OT - Game Soundtracks

Executor · #1 September 18th, 2011, 06:25 PM

Dominions III has an excellent game soundtrack but it inevitably gets dull after a while.

I find that Heroes of Might and Magic 4 have, to me at least, the best soundtrack of anything ever created. Not the best game but it does have an amazing soundtrack, I tend to listen to it when playing Dominions sometimes.
So, I was wondering, what else is there?

These are my two personal favorites, tho I find all of them quite appealing.

Hah! That's how good it is!

Right now, this is my second favorite.

Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate had some great music.

I liek the soundtrack for Space Empires V.

There was a song in Unreal Tournament 2004 that was pretty cool.

Vampires: The Masquerade- Bloodlines introduced me to Chiasm, and it gets bonus points for having a Daniel Ash song.

Also, Starcraft II's soundtrack has some decent songs, but the cover of Raw Power by that crappy band is almost unforgivable.

Heroes of Might and Magic 4 had some good music, but personally I liked the soundtracks of HoMM2 and HoMM3 better. In that order too. HoMM2 had absolutely amazing music for its time.

The soundtrack of The Witcher is also excellent. But my all time favorites must be the original Age of Wonders and Wing Commander 1.

Battle Macabre, Heartwood Forest and Love & Death from AoW are phenomenal and the briefing music from Wing Commander 1 never failed to strike a chord in me.

I agree, this was probably my favorite all-time game music.

Wizard
Sorceress
Warlock
Necromancer
Barbarian
Knight

I used to open up towns just to listen to the music. Really fit the themes well. And I'm not a fan of opera.

Ascendancy anyone? Best game OST ever.
