I really liked God of War soundtrack, from all three games, they're just super awesome. Same goes for Crysis 2. And, lately, I've listened to Skyrim theme song which is also very beautiful.

And for you, what is the best video game soundtrack?

Killzone has an amazing instrumental musical score, the whole Metal Gear Solid series, from what i can remember from the PS2 era armored core, the old school FF games and chrono trigger.

I am not one to appreciate soundtracks, but one that I actually listen to is the one to Bastion.

I already did this thread like a week or so ago :(

Anyways I said Homeworld, but let me revise that to either Bastion or Halo 3 ODST.

All time? Planescape: Torment. Deionarra's theme wipes the floor with any musician's face.

This gen? Ehh, I wouldn't know.

I remember the music in Infamous 2 was excellent, but very rarely used.

One of my few complaints about the game.

Recently, DX:HR, Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3, Frozen Synapse and Bastion stand out. My favourite of all time is either Deus Ex (the original), or Half-Life, although certainly with the latter I'm not entirely sure why.

There are a ton of great soundtracks in gaming, and I have recently discovered just how incredible Silent Hill is in that department. But if I had to choose one definitive game, probably Ocarina of Time. Not my favorite Zelda game but probably my favorite soundtrack. (Although looking back it seems Wind waker is slowly dominating OoT for me.)

Mass Effect 2's soundtrack is my favorite, although ME3 might take this spot.
.
The ME franchise as a whole has an amazing soundtrack.

I see a lot of Uncharted, Metal Gear, Halo and Final Fantasy. Don't get me wrong amazing soundtracks but even all of those games combined can not even hold a candle to the SMT series. Shoji Meguro is the God of music and quite easily the greatest composer in any form of media. You guys seriously need to check these out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxhfJGkQD7E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it7kfQJTKKY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNgOJESw3RA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B274jFa5hxY This is just a very small taste of his amazing talents. Also how did no one mention Silent Hill :P

I really loved Halo:ODST's soundtrack. The sense of melancholy, despair, and isolation that is brought on from the music during the Rookie sequences are spectacular. I also loved MGS1 and MGS3 for their soundtracks. That "Snake Eater" opening song is awesomesauce. I almost want to included Uncharted, but the music was never very memorable for me. I'm also a sucker for Chrono Trigger and FFVII. Both exceptional soundtracks. The music made those games great for me in a lot of ways.

Exactly the same for me,sofreakinggood!

Such a shame that DX HR didn´t really had any memorable songs like the first game. :(

DXHR's soundtrack is still great - freakin amazing, actually - but it does mostly comprise of ambient, background-y sort of music, as opposed to DX1's more melodic style, it doesn't really have any memorable individual songs in the way that the first game did, other than the Icarus theme. I'm personally fine with that, but, well, different strokes for different folks. You would most likely love Frozen Synapse's soundtrack, very much in the style of DXHR's but less ambient, also absolutely fantastic.

HALO 2 o mi gawd it gives me chills. Halo ODST had some good scores too.

But the first ASSASSINS CREED was probably my fav.
