Hmmm. Halo has some pretty amazing tracks, but I wouldn't say this is one of them. Don't get me wrong, the finale from ODST was pretty good, I've heard better though. Maybe I just never liked Odst....

Also @attoyou, finally got around to the 16 min dark souls vid you posted... very nice indeed good find.

This is shameful just shameful a thread about video game soundtracks and the epic music that is Actraiser from the great snes is not mentioned so here is a small sample:

Stage music

Epic boss battle music 1

Epic boss battle music 2

Don't get me wrong it's good stuff, but I'm just not into Snes or really old tracks. Probably because I didn't grow up playing those games.

those are the good ones buddy! nothing can beat 90s and MIDI

Sorry my condolences.

But like Dieapple said the 90's had some of the best videogame soundtracks especially the the 16 bit generation. As for Actraiser considering the theme of the game the soundtrack matches it superbly ( I still don't understand why this ip has not been remade), also I think this game soundtrack are played by orchestras around the world (or I could be just imagining that who knows)

@cyberninja As I said it's hard for me to get into those 16 bit soundtracks since I didn't grow up playing the games, so they seem very outdated for me. Pokemon however (blue/red) had an amazing soundtrack is that considered 16 bit?

Pokemon RBY is more like 8 bit...

Luckily for you some games of the 16 bit gen were on CD or had their music remastered that doesn't have the "outdated" problem:

Mafia II (50's music is awesome)
Grand Theft Auto Vice City/ San Andreas (80's/ 90's)
Bioshock Series
Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted 3

The few songs in The Sabouteur were good, such as Nina Simone's feeling good~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXiJh-x8DI4

I do love me some 50's music and agreed Mafia 2 had a great soundtrack.
