: Game soundtracks: Who makes your favorites?

I figure I'd post this because I've been listening to quite a bit of game music lately.

I'd like to hear some opinions: which game companies do you think make the best music? Which games have some of the greatest music you've ever heard?

Personally, I've always loved the music Rare makes. From the old Donkey Kong Country games (Mining Melancholy and Stickerbush Symphony *crag* yeah) to more recent games such as Viva Pinata and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts n' Bolts, their music has always felt incredibly epic in one way or another.

Another company on my top list is obviously HAL. I seriously love the *crag*ing music in Kirby games.

Also a favorite would have to be the folks at Nintendo for the Super Mario Galaxy/Metroid Prime soundtracks. (though I still hate 90% of the New Super Mario Bros music because of that stupid *crag*ing "BUH-BUH-BUH" noise)

After hearing some of the music from the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion, I can certainly say that Blizzard has also earned a place on my list of god-tier music.

Other favorites of mine include Namco and Konami, more on that later probably.

Maybe I'll post some links to favorite examples later. Feel free to post some of your favorite songs and the like.

Goron you are either the greatest or most pathetic person alive.
I love you.
No homo.

I'll just sum it up instead of boring you guys with details, but what happened is my brother and I found an old box while we were cleaning out an old closet in what will soon be his room. Among the things found were the following:

-1 BB Rifle, working condition

-Donkey Kong Country Trilogy Soundtrack set

-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Soundtrack

-Super Mario 64 Original Soundtrack

-Final Fantasy IX Original Soundtrack, still with all the extras (artwork, piano sheet for Melodies of Life, etc.)

I know I can just download these soundtracks for free(and I already have all the DKC soundtracks on this laptop), but actually having the physical items is just awesome.

Needless to say, today is happy day.

Also, cold's gone.

>Get BB Rifle
>Shoot giant cockroaches
>My mom gets scared and she said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait, I hear the prissy, booze, whine, all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well uh, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet.
I just got here!
I sprang with the quickness, like lightening disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say is that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo home to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked to my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Been asleep for maybe 3 hours tonight.

Somehow managed to catch a cold in the middle of summer.

My throat hurts like *crag*.

So I'm just playing SimTower.

Hell yes.

I caught the very same cold a few weeks ago. D|
Shaken it, but still. D|
