Video Game OST's
 

I've been on a soundtrack kick for while now.
Some of the better ones being the Metal Gear Solid ost's and the Chrono Cross ost. Anyone using slsk with any ost's help a ninja out

Sonic The Hedgehog series, nuff said.

The old games of course, the newer games try a little too hard to appeal to the "xtreme" crowd with their Powerman 5000 theme songs. :laughing:

Ristar, Ecco The Dolphin and The Revenge of Shinobi had great soundtracks too. Its easy to say Genesis pwns the SNES in the soundtrack department, though SNES did have F-Zero, Link to the Past, Final Fantasy IV and the first 3 Mega Man X games.

neh man.

earthbound, chrono trigger and then the classics

mario and metroid

all still sound great today

while ristar, nobody even ****ing played.

I'd reccomend beyond good and evils soundtrack-absolutely amazing

Xenosaga and Chrono Cross/Crusade games all have great soundtracks.

Its still a great platformer.

Besides, more people have played Bubsy than Ico, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Pyschonauts or Shenmue. So much for popularity.

The Baldur's Gate soundtracks are great. Michael Hoenig is a wonderful composer.

hey nights is getting a sequel

but too bad for shenmue :< didnt even get to finish off with the 3rd one

Silent Hill had a great soundtrack, and I actually have the METAL GEAR SOLID soundtrack. I'm not much of a gamer but that game and soundtracks is brilliant.

yeah metal gear solid, also bioshock, knights of old republic, ocarina of time and oh the banjo kazooie soundtrack, but just in the bits where you get the special boots that make you able to walk through lava, its like a wicked drum beat and harmonica solo. ahhh rare you mad geniuses

Overlord, Shadow of the Colossus, Oblivian.
Among my favs.

Zelda and final fantasy.

Twilight Princess?

The only Zelda to use an orchestra instead of strictly MIDI =)

On the subject of video game music....
 

I'd like to plug one of the most remarkable video game composers of our
time Nobuo Uematsu who did the score for the Final Fantasy series et. al.
This largely untrained (but natural genius) composer from Japan is among the finest video game composers out there. The soundtracks of most of the Final Fantasy video games are available online as well as the printed notation for some of the Final Fantasy VII songs, the Final Fantasy that really got some musical attention from the music world.

Uematsu works as a team and is primarily a computer/synth composer and does not work with a keyboard hardly at all. A mental composer who programs directly into a computer, but has the most remarkable ear for rich harmonies and splendid melody lines.

I'm sure the OSTs are easily obtainable online by searching Uematsu or Final Fantasy.

Sincerely, JRM Yurshta

Omnikron has a soundtrack by Bowie, I seem to recall it being pretty good (in a weird kind of way).

Best Videogame OST's
 

my latest kicks are anticon and ost's but what are some good videogame soundtracks? (any system) I've been diggin the Metal Gear Solid 2 ost and Amon Tobin's Splinter Cell ost. Check those if u havent given them a listen without playing the game

I maybe got 1/30th through that game before I decided it was not worth my time.

The music didn't strike me as being particularly noteworthy either.

>: [

anywho,

latest Mario game is fully orchestral, which is cool, im sure that will be pretty interesting.

best video-game songs imo are:
Sonic: Knight of the wind,Seven Rings In Hand, Reach For The Stars, Believe in Myself, A New Venture

Other game songs: Nightcore:dragonborn comes, Endless Ocean Blue World: Dulaman,

hey im a sonic addict lol

^I'll admit that the soundtracks for the Sonic series are a huge guilty pleasure of mine (except for the soundtrack for Shadow the Hedgehog, but that game sucked aside from a few boss fights). Even Sonic 06 had an alright OST.

So, what other OSTs do I love? Let's see what I can think of at the moment:
Bayonetta
Cave Story
Katamari Damacy
Kingdom Hearts (the soundtrack is actually what got me into music, and it was also the first album that I bought. Hell, every game in the series has had a great soundtrack)
Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire
Portal 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Meat Boy

I'd think of more, but I'm really tired at the moment.

Best soundtrack comes from an obscure Genesis game called Skitchin'
