Not sure if this is already here, but fuck it.
Yeah that whole game has an amazing soundtrack. I love Metroid Prime so much, hence my user name I’ve been using for at least 5 years.
Oh I forgot there’s this one semi-obscure game for the SNES called B.O.B. that I always liked the music from:
Timesplitters 2 had perfect mood-setting music:
Ape Escape had some pretty good music.

I think the fps game with the best musics is probably Duke Nukem 3d. Lunar Reactor is my favourite from it’s tracks.
In RTSes, Age of Empires II rules everything.
TPSes… Heavy Metal FAKK 2.
Oldies… Last Ninja 1-2.
The galaxy map theme(s) from Mass Effect are great.
For a while when I was playing Skyrim, the ME2 theme would start playing in my head whenever I opened the world map.
capcom were always ahead of their time when it came to soundtracks for these primitive consoles
World of Warcraft has some absolutely fantastic music.
Far Cry 2.
The entire Shinobi III OST, directly recorded from a period Genesis chip. This may as well be a retro orgasmatron for me.
I actually prefer this version or the midi to most of the heavier remixes
I also quite like this version of grabbag, very faithful to the original midi
I’ve always liked the song from E1M9.
Anybody said Suberbrothers: Sword and Sworcery yet? Awesome soundtrack by Jim Guthrie, probably my favorite game soundtrack.

Other than that, I’d say Portal 2.
