"Favourite Video Game Music"

Just wondering what is your favourite video game song? Pb made a thread about favourite song lyrics, but when it comes to video games the majority of the music that I like is instrumental.

I didn’t know what to expect when I bought Dragon Quest 8 but it has my favourite soundtrack out of all the games I’ve played. Nobuo Uematsu is deservedly well known for his compositions for Final Fantasy and Koichi Sugiyama is probably well known in Japan for his compositions for Dragon Quest.

A Quiet Village

Majestic Castle ~ Gavotte de Chateau

Remembrances

I would say that Braid is my favourite game and I did like both of these songs by Shira Kammen as well. I think that Downstream starts well but I’m not so keen on the last few minutes.

Shira Kammen – Downstream

Shira Kammen - Lullaby Set

Here are a few of my favourite Final Fantasy songs by Nobuo Uematsu.

Nobuo Uematsu - Fisherman's Horizon

Nobuo Uematsu – Melodies of Life

Nobuo Uematsu - To Zanarkand

I have yet to play an Elder Scrolls game, but I do like the theme tune.

Skyrim Morrowind Theme

So what is your favourite song in a video game? I would like to listen to them :)

"Burning Jacob's Ladder" from the end of Rage...

I'm sure you can find plenty of links to it! Awesome track, well worth a listen.

Not bad :)

Apart from the word "Rage" being used in the song, it doesn't sound like an angry song. Like Kurt Cobain, he's afraid of fading away :p

I've been known to dabble in creating video game music quizzes from time to time. I find video game music to be really interesting and I'm always on the lookout for something that is good to listen to.

For now, I'll leave you with some tracks and then I'll throw some more on here when I have a bit more time.

Skyrim Explore Night 2

Mass Effect - Uncharted Worlds

(There are extended versions but that is the original.)

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - When the Rains Come

F-Zero Mute City

BlazBlue Calamity Trigger had a great soundtrack, stupidly catchy even if it was in Japanese.

I never played F-Zero, but that reminds me of Smash Bros Brawl. The song I remember most from Melee was the hyrule temple theme.

Hyrule Temple (Melee)

I liked that Skyrim night song :)

Didn't understand a word of it, but it is pretty catchy.

The one I remember most about SSBM was the character select theme because that would inevitably be where we spent most of the time as no one could decide what character to be.

Smash Bros Character Select

Glad you liked the Skyrim Explore track. It is pretty much perfect when wandering around Skyrim as the sun goes down.

More tracks soon.

Really nice surprise in this game, you don't expect it when you first hear it

Shadow of the Colossus had some of my favourite music.
Link1
Link2
Link2

Can't believe how under the radar that game was. A lot of people seem to have missed it. Probably my favourite game on the PS2.

I really like the Opened Way. I liked the Demise of the Ritual but it took me too long to beat the final colossus. My brain stopped working on the last one >.<

This song also went on for too long. Took me a while to figure out you could steer the colossus by stabbing the teeth on its head :s lol
