What genre are these songs?

Sorry for not posting youtube links but I am unable to (damn post system)

Technomancer - Endless Night

Joel Nielsen Black Mesa Soundtrack On a Rail 2

Joel Nielsen Black Mesa Soundtrack Inbound Part 3

Half-Life 2 OST - Lab Practicum

I am working on a project and I would like to look for songs similar to these but I find it so hard. I tried all combinations, techno, trip hop, trance, electro, ambient, dark, bright.... I tried everything and I could not find ANYTHING that even resembles any of these songs.

The genre can not be "Soundtracks" because "Soundtracks" can go literally from rock to electro.

There has to be some sort of genre or sub - genre under which these songs fall.

Thanks for the help.

I've had a listen to them and to be honest I would probably put them under the Melodic/Orchestral genre. I mean, there so many sub sections is all genres now that it's hard to put it in a specific category. Not much help..

I'd go for Chillout Downtempo with those.
