I enjoy both off Portals ending songs 'Still Alive' and 'Want you gone'. Both fairly funny and well done along with the Halo 3 ending music Tribute and Greatest journey.

**TrollPie**

Bioshock by a mile. But I'm not sure that counts as video game music...

**Havok210**

I have always thought that the Final Fantasy games had a great score to them. The Halo series impresses me as well.

**timofeo**

EarthBound songs are pretty good for an SNES Game I would say.

Also the Mystic Ninja N64 game had cool songs.

**sillyboy**

So many good music....

But the best moment was in Halo 2 Playing hard difficulty, when the Brutes overtake the Elites in battle. I entered a hall, filled with elites and brutes... Blasts flying everywhere...

That's the moment the song said "Only the strongest will survive" It was awesome

This was the song:

**Brother Coa**

Mass Effect 1 and 2 have so Epic Soundtracks.
Dawn of War 1 and 2 also have Epic Soundtracks.
Dead Space is excellent if you are into scary kind of ambient.

**DickBandit**

You're welcome.

**TrollPie**

Oh, and Undying, amazing game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REp-b6zd38w&feature=related

**purplefood**

Sins of a Solar Empire had a great soundtrack...

**Medium of Death**

**iproxtaco**

Pretty much every song ever in Halo, the best score I have ever heard for a game. They take actual care and effort into making original scores, it's just amazing. Last level of Halo Reach, the theme is going, knowing the last Bungie Halo game was coming to and end, I was almost in tears.

**Cheesecat**

Fallout 3.

**purplefood**

I absolutely detested almost every aspect of Fallout 3 and most of all the music...

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

So did I purplefood. HATED every music channel except the old lady playin her violin. Shame you had to have stupid Three-dog (I think thats his name)'s channel in your house.

I throw in Metriod Prime

Braid

Bioshock (already been said, but posting my favorite song)

(I'll add more as they come to me)

**Coolyo294**

**Asgeirr Darkwolf**

Hmm... dont have the links right now (they will be up), but:

-Battlefield theme

-MORTAL KOMBAT!!!

-Uncharted has an awesome score

-Black ops and MW2

-Assassins creed has a cool score.

-And, of course, Halo. A masterpiece.

**purplefood**

The battlefield theme tune rocks...

**Asgeirr Darkwolf**

I love it so much.

**Monster Rain**

I've been humming this occasionally for about, oh I don't know, 12 years?

**Kasrkai**

Up until 0:53 it's just catchy.

At 0:54, Sh!t gets real.

**Asgeirr Darkwolf**

Pure win from DICE.

Why did you dislike it so much?

Personally I thought it was a major improvement when compared to Oblivion, oh well.

Ah, Giygas. I never played Earthbound, but I did some research on "Most disturbing Bosses" and every list I looked at, this guy was at the top of 'em all! I wondered why. I thought "Yeah if I was a kid playing this I might have nightmares from the creepy psychological cluster feth of a final boss", but then I really saw why he was at the top of everyone's list. DAMN! The guy who made that game made a ballsy move for a video game released in the early 90s!

Well, the dude is so powerful, that his mind and body is completely destroyed and is reduced to an indescribable semi-ethereal form of pure and conscienceless evil that must be contained in a huge machine to even allow him to think. If that's not bad enough, the only way to beat him is to LITERALLY PRAY TO GOD for your safety. Even then, he will EAT some of your prayers.

Yeah, I pissed myself once or twice.

**remilia_scarlet**

I would put some touhou songs, but there's too many.

I love this theme song, but the game, unlimited saga, is god-awful, great battle theme, though
