Portal 1 & 2 in my opinion were my favorites, loved Halo 3 as well.

Yeah. The Halo theme is great. Nicely executed and what not. It's just not one of my favorites.

Yeah, I understand.

Got any others? Go ahead and take your time. That whole list above took me half an hour to make. (I copy pasted it from somewhere else just now though)

Hmm can't beat the classic little tunes from games like the original Zeldas and Pokemon.

In all honesty, even though I'm a massive Zelda fan, I don't really like the Hyrule Theme that much. I know it's a classic, but I don't see the appeal. It's somehow overly-uplifting and boring at the same time. I just don't think it's that great. Same thing with Mario.

It just has stuck with me is all, did you see the orchestra performance at E3 for the 15th anniversary?

Yes. And the official Skyward Sword Theme was ASTOUNDING. I can't wait to hear the whole thing in it's glory.

Yeah, aren't they doing a tour?

Something like that. Not until after the game's release however.

Ah, yes I can't wait to try out skyward sword.

Oh I totally forgot about that one! I'd put that down as an honorable mention, but I'm to lazy.

Personally, I think Capcom has done better music. Just look at Street Fighter or Monster Hunter.

This too:

Still Alive by Lisa Miskrovsky is amazing. It's for the game Mirrors Edge.

My top three:

1. Chrono Cross - Lost Pieces


I've never played Chrono Cross, and I was only linked to the music through Gizmodo, but it's a really nice song. I doubt it's a boss track.


2. Mass Effect 2 - The Illusive Man's theme


Whatever it is about this song, the Illusive Man wouldn't be the same without it.

3. The Ink Spots - I don't want to set the world on fire.


I don't know what to say about it, it's just the Fallout music for many people. Nothing quite beats wandering the wasteland listening to this.

The Halo Series is the best in my opinion.
