Game music

[wasder]

Another Red Alert fan! Excellent. They did get good music for those games. And I love the little tune in MGS games when you die.

[TheTerminator2004]

Fire Emblem! Love the theme tune for that. Several of the songs in the two Golden Sun games are excellent as well.

[WrathOfDeadguy]

The top picks, as I see them, for out-of-game audio:

 

1. Ace Combat series (from AC4 onward)

2. Halo (love it or hate it, the score kicks arse)

3. Mass Effect

4. Orange Box

5. System Shock 2

6. C&C (the first four games)

 

----------------

 

In order of how well each soundtrack is used for atmospheric effect in-game:

 

1. System Shock 2

2. Halo

3. Mass Effect

4. Ace Combat

5. Portal

 

None of the above can be played with the music off without losing an essential part of the game, IMHO.

 

6. Half-Life 2 EP2 (sadly, EP2 still suffers from the loading zone music cutoff that every other Half-Life title has)

7. C&C (since you can change tracks at will)
