Mech 2 is by far the best game music ever. I would say Deus Ex is second but a distant second.
 
Need for speed hot pursuit 2. or mabye midnight club 3, that did have some good stuff. Kuja's theme from FF is wicked though.
 
Guilty Gear X2, Armored Core 4 seems to have a great opening song, Xenosaga II and III are great ones done by Yuki Kajiura, Xenogears, The Ace Combat Series has a GREAT compilation of tracks that I love (epic orchestral), just listen to "The Unsung War", "Zero" and "Megalith -Agnus Dei-", I have so much more as I think a lot of the music in games are far better than what's mainstream.
 
I like the score from Max Payne 2 - very moody and gels well with the game.

The Grand Theft Auto games all had great soundtracks with plenty of diversity. What was awesome about the game was how it would create these... moments. You are on a 5-Star murderous rampage, dozens of squad cars are coming at you and you are desperately in need of a car. Finally, you get into a car and the radio plays 'Killing in the Name of' just as you ram through some pedestrians 😀 Sometimes, you launch yourself off a ramp and pull a sweet insane stunt at the very moment a slow verse leads into a loud chorus that roars through your speakers....damn, I love those games. 😀
 
For anyone wanting to listen to the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, or any other of the other great SNES RPG's (Tales of Phantasia, FFII-III, Seiken Denetsu 1-3, Lufia 1-2, or any other SNES game), you can download the SPC's at Zophar's Domain. Be sure to get an SPC player or plugin for Winamp (SNESAmp is good) to be able to play the files. That site also has links for other video game console music, directly ripped from the games (mmm... Nobuo Uematsu). Love ZD; have been using them for years now 🙂

And for soundtracks of other games, try Galbadia Hotel. They have a crazy amount of mp3s for a ridiculous number of games (and animes).
 
I really like the CD audio for Descent 2 - Skinny Puppy, Type O Negative and other industrial metal-type stuff
 
Deus Ex
Red Alert 1&2
Morrowind
Many of the Final Fantasies
Quake 1 and 2
Red Faction
Max Payne 2
Silver
One or two combat songs from MechWarrior 4: Vengeance
MDK 2
Homeworld
American Mcgee's Alice
A few from Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2

Actraiser
Super Metroid
Some of the Alien 3 tracks

Thats just from looking at this thread. I cant even imagine going through my cases and looking at older games I've forgotten.

Also, my current favorite (because I can play it over and over with the in-game jukebox) is Onslaught number 8 in Unreal Tournament 2004.

ALSO, crap almost forgot, Earth 2160 had good Installation and Menu tracks.
Not much of a game, but good songs.

EDIT: The in-town songs from Disciples 2 were OK, and the battle music was sometimes good.
 
Xenogears, FF7.

Granado Espada's music is really good for a MMO when I was trying the beta.. really kept me awake.
 
If you don't already know about them, check out the Minibosses. They do some great covers of video games.
 
Mechwarrior had a fantastic song.

Gamespot had a mp3 collection years ago. A pity I lost those files.

The original Diablo song is still on my mind.
 
Im gonna have to say GTA:VC. Radio had good songs, and hilarious shows.

Although Vice City Stories comes in a close second. Thats fvcking hilarious!
