It's almost been 2 months since we had a music related topic YAAAAAAAAY. This is a top 10 list. Pick your top 10 favorite songs and post them. Links to the songs (c'mon pretty much every video game exists in some form on youtube) are appreciated so we can enjoy your taste (or lack thereof) in music.
10: Deus Ex Theme - You sit through the little intro splash screen, listen to the music slowly build up, and then suddenly the game's logo pops up and the music kicks into this awesome crescendo. You're pumped and the game hasn't even started yet.
9: Pokey Means Business! - If this isn't the most epic boss music then I don't know what is. Starts out sounding like some 8-bit chiptune and then kicks into HEAVY METAL.
8: Porkey's Pokies - Continuing Pokey's kickass boss music from Earthbound, Itoi said "Let there be more chiptunes" and it was done.
7: Legend of the Hero - This right here... this is THE Legend of Zelda song. It destroys every other Zelda song, AND YES I mean Saria's Song and the Windmill Song COMBINED. The buildup to the violins playing the classic Zelda theme is just awesome. CONTINUE DOING THIS NINTENDO.
6: Baldur's Gate 2 Main Theme - Trumping Baldur's Gate theme song is the sequel's main theme. I was ready for hardcore dice throwing before clicking New Game. I can't be the only person who just sat and listened to the song fully before character creation. I just can't be.
5: Age of Wonders Air Song - One of the most underrated games of the decade, the AoW series had some great tunes that few games can touch in quality.
4: Dragon Quest VIII Overture - I love the DQ Overtures but DQ8, with it's fully orchestrated soundtrack, was made of pure win.
3: Castle in the Mist - As you can probably tell, I really really love strings. Ico's soundtrack was rocking even though the game was practically silent.
2: Hitman 2 Theme - The title screen to this game was absolutely hilarious. You've got this big, bald guy sporting two large pistols with super dramatic opera music in the game. Epic. Pure epic. I couldn't help but laugh AND be pumped at the same time.
1: Believe - The Witcher Theme - Beautiful theme song for The Witcher, my favorite RPG of the last 3 or so years. Absolutely LOVE the strings in this piece. Seriously, listen to this piece. Just listen MY GOD SO AMAZING JESUS CHRIST MORE QUALITY PC RPGS PLEASE.
