Hello all,

I have not seen this topic before so I figured I would start a (hopefully large) thread! I, for one, listen to many game soundtracks, therefore I will list my top 10 (not in an exact order):

1) Final Fantasy 10: PS2

FFX had some of my favourite songs of all time: People of the North Pole, To Zanarkand, BESAID ISLE!, A dream that will end sometime. No soundtrack has grasped me as much as this one

2) Skies of Arcadia: Dreamcast/Gamecube

Tough to name a particular 'song' but some of the beauties are 'Main Theme', Theme of Loneliness, Battle Theme, Kingdom of Ixataka, etc. I just LOVED this game so much that I always go back to the OST

3) Shenmue: Dreamcast

The music in Shenmue was Incredible; even if you haven't played the game you MUST check it out one day.

4) Kingdom Hearts Series: Every System ever

Wow where do I begin, the first time I heard dearly beloved I left the start screen on for what must have been HOURS. I youtube playlist kingdom hearts all of the time.

5) Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross: SNES & PS1

These games had amazing soundtracks, even if Chrono Trigger was for the SNES. I can't reccomend checking them out enough. Chrono cross ones I know off the top of my head are Radical Dreamers, and my favourite song EVER Dreamwatch of Time !!!

6) Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core

Price of Freedom and Under the apple tree are two of the greatest video game songs ever made IMO....incredible guitar work on this OST.

7) Radiant Historia: DS

Played this gem this year and the OST was my favourite part.

8) Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 9: PSX

Can't decide between the two so I put both! Incredible soundtracks

9) Zelda: Ocarina of time & Majora's mask: N64

The soundtracks overlap and are very similar. I LOVE the town themes,  and song of storms I can listen to forever

10) Shadow of the Colluses: PS2

When I originally played the game I did not pay too much attention to the music. Now that I played through the collection I must say that the music was INCREDIBLE.

Other Incredible Ones:

Silent Hill 2, Bastion, Grim Fandango, and Xenogears.

I'd love to hear what other gems are out there!

Favourite game ost's:

Halo franchise
Gears franchise
Zelda: OOT & Majora's Mask OST's
Star Wars games obviously have great OST's as well.

Mass Effect OST's

I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two.

Okami. O-freaking-kami. I've been listening to the CD for the past two years and playing the songs on the piano.

Below that, Tetrisphere, Donkey Kong Country. and Medal of Honor: Frontline had really good ones, too.

I played Okami for the first time this fall and I agree that the OST was AMAZING

I do love the Halo soundtracks. Sticking to M$ franchises the mass effect series always has GREAT songs

Ah the Mana series...amazing. I gotta check out some of the above!

1. FF8, and FF7 (really I love all final fantasy music, 6-13. Except 11,12, but those 2 are my favorites).
2. Deus Ex Human Revolution. (My Favorite Ambients ever in a game, amazing atmosphere).
3. Super Mario Bros 3 (Like Final Fantasy, I love all the the 2D ones and Mario 64, but this is my favorite).
4. Deus Ex (Great, videogame music)
5. The World Ends With You (The style fits this game perfectly and enhances the atmosphere).

I find a lot of music in games is a bit too movie like now-a-days. But still, the crappy videogame music these days is better than the crappy videogame music of yesteryear imo.

FF VI, VII, X
Zelda OoT, ALttP
Mario 3 and World
God of War franchise

I played Till the End of time a while back; I will listen to the OST again for sure
