Best game music EVER?

[beer]

A friend and I started this discussion during lunch today. For me, it'd have to be Halo. The music is just AWESOME, fits the genre so well and is event-driven. What else has the best game music? Consoles and PCs both, etc.

tetris

 

[DaveSimmons]

Planescape: Torment, especially the fortress or regret.

 

[anxi80]

gta: vice city

 

[Czar]

Old quest games

 

[Dudd]

Elder Scrolls III, Morrowind. Lucky for me that they included the soundtrack in the package, or I would have thrown my whole fifty bucks down the drain.

Simcity 4 has some cool music The Command and Conquer games have some cool music too

ff7,Metroid Prime,Chrono trigger...i loved the music in all of these

vice city's soundtrack is also great!~

 

[datalink7]

Planescape: Torment (also happens to be my favorite game), FF7 and Morrowind are all great, but the title has to go to:

Homeworld.

I was blown away by the soundtrack.

The music to the old Super Mario Brothers Games are what made game music all it could ever wish to be.

[Deeko]

Bejeweled

Homeworld had an amazing soundtrack. It fit the "deep darkness of space" theme extremely well.

 

[LOLyourFace]

no one mentions the catchy tune of Warcraft 2

how about the amazing terran theme with echoed guitar in StarCraft

the great middle eastern female vocal trembling as you hack in the dark dungeons of Diablo II

Warcraft 3, I don't know wtf is up with their music.. especially Undead.. horrible.

i haven't played a lot of games, but from what i've heard, GTA Vice city rules.

 

[Broohaha]

we're truly, truly n3rds when we're discussing game soundtracks. but hey whatever

ff5, ff6 and chrono trigger had the greatest music ever.
