WhiteSlash Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I recently started to wonder just what some of the most epic songs in video games are. So I decided to make a discussion as to what everyone thinks are some of the best musical scores they have heard in games Personally for me it has to be Kameo Elements of Power!

Rosewind Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 One of my favorite fights in the game: Okami has an amazing OST. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnaloth Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I am truly curious about what Okami is, I've heard of it in so many ways, it must've been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSlash Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Same here. I've seen it alot but never really knew much about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Probably one of my favourite tracks, it's sad, but powerful at the same time. And guess who voices the 4th ranked assassin from No More Heros 2? Tara Strong! Here's her American theme (Catchy as heck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Okami is like Zelda, but replace Link with a wolf goddess. You can pause the game at any time and draw on the environment with a paintbrush, and different strokes do different things. . Actually everything about it is pretty amazing. If you ever pick it up, I recommend the Ps2 version over the Wii, as the paintbrush is easier to wield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penumbra Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Coz its the best game in the world. As well as this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshoe Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Jeremy Soule is one of my all time favourite composers, so his video game work is amazing. I routinely hike to songs from and .Because I have a love for metal and rock, Brutal Legend had a great OST as well. The music is amazing in a .Metro 2033 is one of my favourite games of all time, and its soundtrack is stellar. It is incredibly atmospheric, and plays mostly during the introduction to each chapter, and sets the tone for it to follow. Listen to this one, Ghost, and you can tell the level ahead is not going to be a very pleasant one (In fact, it's my favourite level in the entire game).Finally, there's Inun Zur, the composer of the barely-noticed Fallout 3 OST. Everybody knows the wacky Galaxy News Radio playlist of catchy '50s tunes, and Enclave Radio's patriotic American music, but so few people pay attention to the background music, the ambient stuff, which is amazingly done, IMO. Here's one of the tracks, which the uploader named ...sadly, most of Zur's tracks are un-named, which I find to be a travesty.Those are just some of the ones I can remember, as I loved them most. A lot of time music either falls flat for me, or just fades into the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah, the Fallout and Bioshock games just have some wonderful music, both the background music (Garry Schyman for the win!) , and the olde timey music. I used to play the soundtracks for these games at my store and I'd be surprised to see younger guys (Mid to early teens) pop in the store and be liking the music. Kids, liking Bobby Darwin and or Bob Crosby?Aren't all great people named Bob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaydeeKaze Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I really like these two out of the Skyrim OST. Plenty of others that I like, but these two contrast a bit so I thought I'd share :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciraxis Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 This time I will write about the Soul series from Namaco:Soul Edge/Blade: The best intro ever - Edge of Soul that is. Both and versions.In regards to individual character thems - cake goes to Cervantes for the and it's version. Other special awards goes to (screw you Yun Seong!) and Soul Calibur: This time IMO intro was disappointing. First Calibur does not posses as might soundtrack as Edge/Blade. Still...Cervantes once again does not fail us coming with . Sophitia this time is really badass - - as is Mitsurugi with his theme. Last mention goes to Maxi and his .Soul Calibur II: This time we got bonda fine .In regard of the themes - Diamond Trophy goes to my favourite theme of the series Brave Sword, Braver Soul. Confrontation the Lakeside Coliseum theme is close second. The last (but not the Last!) goes to Eternal Struggle from Pirate Alcove stage (whitch proves that Cervantes is THE MAN).Soul Calibur III:Some good themes are brought back (Confrontation, Sailing Over The Strom). In regards of the new one's - Wings of Despair and Time Marches On (this stage is pure genius!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSlash Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I loved the soul calibur games and their music! Though im not a fan of the two most recent games to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSwirl Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I enjoyed the music from the Streets of Rage series immensely. Example: The Return of Mr. X from Streets of Rage 2. It's the music that plays in the final boss battle.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUfCnMeF-XA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonetribe Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I've always been a sucker for Sonic the Hedghog's cheesy rock/pop songs. It's not my fault, it was part of my childhood! Even still, I'm glad I was able to grow up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
