You can't debate this... after you've played MONKEY ISLAND
, you'll feel like all games are geared towards toddlers... the intellectual scope just isn't anywhere as developed.

Xenosaga was pretty good but I don't think it compares to Xenogears on the PS1. Xenogears may be my favorite RPG ever and it has a great soundtrack too.

i've been meaning to look into that, especially with so many people saying that.

Alot of the Megaman music is great from what I've heard. I wonder though... is there any metal bands that have covered any of the soundtracks? Some dudes covered metroid and that kinda cool.

Somebody did a cover of a Megaman song and posted it in that riff thread from back in the day

 

[Tyrmthaais]

I think the Minibosses did some Mega Man covers

 

[merci]

The Mechwarrior 2 soundtracks are my favourites. I share them on DC++ at Sublevels too.

I also liked the Dark Reign soundtrack a lot.

Fuck yes! Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries' soundtrack is one of the things that got me into metal.

Didn't Steve Vai do the soundtrack for Halo 2? That would explain the subtle wailing guitar note that seems to permeate every music track throughout the game....

Maybe they just gave some guy and e-bow and told him 'hold it next to the string'.

That might not be a 100% correct, but I don't think Steve Vai had anything to do with it.

Has anyone heard the music from Diablo(1), the one that plays in the town level? Well, I like it alot and it´s kinda similar to the opeth-folk songs, like requiem. Does anyone agree??

 

[Ermz]

The Tristram music? If it's the same song they used in Diablo 2 then hell yes! I love the acoustic stuff in that game, really sets a dark mood much like Opeth does. I totally agree with you.

Lineage II and Morrowind have excellent soundtracks too.

I love video game music final fantasy always has good stuff, actually Iv'e started making music for small indie games, probably nothing you'll ever hear about, it's usually like three to six people working over the internet on halflife rip offs or small puzzle games

good call haggard. yes. but i think he only did bits and pieces. at the end i heard some guitar tone that i thought sounded familiar. then the credits came up and....there you have it.
for all you nerds out there, Laura Prepon and the chick from S.W.A.T. were in it too. thought i should tell you.
