25 Best Videogame Soundtracks!

Talk about the lastest in Nintendo, X-box and, if you can afford it, Playstation. Don't forget about PCs and handhelds, but if you go old-ass Atari on us, we'll cut you off at the knees.

25 Best Videogame Soundtracks!

Post by BEES » Thu Jan 13, 2011 11:56 pm

So we've ranked the games themselves, but what about the music? It's just as important! I'm making this 25 instead of 10 because honestly there's too much for 10.

Now to think about my list...

oh yeah I'm linking everything

25 - Skyroads
24 - Gunstar Heroes
23 - Super Meat Boy
22 - Total Annihilation
21 - Dynamite Headdy
20 - Guardian Legend
19 - Kirby Super Star
18 - Penguin Adventure
17 - Castlevania 3 JP
16 - Sim City 4
15 - Streets of Rage 2
14 - Starcraft: Brood War
13 - Ristar
12 - Homeworld
11 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time!
10 - MegaMan X3
9 - MegaMan 9
8 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles
7 - Street Fighter 2
6 - Jazz Jackrabbit
5 - Thunderforce AC
4 - Guilty Gear X2
3 - Killer 7
2 - Sonic CD JP
1 - Thunderforce 4


So... yeah. There's some 16-bit bias (as in... 90% of the tracks, and then 2 of the 4 modern soundtracks are retro stylized) But you can all help with that!

I wasn't going by individual tracks, more like the game's overall soundtrack, but whatever.

Great list!

Ah, Command & Conquer... was debating to put Mechanical Man on mine somewhere.
