Top ten gaming soundtracks... Well, there's a Sophie's Choice choice. Ok, not that bad, but still pretty bad!!
10: Assassin's Creed 2 - Jesper Kyd does phenomenal work with sound in this one. You can exactly tell what he meant to say with each song.
09: Baldur's Gate Series - Michael Hoenig and Inon Zur. These guys on top of a Bioware game, what more needs to be said
You know what? Screw the numbers, they are all number one for me. you can't make me choose!!!!!
Curse of Monkey Island - Pirates, adventure, music from Michael Land, awesomeness
Dragon Age: Origins - Again Bioware and again Inon Zur. Can't be a coincidence anymore.
Gothic 3 - Kai Rosenkranz on top, awesome music.
Red Alert Series - Frank Klepacki delivers music that will always get you going. Who wouldn't get pumped by Hell March?
Settlers 7 - Not done by any particular sinlge person and even with this manages to be great.
Uncharted 2 - Among Thieves - Greg Edmondsons experience at its best.
ZanZarah - The Hidden Portal - Not a very know game, but great soundtrack.
Final Fantasy Series - This would probably be my number 1. All the music, the concerts, piano versions, VGL, Fantasies conters. It is all so good, makes one feel so small.
Just a list for the rest - not that it means they are any less great, I'm just lazy to type:
Battlefield 2142
Braid
Civilization IV and V
Dawn of War 2
Echoes of War - I know, not really a game, but this is Blizzard for christ sake. Played by Eminence Symphony Orchestra. There is NOTHING more EPIC than this.
Elder Scrolls III, IV and soon V (So awesome music in the trailer)
Fable I and II and III
Gears of War II
All the Halo games (Reach is especially great)
Killzone
Mass Effects
and now I am really tired of typing, there's some more if anyone wants
