Favorite, most unique game soundtracks?

Infamous for me has the most unique soundtrack,
During the making of infamous the sound engineers went to dumps and started rattling on different stuff, and the outcome was a very unique, yet appropriate soundtrack.
The BEST soundtrack is without a doubt Jet Grind Radio

Mass Effect :smiley:

Holy shit, I love you for linking to my favorite song in that game that I nearly forgot about all these years.

Also, I’d like to add CoD 4’s soundtrack, as the composer they got made some music that doesn’t really sound like other movie’s games, and distinctly makes me think CoD 4.

Not so much the later cods tho.

Portal 2 is probably my favorite. I love fucked up, avant-garde electronic music and it’s one of the few game soundtracks that I actually listen to outside the context of the game.

Osmos. Osmos Osmos Osmos.

Im gonna also say MGS1 had a quite memorable OST that is recognizable. I can’t really think of anything else that sounds like this

Half-Life
Halo
DOOM
Pokemon silver/gold/crystal

Quake. Trent Reznor kinda failed on that one, but still AWESOME as hell.

I LUUUV Trent Reznor.

Braid, World of Goo, PPPPPP and Portal 2.

Seriously how anyone missed out the Silent Hill series is beyond me…

SH: 2 and SH: 3 probably have the best sound tracks to any game ever made :smiley: the composer is akira yamaoka and he is pure genius.

Theese are the most popular ones, enjoy.

Battlefield, all the way :freeman:

The guy who did the Mass Effect games is also doing the soundtrack for Red Orchestra 2 so hopefully that will be equally as awesome.

You mention MGS but don’t mention:

MGS2: Sons of Liberty Theme

or

MGS4: Old Snake

WTF?!

Wasn’t too much of a fan of 2’s music except for them main theme, though i like more of 4’s

And technically, that’s MGS1’s theme too:

I mentioned MGS1 because of how different the OST sounds from many other things, and this is similar about 4’s to an extent, though not of all songs from 4.

How in the world do those not sound like every Tony Scott movie ever?

Personally, I am quite partial to the Terrans’ theme music on both Starcraft games. I love the way they manage to depict a bluesy western-space theme. For the most part, I like Starcraft 1’s terran music better than SC2’s, although when I heard the Starcraft 2 theme for the first time, it took me right back to the first game but then promptly jacked up the epicness.
Starcraft 1 Main theme
Starcraft 2 Main theme

However, my total favorite song from the games is definitely this one: Sara System Blues
I think this one perfectly captures the western-bluesy atmosphere and gives a sense of desolation, then cautious hope, and then springs into action to get the player going in the level.
