[RESOLVED] Really Good Game Soundtracks

[Nix]

Are there any OST (Original Sound Tracks) for games that you would consider really good to listen too ?

I found the music for Zork Nemesis eerily addictive.

Some of Metal Gear Solid was really good to.

I also like the Silent Hill series.

It probably helps to have played the games to sort of put the music in perspective.

Too funny ... just another sign of hanging out in a forum too long, you begin to repeat yourself! gj Nix!

Just like any of the best movies you'll see ... a good soundtrack really makes it all happen. I've always enjoyed the MechWarrior soundtracks... and too many others to list!

And then there are the off the wall ones... like Ecco the Dolphin. Cool little game from SEGA I think... cool sounds and music.

I really enjoyed the soundtrack for Need for speed underground.

A real mix and made the game very addictive.

im sure I have a lot more, but that really stands high.
