Best videogame soundtracks?
« 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.

It's a winner


Swatted away by the world, I was atop an incredibly thin needle.
I was using the tips of my fingers to balance,
But it wasn’t until they touched you that I learned I wasn’t alone;
That alone bestowed upon me these crooked wings.
“What do you want to accomplish between life and death,” I asked,
But all you did was laugh, like an angel.
Weaving through the spaces of the hordes of buildings burning in the summer heat,
We’ll eventually descend, pulling that trigger at the very end.
And winter will cover everything.
