There are many great video game composers out there but not all of them make great music that fits the game well... So, who's your favorite composer?

My favorites are:

  • Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy IX
  • Jim Guthrie - Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery
  • and Jeremy Soule for the Elder Scrolls games

Well, the only composer who I actually know anything about is Damjan Mravunac- he made the soundtracks for the Serious Sam games. So I guess I'd go with him being my favorite... because I don't know about any other composers. :D

Oh, not really a composer, but there is music band "Poets of the Fall" who made few songs for games - Max Payne 2's "Late Goodbye" (written by Sam Lake) and for Alan Wake.
