Title: Best videogame soundtracks?
Post by: Airbongo on 6 September 2012, 06:21:33 PM
What do you think are the best videogame soundtracks ever made?

I am looking for songs to remix and use in an iTunes album I'm making. If I use the song you suggested, I will send you a free copy of the album as a thank you. :)

Oh and I posted this from my phone while waiting for the stop light to turn green. Pretty boss I know.

It's funny that you posted this because I just got done posting this to my Facebook:

although it isn't my all time favorite, it is pretty good.

That's quite funny because:
1. I'm not friends with my mother on facebook
2. I make all my statuses "Friends Only"
3. My mom doesn't have a Facebook

I do believe that is check and mate my good man.

False. Out of all 3 only 1 is valid since I was implying I befriended you on Facebook using a fake profile of your mother so that 1 and 2 are invalid.

I do rather like the Elder Scrolls series of songs, despite the fact that it sounds a little synth-ey. They should have hired a real orchestra to do the recordings.

Oh agree. A real orchestra always, ALWAYS sounds better than synthed stuff.

New York Philharmonic does a bunch of great Brahms and Mahler, and it's very similar to the music that Jeremy Soule does. Very feely, emotion-filled and thick textured music.

His music becomes really repetitive for me. For the average listener that's more invested in the movies that the music is involved in, it works - but for the most part, I find his music very repetitive and recognizable.

Yes, I agree. However, I do like it because of the connotations is conjures in my heart. Star Wars and Indiana Jones will always hold a place in my soul.
