[CKent]

Most 8-bit NES games. And most FF games, especially VII (US).

 

[Crono]

The music in Half-Life 2 was really good, too. It enhanced the moments of tension and energy. Most of the tracks are short, though.

 

[NoReMoRsE]

Heroes of Might and Magic II!

 

[Sea Moose]

Mass Effect - Had a great space feel

 

[jamesbond007]

For me, it's easily Halo; Marty O'Donnell is a freaking genius.

Most of the tracks were not that great, but a handful like this one were good. The music got better in the sequel.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Warcraft II has the best. I don't know why but to me it's the best Blizzard music past or present.

 

[imported_stev]

Shadow of the Colossus, the Silent Hill games (especially 2), and while almost nobody knows about it because it never left Japan, Ys The Oath in Felghana.

 

[Epic Fail]

Super Mario Bros.

Not so quick. Homeworld had an amazing score.

Example

Adagio

 

[robphelan]

Wipeout FTW

 

[lxskllr]

Bioshock

 

[zerocool84]

Pretty much any Final Fantasy and Metal Gear games.

I'll toss in a vote for Donkey Kong Country 2 and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Am I the only one who sees plenty of Starcraft references in Apollo 440 "Getting High on Your Own Supply" album?
