So I was just wondering if you have a favourite track from a game. Just how important is it to have a solid soundtrack to a game? See I've now got over 3000 tracks on my mp3 player played from games alone. I never appreciate music at the time when I play through a game for the first time I'm always focused on how to complete the game first. Do you appreciate music when you are playing through a game? An example of just awesomeness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-9my0tsutw

I've got quite a few game soundtracks on my phone they're great for cheering me up on my commute. At the moment I've got Deathsmiles arrange which makes for crazy listening on the tube! I've also got some Silent hill (bleak), the soundtrack from Shatter (which is fantastic) but my current favorite is the soundtrack from Fast Striker by CJOE & KEYOD, its just BRILLIANT. -
Saw this & instantly thought of Shatter and secondly, and this isn't a game soundtrack at all, so a tad bit off topic but Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' album - when that got released I used to play Super Stardust with that as the soundtrack constantly. Went with the play great too.

Another track I just thought of for purely nostalgia reasons is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT7g04UdQys&feature=related I would really like to actually know what music makes you nostalgic when it comes to games you have played over the years?Comment

Music in games is more important that visuals for me. I love many a game soundtrack or sound effects.Comment

^ Completely agree with you I've always thought music and sounds effects in games are more important than visuals.Comment

Always had a soft spot for this, probably because I spent so long on this stage of the game. I used to lend my cart out all the time and my friends would become completely hooked, but they'd always, always save over my cities. Basts.
I love Space Giraffe, so I'm currently listening to this a lot on my MP3 player as well:
Jumping on the Shatter bandwagon too:
And, of course:
... all of which are kind-of funny, as they're not really like any non-game music I usually listen to. They're just the perfect accompaniment to those games, and listening to them gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling of playing. Except Streets of Rage, where the urge to punch fellow commuters grows when it pops up on my playlist.

Gosh I've not played Space Giraffe but that tune is immense! Reminds me a bit of Future Sound Of London, I shall purchase forthwith.Comment

I've not really, really liked a game soundtrack for years. It's really obvious in fighting games, SF2 and Tekken 3, some of the KOF series and others had loads of great tracks which you often didn't get sick of after thousands of times hearing them. No recent game has had that quality, for me. Just my opinion. Can only the 360 allow you to do a custom soundtrack for any game? I used to just rip my favourite game and film soundtracks and then play them instead of the bland crap that came with most modern games. From what little I got to play of Child of Eden before my 360 gave up the ghost, the music was laughably bad, perhaps it improves later on in the game... The 'vocals' were terrible.Comment

Are we allowed to mention sites like Galbadia Hotel on here? That's chock-full of gamey music/sound fx, got a good few spot fx off there to use as text tones.
PS: Mods, please delete if an inappropriate suggestion.Comment

Totally agree on the music over visuals front, so many games today just churn out generic movie like soundtracks. For me anything Jesper Kydd touches is pretty much gold. My favourite soundtrack this generation has been from one of the best games this generation, gives me tingles:
Proper menace:

Here is a link to my Spotify game soundtrack thread.
I will update this with a Grooveshark link thread at some point because Spotify is for hookers.Comment
