I first heard my favorite piano piece in a game. In Resident Evil, you have to play notes found in the mansion to open a secrety area. When played, the notes turn out to be "Moonlight Sonata" a very creepy and yet very cool and fitting piece for that game.

Was playing Universe at War and started thinking 'this sounds awfully Command & Conquer-ish..'

Lo and Behold, Frank Klepacki did the music.

I was just a little amazed that I, and video game music, had reached the point where I could recognise the authors of the music.

Overall, loves me some game music, from Doom (yes, I know, Pantera and so forth) to FEAR to Shadow of the Beast and right back to Comic Bakery..

It's a testament that the same music used in the video games is used in the Silent Hill movie.

My only question is why is it that only skating games have decent new licensed tracks..

Outlaws soundtracks make me feel like I'm a western movie character (Sanctuary and Sanchez The Outlaw are my favourite tracks. Sanchez The Outlaw brings an attractive gypsy dancer woman into my mind).

When I want to hear some music to kill by in WoW, I put on cheerful little number, which is from another game:

It's fun to do my rogue karate moves to it. :)

Status: offline 		Have to say Im not a big gamer, but video game noise &  music etc drives me up a freaking wall, the only time I ever listen to any interwebs or video game sound is music I choose to play aside from the game. I hate pages that play music, turns me off a site more than anything.
Yeah Im weird, I  know this.

I liked the old Super mario bros for snes. Especially the end music when you beat the game. Metal gear solid 3 had some great music. Very good music for sneaking up to someone and choking the shit out of them. And the music for the battle with the boss is the best. I used to like the tomb raider series. Things had a habit of just suddenly happening. Some my favorites come off of final fantasy vii, final fantasy x2, and chrono trigger.

Status: offline 		Silent Hill and FF are very cool.
I am also a fan of SSX (for my sins) -  and BurnOut Revenge.  DJ Atomica rocks! *cheesy grin*
I LOVE Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack.
And I like the music used on Fallout3 and Bioshock.
Call of Duty WaW demo/preview music isn't bad.
 
And of course, theres Guitar Hero and Rock Band...
