Posted May 23, 20169 yr comment_235253 In video games, music plays a big part. We remember many themes such as 'Super Mario Bros.' or 'Angry Birds'. These days we have many orchestrated video game themes which we associate with the game itself so we end up loving the theme, even if it's a genre we normally hate (I like orchestrated music normally). My favourite video game for music is Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, much of it is orchestrated and it just sounds amazing. The music is taken very seriously in this game (unlike other Mario games (except Super Mario 64)). Here's the credits theme for Super Mario Galaxy (1): I am aware that there are many other video games themes which people may think sounds great so just post pretty much anything about video game music.
May 23, 20169 yr comment_235254 Great shout for a thread! Okay so obviously I'm a huge fan of Bethesda and their games. Fallout 4 has some incredible soundtrack...but then again there's also Skyrim. Honestly can't wait for the day it becomes backwards compatible for XBO! EDIT: Also gonna leave this here...
May 23, 20169 yr comment_235256 AHEM but this is the greatest musical creation in history and also a shout out to the Mario And sonic at the 2012 Olympic games music too because I can never get it out of my head as I must have played this every day when I was ten/eleven
May 23, 20169 yr comment_235259 There are some great soundtracks out there, but my love for video game music came during the chip tunes era of Commodore 64 and later; the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis). A personal favourite of mine is Stage 1 of Streets of Rage: https://youtu.be/5bf-EGuMfag Partaking in geekery since 1985
May 24, 20169 yr comment_235315 Thought I'd plug two more in: They say a remake is never better than the original, but as much as I love the main theme for Fallout 4, it is pretty debatable once you've heard the Spinner remix: Also, definitely agree with Equoaster's appreciation for the music in Super Mario Galaxy. I've always known that game to have some incredible orchestra...particularly Gusty Gardens Galaxy. Honestly it makes me so happy to own a copy of both games
May 25, 20169 yr comment_235372 Sorry but Wii sports Resort is the only one for me, wii sports can go rot at the bottom of the box where I store my wii games. Ah, the memories.

Honestly it makes me so happy to own a copy of both games I'm just glad that I have the Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack Platinum Edition. I got it from Club Nintendo using points, now Club Nintendo no longer exists so to get it you'd probably need to spend about £50 on ebay or something as they're limited in numbers. Just hear the soundtracks whilst playing the game, the music isn't the only reason Super Mario Galaxy is my favourite game though
May 25, 20169 yr comment_235420 Love the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack 2. One of my favourite soundtracks is Donkey Kong Country 2, in particular Stickerbrush Symphony. Also love the music from Legend of Zelda and Banjo Kazooie series. Guess I'm a bit of a Nintendo fan
May 27, 20169 yr comment_235504 'The Part Where He Kills You' is undoubtedly my favourite chapter in Portal 2. Really does take me to the edge of my seat...partly thanks to the music: ...and totally not forgetting the other reason why I love this chapter...especially if it's your first time playing GLaDOS: "Well, this is the part where he kills us..." Wheatley: "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!" *Chapter 9: 'The Part Where He Kills You'* *Achievement Unlocked: 'The Part Where He Kills You'*

Ah, the memories. Never had resort tbh. Got the original with the Wii in 2007. By the time Resort came out I had my XBOX 360 I think.

May 28, 20169 yr comment_235561 Excuse the double post. Most of you may know I'm a huge Gorillaz fan...and only recently I found out this song featured in FIFA 11. And as I'm here...
June 2, 20169 yr Author comment_235873 From my favourite Wii U game Xenoblade Chronicles X I just love the Sylvalum theme, it is just amazing to listen to: I won't be surprised if no one has played this game.
April 28, 20187 yr comment_257691 Hardest choice ever - picking out one track from the whole game Seriously tho it was between this and N-Brio from the first game
May 24, 20187 yr comment_258211 Musical heaven. Pick any track from Tropical Freeze and its just beautiful.
August 17, 20187 yr comment_259472 It's almost disturbing how much some of the For Honor soundtrack sounds like theme park music, especially Wicker Man
