http://www.gamemusicbundle.com/ Some games have amazing OSTs (Mass Effect series is the best), plus some old schools, Morrowind and Gothic.

The Portal 2 soundtrack is a notable highlight. They even have it up for free download on the official site.

So many good video game OSTs out there, often better than the games themselves. You should take a look at Deus Ex:HR, Portal 2, Halo, to name a few.
Also buy Audiosurf, similar to Beat Hazard in that you play to your own music, so it makes it easier to listen to the tracks, at least i find.

Man! If I weren't so lazy right now, I would post a meme with the text: "I don't always listen to music, but when I do, it's video game soundtracks" :P
And VVVVV music is great. But check out Aquaria OST, it's SO epic! Alec Holowka created some real masterpieces.
Also check out music from a LucasArts oldie, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. It's been remastered and is available legally free somewhere in teh internet. Orchestral pieces that create atmosphere like nothing else! :)

In case anyone is interested:
Aquaria OST can be listened to (and bought) here: http://infiniteammo.bandcamp.com/album/aquaria-original-soundtrack
Fate of Atlantis soundtrack (at least one of the few remastered versions, and the best one in my opinion) can be found here: http://www.draggor.com/music/vg_ijfa.asp

Well, i love listening to OST's. There are lots of good games with an amazing soundtrack. Portal 2, Final Fantasy VII / IX, Chrono Cross, Bastion, Mass Effect 2, etc.
And Time's Scar is one of my favorites musics from a game.
Edit: Some linkz: Aerith's Theme | One Winged Angel | Vivi's Theme | Time's Scar

Mass Effect 2 (Crash Landing, The End Run, The Long Walk and Overlord's combat music spring to mind), Halo (pretty much any track you can name) and Red Alert 2 (Hell March 2 and Drok. You can listen to all of Frank Klepacki's tracks on his site. Just click "Launch the Jukebox") all have great soundtracks, but I find there hasn't been a single game I haven't gone into the music files to grab something.
Others that come to mind specifically are Fable (not my favourite, but my favourite is unfortunately a massive spoiler), Knights of the Old Republic II, Minecraft, Tomb Raider: Underworld (special mention to the licensed song in the trailer).
Oh, and if you want game-inspired music, you quite literally can not go wrong with Miracle of Sound. He has so many genres under his belt, you are guaranteed to find a song you like.

Most of the Square Enix's productions (Kingdom hearts, Final Fantasy) but special emphasis on Final Fantasy 7 ^-^

Halo, Outlaws, and Grim Fandango (although much of the GF music is audio cues rather than full songs)
plus... nods to a billion other game soundtracks... Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Total Annihilation, Bastion, Deus Ex (which I edited through it's original mod file for my personal ringtone), Deus Ex: HR, Super Meat Boy, etc....

So I just recently found out that I got the soundtracks to most of the games in the humble bundles when I bought them. Who knew. So anyways, I downloaded them all and have been listening to them (with some assistance from Beat Hazard), and wanted to know what people think of videogame OSTs. Love em? Hate em? Didn't know they were in your bundles like me? And also, what is your favorite OST?
Personally I'm going with PPPPPP - The VVVVVV Soundtrack. I was actually wishing I had that soundtrack for a couple months now because of how much I liked the game, and then I found it in a bundle I bought and there was much rejoicing.
