Hey guys what games do you think have the best soundtracks? Right now I am thinking Canabalt and spider: secret of Bryce manor. And y suggestions?
I think some good ones are Edge, the Zen Bounds, Osmos, Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor, Space Invaders Infinity Gene, and Enviro-Bear.
I agree with you on canabalt. Also bit pilot, the original robot unicorn attack, stay and minigore have awesome soundtracks.
Lara Croft Guardian of Light or Secret of Mana. I won't go into detail about SoM since it's been talked about forever now, but GoL's soundtrack is amazing. I thought the cinematic adventure scoring really helped to create a mysterious atmosphere. It'll build up during action sequences or become a soothing ambient soundscape in the challenge rooms. Also the sound fx in menus and in game are excellent. You'll get a nice 'thwap' with a spear, great explosive sounds with mines, and each weapon has a unique bullet fx further allowing you to be pulled into the adventure.
Best soundtracks that I can recall off the top of my head -- Chaos Rings, Aralon: Sword and Shadow, Robot Unicorn Attack: Heavy Metal Edition, Zen Bound 2, Infinity Blade.
