Songs That Define Games

[Rombie]

I have a folder of some of my fav game tracks on here that I'll load if I want to hear something different for a change. Made my list a long but easy one...

Repeating ones said, I agree with AJ on Chrono Cross - Time's Scar and Member of STARS on the Burnout Theme easily, and there are a number of other tracks listed I really agree with or enjoy as one of the main tracks on the soundtrack.

Some others on my list...

Metal Gear Solid - Best is yet to come / Enclosure
Bubble Bobble - Theme
Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times
Command and Conquer Red Alert - Hellmarch
Daytona USA - The King Of Speed (Rolling Start)
Devil May Cry - Lock & Load
Castlevania - Cross A Fear (Perfect Selection)
Einhänder - Shudder
Gran Turismo - Moon Over The Castle
Killer Instinct - Title
ZOE - Kiss Me Sunlights
ZOE2 - Beyond the Bounds
Max Payne/Max Payne 2 - Theme
Metal Gear 2 - Zanzibar Breeze
Metal Gear Portable Ops - Calling to the Night
Metal Gear Solid 2 - Main Theme
Onimusha - Smanosukesirabe
Onimusha 2 - Truth of Brave
Parasite Eve - Main Theme
Shenmue - Main Theme
Alien Trilogy - Theme
Clock Tower - Scissorman
Grand Theft Auto - Fergus Buckner (Cracks me up every time)
Vandal Hearts - Burning Sorrow (Main Theme)

Soundtracks where I have a challenge to pick 1:
Xenogears... multiple tracks, and then the Xenogears Works Creid remixes are some of the best work ever.
Silent Hill (series)... too many tracks in each game, especially in SH2 where I can listen to the entire soundtrack from start to end.
Resident Evil (series)... certain tracks do stand out, but normally a few each game.

I should also mention Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, with "Beyond the Bounds".

Was that the song at the start? The opening intro?
That was so damn cool. I never got into the game but I used to often start it up, just to watch the intro!
Another game I use to often put on, just to watch the start, was Onimusha 3. The game is good but that intro, is perhaps the greatest ever made. It's F**king Awesome!!!

I can't believe nobody has mentioned these 2 yet. The songs at the closing credits of Fatal Frame 2 & 3. These songs fit the games SO well and I think it's the only time that I've liked the songs so much, that I went and bought cds from the same artist. Tsukiko Amano. Japanese, Alternate Rock Goddess!

For the Legacy of Kain series as a whole:

Sorry for the MASSIVE BUMP...but I've been listening to this a lot lately:

It's incredible to see how a series' main theme can evolve over time. I keep hitting repeat over and over again. I guess it bears noting that my favorite out of all of them would probably have to be the most recent one in Birth By Sleep. It's sadder than the rest, and I guess that's why it hits the hardest. BBS was definitely not the happiest of games...the series as a whole really isn't...but this song is just special to me.

A bit off topic here, but I remember this member quite well. Did he not have a big post count before? I remember when Dot banned him, but I wonder what happened to his post count.

[Darkmoon]

I seem to recall he was being extra specially smug about it, and so it was taken away in one of the last ditch efforts to make him behave.

It failed.

As for songs that define games...Primal Eyes, the Parasite Eve theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGWa4Zm0YDA - Delicious.

[P.I.M.P.]

all of resident evil 2

It failed.

I wonder how old he was. At one point, I got really irritated by his pointless posts.

The Police Station theme in RE2 still stands as one of my personal favorites, I don't think any game has exceeded that for me.
