper Katten - Hitman/ Borderlands/ Old Assassin's Creed games

There's more but I'll leave it at that.

Note: The games assocciated with the relevant composers arent his only work, just the scores I liked from them.

Michiru Yamane - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, etc.

John Williams.

I don't know any, and neither should I.

Do people really read the credits at the end of a game?

Nothing touches Martin O'Donell and his style. Wonder why isn't he hired to produce quality for other companies? Did he retire or something? I saw his vids on youtube, and never understood why he isn't making new stuff.

Nobuo Uematsu is a legend.

Others:

Minako Hamano
