When video games had awesome soundtracks...

MOHAA has my favorite soundtrack. I have a few good ones, but can't put a game title to them. I got them with Humble Bundle games, and they only come up on random play every so often, so I don't notice where they're from.

Edit:
Main Theme

I've heard a lot of game music, but none of it hit me in the gut like this one.

Since he didn't label his link, it's orchestral FF X.

Orchestral versions of Final Fantasy songs tend to be really good. Love FFX, I think Nobuo Uematsu is a very good composer overall.

There's a vocal version of Terra's theme (FF6/FF3] that is amazing.

"Eyes on Me" was another song with excellent vocals, and that one was in game in FF8:

I dont think the two games that sandwich FF7 get enough credit.

Not exactly a playable soundtrack, but I liked the music in Bioshock. Great atmosphere, and excellent song selection.

Agreed. If you've played it's spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2, it also had a great soundtrack.

Spooky and adrenaline pumping when the action kicks in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvrdtlyUXPg&desktop_uri=/watch?v=kvrdtlyUXPg

Assassin's Creed Revelations - Scheduled For Deletion

Woodkin - Iron

 

[TechAZ]

For me, Star Wars Galaxies had the best soundtrack of any game in history. Recorded by the London Symphany and John Williams.

Ni no Kuni, one of the most amazing soundtracks this year.

I can't not tear up listening to these. Love this game so much. So innocent and honest, classic tragedy and RPG roots and none of this billy bad ass Hollywood crap that plagues games today.

Mechwarrior 2 was awesome. You could put the game disc in a CD player and skip track one and the whole soundtrack would then play.

 

[Eureka]

The Katamari series has a pretty amazing soundtrack

One of hundreds (or thousands) of games to use CD audio tracks. Even lots of PS1 games did this.

 

[bigi]

Heretic IMO has on of the best tracks...
