I really like The Late Goodbye the music for the end of Max Payne 2, by Poets of the Fall. A great ending to a tragedy story.

 

[MustangSVT]

Go for the eyes booo go for the eyeeeeesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

Assassin's Creed 2: Ezio's family

+1 for Late Goodbye

 

[Dkcode]

Not really a theme but most of the music from the first Unreal was well atmospheric.

 

[imaheadcase]

I like in Serious Sam 2 the sound when you pull eyes off those big dudes with rockets for hands.

 

[Anomaly1964]

Mad Moxxi's theme...

[darkewaffle]

Almost any of the starting area or city music in FFXI. Takes me back every time, especially Gustaberg and Sarutabaruta.

'CP Violation' from HL2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-wYaIbC4OE

'Track 16' is good too.

The Betruger cackles from Doom III were great as well.

[Tweak155]

A few Chrono Trigger choices:

And my favorite of the bunch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMzkUriqXvs

But yeah, Chrono Trigger got most of their music right.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

the greatest of all time

 

[Martimus]

The Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack was one of my favorites. Quake was pretty good too, but MW2 was really good.

 

[RPD]

I know we are in PC gaming, but I love the starting or opening music on the early Final Fantasys, the Crystal theme.

For PC's the guitar string for Diablo, the go for the eyes is great as well.

The tavern sounds in BG

"Give me some ale!"

The plains music, especially the theme that starts around 15 seconds in.

You want a theme that encapsulates the ominous nature of a game's setting perfectly?

[crownjules]

Doom E1M1

Double Dragon was also always one of my favorites. Each area's song is badass in it's own way (this is all the songs mixed into one long track).

 

[nitromullet]

Doom E1M1

\m/

also one of my favorites...

Quake III Arena PC Music - Intro

"Looks like he hit the tree, Jim"

It's an automatic reflex whenever someone gets me to play Golden Tee, and is absolutely hilarious when someone recognizes the line!

 

[DaveSimmons]

I liked a lot of the music and voice acting in Borderlands, like "Ain't No Rest..." - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLQ_U3ejaHc&feature=related

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, music and sound design.

Planescape: Torment - Fortress of Regrets / Deionara's theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUt84LyH2JI

 

[PrayForDeath]

Diablo 1 town theme, and Max Payne.

 

[RFE]

Not really a theme but most of the music from the first Unreal was well atmospheric.

Good call! The main theme song for Unreal was excellent:

These aren't main themes, but are very enjoyable:
Unreal Tournament also had some fantastic music, tunes for the various maps such as:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acN8sB1wJUg&feature=BFa&list=PL9F90082C9EEA30B4&index=21

Unreal Tournament 2004, tune for the Artic Stronghold map:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ-06FvaWbw&feature=BFa&list=PL9F90082C9EEA30B4

Then a tune from Mass Effect 2, the Suicide Mission:

Chrono Trigger tingles. Awesome. I love VGM. I'd say I have more favorites from consoles, but.

Secret of Monkey Island.

All of Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 is pretty choice too.
I dig the Diablo 2 work, that strange country vague thing. I don't know what you call it. Diablo 3...f no. I feel there is way better OST on consoles, personally. Maybe I just need to play more PC classics, maybe I'll pick some up in this thread. Recommend some. FRICK! what am I saying.
DEUS EX!!!! UNATCO. Wow i need to play Human Rev.

Wow - listening to that just hit my nostalgia button pretty hard. Takes me back to my personal Redoran stronghold, stockpiling all of my trophies, trying to explore the last bits of the continent. It almost makes me ache to check it all out again.

But I know if I re-install it it wouldn't be the same.
