Best music or soundtrack in a game?

A few months later, id like to add a few things to my list, mainly Ground Effect, Nicky Boom 2 and We Rule for more catchiness

 

I like Canabalat's music a lot.


If I was a DJ, I'd definitely remix it for crazed nights.

 

These budget idevice games (I don't buy many expensive games) have very decent game music, although I wouldn't consider any of their soundtracks to qualify as good music per se:


Zenbound
Spider
Space Ninja

Decent retro-styled games with good chiptunes:

Squareball
Space Invaders IG
Platypus
Sky Force
Canabalt (generic, but effective for the bite-sized diversion that the game is)

 

1. Enviro-Bear 2010

2. Canabalt

3. Zen Bound

4. Das Cube (by the same composer as Canabalt)

5. Spider: Secret of Bryce Manor

Runner ups:

Eliss
Jelly Car
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Driver

 

I made a small post here a while ago, but I do love game music and making lists

Rolando (2)
Edge
Zen Bound
Bounce On
Space Invaders Infinity Gene
DDR
Jelly Car (2)
Toy Bot Series
SPACE NINJA!!! (Best iPhone soundtrack by far IMO)
Underworlds
Hybrid
Defender Chronicles
Sword & Poker
Space Miner
Nicky Boom 2
Undercroft

 

Do you like the music for these games enough to actually listen to it without playing the game, or even buy it, if it were available?

Thanks for the Ground Effect mentions BTW

 

Oh yeah, I forgot some:

Rolando (1 and 2)

Edge

Hi, How Are You

THUMPIES!!!

Space Ninja

 

Avatar, Underworlds and Monster RPG 2.
Those have the most amazing soundtracks

 

without a doubt:
"Hi, how are you?"

 

Minigore has good music to go along with the mood

 

Space Miner has an amazing soundtrack and sound effects!

 

i would, and DID!

 

Minigore (best soundtrack ever!)

 

Creepy Caverns

Hey guys,

Firstoff, please excuse my rude self pimpage!

My (currently musicless) game Creepy Caverns just got some exciting news today.

Prolific 8-bit Music composer Thomas Mogensen (aka DRAX) has gotten behind the game and donated some of his tracks to feature in the game (expect the update on the appstore soon).

You can hear one of his tracks in the trailer found at the afforementioned thread, along with a link to a massive archive of free retro 8-bit music.

Hope you enjoy!

Scott.

 

I really love soundtrack from Blimp The Flying Adventures. Devs should release it in iTunes

 

I think blimp has a pretty great soundtrack

 

Not sure if this counts but I love Space Invaders Infinity Gene

 

certainly does

I love space invaders, spider, Edge, zen bound, Eliss, Rolando 2, minisquadron, skabooki..and mebe enviro-bear

 

As long as you're not paying homage to some fromage, then the pimpage shouldn't hurt your image.

 

Car Jack Streets and GTA:CW have pretty good radio stations.
