Game Soundtracks

I love the Fallout soundtracks too, they add so much to the gameplay. Difficult to pick a favourite song though but my current earworm is

 
I've just been listening to the 'Battle of Haven' music from Dragon Age Inquisition and it nearly moved me to tears.. why do games do this to me??????
 
[intro]
I like a bit of edam on, it's Edam I like most
I-it's e-Edam with everything, and Edam on my toast
It's e-e-dam
It's e-e-dam
It's e-e-dam on toast
It's e-e-dam on everything, it's Edam I like most
Sometimes we laugh
Sometimes we cry
And we know why
Sometimes we cry
De de de dah dah dah dah daaaah de dah dah de dah de daaaah

The lyrics continue for pretty much every bit of music in that damned game.

And, fwiw, after discovering what happened to Edam when you toast it, I think it's fair to say that I never liked Edam.

I'd find it encouraging to hear that others have heard these lyrics in many places over the years, but suspect they... emerged... during dozens (hundreds?!) of hours of gameplay.
 
I was going to say Dino Crisis, but it turns out, on reflection, that it's shit and you'll listen to any old nonsense when you're a couple of over-caffeinated night-and-days into a thumb bender :D

 
Tomb Raider 1 is my personal favourite, it's all about the atmosphere.

Also, Ocarina of Time, where you get to actually play the music, has to be up there.
 


Can't believe I have not already posted this one. Love the soundtrack . . . all of it. I bought the OST (even though the game disc plays it on a regular CD player) hoping that the not time stretched versions were on it (as advertised) but they were not, they just had the stupid start music before every song. I was hoping there was more laugh and beats out there, but they only did one other single and it was horse shit.
 

Remember the Dreamcast? I had that skate game which featured this and a couple of other Guitar Vader tracks.
These were only available on a super LTD edition two cassette tape set. GV could not re-release or do anything with the tracks as they belonged to sony, who simply could not be arsed to reply the guitar vader about a proper release of the album. . . .

Anyway, thanks to the magic of the internet. . .

Sadly I'm not so interested in them this many years later.
 
This may be of interest..

It's a tie-in with a series of documentaries on Japanese game composers. First one is here:
 


A bit derivative of Miyazaki movie soundtracks in places, but very good nonetheless. Was esecially affecting in-game.
 


Some nice Scandinavian synthwave.

You should play Nex Machina. Housemarque have stopped making arcade games cos stupid people like you didn't buy Nex Machina. Buy Nex Machina.
 
Bit tangential but Jukio Kallio did Nuclear Throne and Fall Guys. He's also done a couple of non game albums. The last two are great.

I don't really play games, but end up watching my wife play a lot and the Outer Wilds soundtrack is fantastic and (I think) won a bunch of awards.
