splinter cell: chaos theory.

i'd probably point to it as the single best creative accomplishment to ever come out of the entire history of vidiot games

I'm very interested in why you think this, care to elaborate? Haven't actually played the game, just interested in what can make a SNEAKING GAME soundtrack great.

Opoona.

with dreamcast looking graphics, a great battle system and a refreshing story, Opoona's best quality would definetly be it's soundtrack. blending a synthy sound along with realistic instruments, it has a truly original sound. I had a hard time deciding what game had the coolest music, but now I don't.

unfortnetly, this is the only video on youtube thats just the music from Opoona. the game never had an officially released soundtrack, which is very sad because this game has one of the best soundtracks ever.

Fuck yeah! Amon Tobin!

Also the Quake 2 soundtrack was ace.

It was done by Amon Tobin (and is pretty good--one of the reasons why I bought the game when it was cheap).

I'd also say killer7. I actually own a physical copy of it because it rules and I'm a dork. Best tracks: Rave On, Shoot Speed, Dissociative Identity, Reenact, Electronical Parade, Heroic Deeds, Blackburn (and many others).

I've probably chosen the more "gimmicky" tracks (compared to the rest of the OST) but the whole thing is good.

Favourite Video game soundtrack would possibly be for F.E.A.R... It blends in perfectly with the environments and is sufficient to scare more then the game itself at times.

Fallout 1 & 2. I think these soundtracks are the sole reason I am so interested in composing for soundtracks today. I think these MADE the game and for the life of me I don't know why they decided to chuck out Mark Morgan and replace him with INON ZUR for fallout tactics and fallout 3, I don't think it's going to be the same without him.

Any game that would give up a little gameplay to gain a little soundtrack will deserve neither and lose both.

Oh yeah, the SaGa games and Streets of Rage were pretty good too

but Streets of Rage totally ripped off a song by Enigma

A lot of great memories growing up with this game. Even during the PSone era I would take out the old SNES and play through Chrono Trigger again and again. The whole lead up to the Magus fight (and then the fight itself) was my favorite part of the game, frankly.

I never bothered playing Kingdom hearts, but I really do enjoy the composer's works.

Grahf, one of the most convoluted villains I can remember.

Xenogears really did have some great tracks... If I remember right, this is the one that played during the "true" final boss.

Personally, I enjoy the music from most games. Specifically the Kingdom Hearts games (All 3 that are out), the Tales Of - gaes and the Dark Cloud games.

But my favourite has to be Risky Woods on teh snes and sega. Mega hard game, but has music that got stuck constantly in my head for ages.

Just like Mortal Comboink, f***ing TF2!

I'd like to add that Wild Arms 2 has the best 'dungeon' music to most games I've ever played.

Anywho, I really like a lot of videogame music, and it's establishing itself as a growing art.

I really like Ruthless, Ruthless (Reprised) and Displaced

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

The best intro to a video game ever is this:

No longer do you see "Westwood Studios".... "proudly presents" in a command and conquer

and do you know why? Cause since EA took over it's been totally shit! And if they release a shit RA3 then they can kiss my custom goodbye.

RA2 was the last good RTS, I have yet to play one that is as good since.

Soviet FTW! Atleast with them it's less infiltrate blablabla and more blow shit up.

That track in the intro is awesome, what's it's name?

I have always been taken away by the immense beauty of the Terranigma Underworld song. The sorrow mixed with a determine feel really puts me to tears.

No song has ever been able to take me as this song. Not even the MGS theme.
