The Best Music in Games

Crysis 2's soundtrack is amazing, The Binding of Isaac's soundtrack is also incredible, but the game series that have the best soundtrack and the best game Themes EVER are the Metal Gear Solid series.

Proofs:

Metal Gear Solid 1 Main Theme

Metal Gear Solid 2 Main Theme + Intro

Metal Gear Solid 3 Main Theme

Metal Gear Solid 4 Main Theme

I guess that's enough for MGS...

Crysis 2 Insertion

Isaac: Greed

Baldur's Gate main theme still remains close to my heart. As soon as that luancher fires up and you hear the music you know it's going to be epic.

notice how there arent any 'licensed' soundtracks. i mean why would i rate lets say... need for speed undercover soundtrack if i was bored of it years before the game was even released. the tracks werent even that classy like scarface soundtrack used in GTA game.

i probably forgot some games, but im a bit of a maniac of soundtracks so i just got too many to count lol.

Moon Song from Duck Tales for the NES

Half Life 2 Ep2
AC Brotherhood
The Witcher 2

Interstate 76

Medieval: Total War

MDK

Bastion, bastion, bastion BASTION!!! bastion ffs.

Guild wars is definetly a good one! Starcraft 2's is pretty good too but honestly i would love to see a game with some lke gambino and stuff it would be just badass. A few of the NFS games were good also the Def Jam games had amazing music, Party Up is the ultimate pump up song!!!

Doom Bobby Prince

Arcanum Ben Houge

Diablo 2 Matt Uelmen

Monkey Island Michael Land

Age of Empires Stephen Rippy

Once again, the Myst series is overlooked.

Uru has one of the greatest game soundtracks to date here is my favorite piece, the Gallery Theme , this still sends chills down my spine.

From the recent games: Machinarium, The Binding of Isaac, Osmos, Bastion

from the old ones...mmm... Diablo I & II, Baldur`s Gate I & II, MDK2, Unreal Tournament, Silent Hill series

the halo series and portal

Ace Combat

Morrowind had the best theme, as well it being the last immersive TES game always loved listing to this song when the game started, really got me in the mood to kill some cliff races and explore dwemer ruins.

Guys, I heard you like soundtracks!

I found this youtube account today.

Timesplitters 2 music.

The Neverhood Chronicles!

I liked the soundtrack from Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. I guess there are a lot more that I like, but I can only think of Wind Waker as of right now. Bastion had a pretty good soundtrack too, but I never played the game (although I hope to one day!).

EUROPA UNIVERSALIS III!!!!!!!!!!! Come on now, that owns all. The Witcher 2 OST is pretty snazzy too.

you guys forgot a very important one: Amnesia The Dark Descent

Still alive - Portal :0

Mass Effect

Morrowind's main theme. :D
Deus Ex', Arcanum's ;; and VTMB's ;; soundtrack.
I also had this instrumental song from UT2003 stuck in my head for the longest time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1f6npOAVn0

I don't usually pay attention to soundtracks, but just about every Final Fantasy game I've ever played has great music.

Half-Life 2 has easily the best soundtrack!
