Default Best Videogame Soundtracks

Ok, I'll go straight to the point on this thread, no lengthy introduction. Which videogames have had the best music that has stayed on your head even years after the game's been made and you already finished it. You just go back into thinking about the soundtrack and go like... man that soundtrack rocked!

I'll avoid the old school ones like Mario and Zelda. Here's my list:

Phantasy Star Online Ep 1&2 I
The game was great in its own, but the soundtrack was the icing on the cake. It complimented the atmosphere perfectly and made every single area of the game memorable.

Resident Evil 2
The same as before but the songs on this one had the ability to be soothing and scary at the same time. You knew the calm music with the piano was just deceiving, there was going to be something ahead, a breaking window, a morgue, a horde of zombies right past the next door or a tyrant spawning at random times after you (I'm looking at you, MR X) to catch you off-guard and scare the living crap out of you.

Guild War: Prophecies
Prophecies is the first guild wars campaign. It had the best intro music and all around the music was fitting for every area of the game. The only song I didn't like was the one for the ice area (forgot the name atm) where it was like three violins playing some extremely relaxing song that sounded like a lullaby. The rest of the sound track was great for a fantasy world.

Almost making the list are: Perfect Dark, Left 4 Dead and The Silent HIll Series. SH has some great songs here and there but there's a lot of weird noises that they want to call songs and they're just for creepic atmospheric purposes. But I refuse to call the music.



Which are yours?
