Oh boy, I can go on and on about game music. Well, here's some of my favorites from SNK's series of games:

Samurai Shodown III-Dance of Battle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0sVzlvk-EM

Garou: Mark of the Wolves-Spread the Wings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flPBoVYkyx4

And finally, the best boss (and boss theme) in any fighting game:
Fatal Fury-Geese Howard Theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM1wlHP2eDY

Of course, there are tons of other tracks I love, but these are some of the ones that stand out to me.

My friend taught me how to play some of this last night on a keyboard. We were smoking, drinking and playing Final Fantasy 7. We named Cloud "Punanny". Took him about 10 minutes to teach me 10 seconds of it. Hahaha.

This doesn't really count but I just found it incredibly awesome.

Especially since they sing in tune with the background music without the cheap use of auto-tune.

Hahaha I love that.

"Take a second to look awesome. Time to go."

Still not as good as this:

Tomáš Dvořák, a talented Czech composer, created the electronica music for Machinarium, one of my favorite games.

Blur - Intro - Ecstasy of Gold: Remix Leave Nothing Extended

I somehow forgot God Of War's insanely awesome soundtrack, it's honestly one of the most fitting and atmospheric ST's I've ever heard.

(All of these are from GOW2)

Glory Of Sparta


Pegasus Battle


Phoenix Rising


Typhon Mountain


Crossing The Lowlands

Also, sorry for the atrocious double post, but I wanted to say that Sonny 1 + 2 had amazing music. It easily has the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a Flash game. ESPECIALLY considering this is all made by a single composer, David Orr.

Sonny 1
Background Music 1 ("World Map")


Background Music 2 ("Aftermath")


Battle Music ("Heroic Confrontation")


Boss Battle Music ("Final Encounter")


Sonny 2
Background Music 1 +2
Couldn't find these anywhere, sorry. Just go play Sonny 2, beat the first two battles, and you'll hear both of these tracks

Battle Music ("Outnumbered")


Battle Music 2 ("Internal Conflict")


Boss Battle Music ("Final Encounter Remix")

Okay, I hope there'll be someone here who'll thank me for this next one. Anyone who loves it as much as I do? =P

Didn't play Sonic as a kid, but cool song R_T.

Also, this. Fucking amazing game. <3

Rapid bass guitar :v


Oho do I see a boss battle theme?


A FINAL boss theme? (One of 7 unique ones horhorhor)


Alkaiser's theme is also pretty legit.

Ahhh, you don't have to embed the actual videos, they make the page load so slow. Links are just fine, or tell us about it and we can look it up ourselves if we're interested. =}

Damn you, jerk!!!11!11~`~~!!!`1 =D

Nah, it's cool, whatever.

Also, Metal Gear Solid 4. Goddammit, why do PS3 exclusives have such goosebump-inducing music? It just fuels my already considerably problematic fanboyism.
