Another day, another failed attempt to do what I said, and another day of sleeplessness. Fun times am I right? Well, nothing brightens up my mood quite like my favorite video game official sound track which is a convenient segeway into today's topic! What's your favorite video game soundtrack?

We live in a privilege time if you love video game soundtracks. Thanks to music services like Itunes, many video game soundtracks have found new life. Video game developers are also taking notice as well making video game OST as apart of pre-orders or can be bought via their online stores. This week fans of one particularly famous OST got a surprise. Killer Cuts, the official Killer Instinct soundtrack that came with limited editions of the SNES, is making a comeback via the newest game for the Xbox One. While this version of the soundtrack is based around the newest game, the music producer is taking suggestions meaning old favorites can make comeback.

So what's your favorite video game OST? Can you tell which one are mine?

You were 3-for-3 on these choices, goddamn.

My favorite video game OST is actually Sonic: After The Sequel, followed by Street Fighter EX+@ on PS1.

SF EX has some legit tracks. It took me a while to warm up to it but they're really great. I love Strange Sunset and Amusement Crime.

I certainly could not just choose one, alot of the games I love have amazing soundtracks. Final Fantasy 9, Guilty Gear, Chrono Cross, Darksiders 1 and 2, and The Legend of Zelda just to name a few.

Yeah I have a bunch of favorites I didn't list as well like Skull Girls, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, Mario Gaxaly. The list goes on.

I'm going with Mega Man 2. On a related note, I often eat vanilla ice cream.

Mega Man 2 is serious boss though. I love Air man's theme and Dr.Wily stage 1.

There are so many video game soundtracks that I like, it's hard for me to just choose one. But if I had to, it would probably be Final Fantasy 6. But there are a lot of other ones I like, too. Such as NES Mega Mans, Chrono Trigger, Katamari Damacy, Klonoa, Tales of Legendia, Arkanoid DS, Loco Roco, Ys Seven, and many more!

Yeah I have a lot too. Its hard to name them all or remeber them either.

It would have to be a Nobuo Uematsu FF soundtrack, but I can't pick just one.

I love his work on FF7 AC soundtrack, even if the film was batshit crazy. His work on Super Smash Bros Brawl was awesome as well.

I have a few soundtracks myself, but one I've always enjoyed is Chrono Trigger. Of course it's difficult to pick one stand out in a Zelda series, but I really, really enjoyed Wind Waker's ost. Then I have a mario soundtrack, Kirby soundtrack, Bit. Trip soundtrack, and more. I really like video game music.

02/27/2014 at 09:32 PM

I love video game music as well. Most of my stuff on my ipod is video game music.

Can't decide my favorite, but among them there's Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Zelda: Twilight Princess, the first two Halo games, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Jet Set Radio Future, Super Meat Boy, Bastion, Guitar Hero 3, and I think some even more.

02/27/2014 at 09:37 PM

Those are some nice choices.

Can't decide a favorite, but just about any Pokemon game OST is right at the top of my list.

02/27/2014 at 09:45 PM

Its nice that Nintendo has putt a few of those OST on Itunes. I hope the oringial two games OST get put up as well.

Can't believe this took me so long!

Anyway, fav soundtracks

Guilty Gear XX - Make Oneself: I have the rare Sound Complete Box signed so I got to here all of them (most I suppose), this one is just fun and has a great melody.

Sonic Adventure 2 - Live and Learn: Crush 40 rule and this song at the end of the game really gets me pumped

Silent Hill 2 - Overdose Delusion: is at first soothing then goes very hecktic into a stream of seamless noise. And that was for the good ending too.

There's loads more but these are the first of my favs that come to mind.

Depends on which day of the week you ask me, but right now the first one that comes into my head is Road Rash for PSX. I got into Soundgarden through that game which featured Rusty Chains on it.

You mentioning Super Street Fighter II Turbo makes me wish there was a soundtrack for Super PUZZLE Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
