^^ I loved Parasite Eve, it really should have gotten more recognition. Can't remember any of the music, so I'll take your word for it (hey, its Square, when have they ever fucked up a soundtrack?).

FF 7 and 8 had the best music, 9 was a bit weak at times (though I love that sleepless city treno). 10's music was kind of minimal, but that was intentional, I beleive, to fit in with the dubs.

Chrono Trigger/Cross had the best music, CC especially. Yasunori Mitsuda is brilliant. I loved the home world map theme, when I first played the game and the old CT theme kicked in, it was such a wonderful dose of nostalgia

Besides RPG's... hmm. The Halo soundtrack can't be beat. Hell, just about everything in that game can't be beat. Half Life deserves mention, even though there isn't a lot of music in it, the tracks that are rock.

Can't really think of a lot more besides the usual suspects of RPG's.

It's a peculiar choice, but I'll mention Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Also, I loved a lot of the music in Final Fantasy X. It's a pity that X-2 tried to go for a trendier soundtrack, though the theme is gorgeous.

Reznor is on the case to do the sounds for Doom III as well. However instead of having a looped composition, the music is to react to your progress and situation in the game, bit like when you went off a massive jump in SSX and it applied a resonance filter to the music. Should be interesting to see what he and Id come up with this time.

i just saw the preview for Silent Hill 4: the Room and the last tune they play is awesome.


btw, i just bought a used copy of Silent Hill 2, it didn't come with a soundtrack did it?

I don't know, I would advocate something that makes the game seem "epic" like a faster paced game calls for something that gets you moving like "Blood is Pumping" (Voodoo & Serano) but something more team based and not as fast paced I'd go with some smoother sounds like John Fleming set on here

I like the music on Tom Clancy's: Rainbow Six series. (PC)

OMG none OF you have mention:

Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius. Check out FFVI Grande Finale and 02202002 Final Fantasy in Concert if you don't believe me. Those orchestrations are all arranged and conducted by Uematsu.

Just realized that UT2k4 has amazing music too... don't really notice it in-game, but if you go into the music folder and pop those bad boys into WinAmp you really appreciate it...
