April 18, 201015 yr This song is what inspired me to start composing orchestral style music, and video game soundtrack music. Its from a free online RPG called Rappelz.
April 18, 201015 yr 1. 2. Morrowind 3. 4. Warhammer 40,000 (all of them, but especially the Marines Theme) 5. I put Journey's End at the top, because it inspired me to start composing, and it proved that free samples could make good music :)
April 19, 201015 yr Growing up with a gameboy and Ninteno 64, I thought that Mario, Zelda, and Kirby had incredibly catchy/well written tunes. Going back recently, I found that pokemon blue/red had surprisingly intense music and that Earthbound had some cool ambient tracks as well. I've heard really good things about Castlevania and Goldensun but I haven't played these games yet. Alas! There has been a lot of retro games recently that have some pretty awesome chip tune tracks like .Bear McCreary being awesome wrote an incredible score for . Being even more awesome, he wrote a chip tune for that which inspired NES style game Dark Void Zero. Both are excellentI know Smash Bros. Brawl doesn't count as original compositions, but it does feature a lot of original arrangements made just for the game. It's probably the largest soundtrack ever assembled for a game. God of War 3's soundtrack just grabs you and doesn't let go. Assassin's Creed II has a cool, heavily processed orchestral soundtrack. I haven't listened to Arkham Asylum but I heard it was really interesting and atonal. Neat topic! -John
April 25, 201015 yr I'm not sure. Perhaps earlier. A game I'm playing right now for the iPhone that has a really solid soundtrack is called Chaos Rings. It's developed by Square Enix and the composer is Noriyasu Agematsu. Never heard of him. Really solid, well orchestrated tracks. -John
April 29, 201015 yr My all time favorite video game soundtrack would have to be "Chrono Cross." Everyone raves about Chrono Trigger but I really prefer the music in Cross. Dont get me wrong, I love Trigger and its music, but Cross is more dynamic in my opinion.
