I think it was Wipeout 2097 that had the awesome soundtrack. How can you go wrong with Orbital?

As far as original music goes, I'd second C&C/Red Alert - it's funny, the music is great when you're playing, but if you take it out of the game it instantly becomes kind of cheesy. Deus Ex had quite nice, atmospheric music, and a very good theme song. Unreal and Quake music always sounded kind of generic to me.

I'm going to have to go with the Soundblaster music for Commander Keen 4... or Wolfenstein 3D

Can't believe they haven't been mentioned yet:

Starcraft

CAll of Duty uses their soundtrack quite well. Although, I couldnt see myself listening to it.

Quarantine had a great soundtrack on the CD version. Cool metal, very appropiate for the game

Damn you, beat me to it. I always think of mw2 when best soundtracks in a game comes up

31st Century and Ghost Bear's Legacy had a cool thematic element to it, while the kick ass Mercenaries added Heavy Metal!!!!!

Woot to MW2 and GB Legacy. Damnit, I should have ripped the CDs while I could; now my dad confiscated my games . In any case, I never did beat GB Legacy; always died on one of the last levels which you had to jump into the other spaceship while in space.

GTA and Vice City....then again you can load your own soundtracks so I guess thats cheating

 

[arcenite]

Quake 2 for sure

Damn't I wanted to say that. It really added to the feel of the game. Cataclysm and HW2 are pretty good too.

Last year's RPG awards.

Doom II, Mechwarrior II, Heroes II -- all good.

I loved some of the themes from Planescape: Torment especially the one for (I think) The Fortress of Regret.

 

[KokomoGST]

Some songs on the NFS:U soundtrack are actually pretty good. Mmm... StaticX.

I guess it's a bit tough to go with Vice City's soundtrack since it was a PS2 game first.

 

[sandorski]

Unreal

 

[pennylane]

It was mentioned already but Deus Ex has a really cool soundtrack.

Hmm ... I think Quake ... however there are lots of games that have great soundtracks. (by great I mean they seem to well with the game, and they are decent to listen to, I don't think I would listen to any games Soundtrack while not playing the games otherwise ...)

 

[BatmanNate]

Decent II, Quake, Vice City, Red Alert.
