Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse
From the very first screen of the original on the Famicom Disk System, Castlevania has been known for absolutely bitchin’ jams. “Vampire Killer” is to chiptune what “Johnny B. Good” is to rock and roll, but the series’ legacy extends beyond 8-bit into the elegant melange of styles captured by Michiru Yamane in Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow and more. If there is a peak to Mount Castlevania, though, it must be Castlevania 3. Whether listening to the Famicom version bolstered by a unique soundchip in the cartridge or the stripped but not less spectacular NES version, these tunes capture every mood the series is capable of. “” rocks harder than almost everything in the series while “” lays down an absolutely irresistible groove. “,” the dusky theme that plays as soon as you turn on the game, is also the first moment that the music starts to hint at its potential for real gothic beauty.
Mass Effect 2
The original Mass Effect set the tone for BioWare’s three-part space opera with its ’80s action movie-inspired, synth-heavy soundtrack, but Mass Effect 2 is the game that took that concept and made it palatable to a wider audience while giving listeners bigger crescendos and more variety. The track “” is a great example, starting slow, mysterious, and electronic before evolving into something organic and genuinely thrilling to hear, full of a wide variety of instruments, percussion, and a chorus of chanting voices. And if the blockbuster inflection isn’t your thing, there’s the sublime tones of the galaxy map music to gently sweep you away on solar winds. Mass Effect 2’s soundtrack is so good, you really can’t help but speak in hyperbole about it.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 (2000)
Various Artists
Sony’s first Playstation console was a quantum leap for video games, with a CD-ROM drive that dramatically expanded the amount of data a single game could contain. This led to curated soundtracks that became as influential as the games themselves. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 is one of the earliest examples, with an adrenaline-fueled mix of punk and hip-hop that mimicked the skate-rat aesthetic and highlighted rap’s undersung impact on the culture. Naughty by Nature was next to Bad Religion; High & Mighty and Mos Def followed Swedish pop-punk quartet Millencolin. There’s even some nü metal and dub in there. Hawk’s playlist serves as a time capsule for both skate culture and a game-changing musical moment. –Matthew Ismael Ruiz
NBA Street Vol. 2 (2003)
Various Artists
NBA Street Vol. 2 strengthened my love of hip-hop. As an 8-year-old, there were days I turned on my Playstation 2 not even to play the game but just to surf through its soundtrack. It was mostly instrumentals, but I was obsessed with them all: Dilated Peoples’ “Live on Stage (Remix),” Lords of the Underground’s “Chief Rocka,” and even Benzino’s “Rock the Party.” My favorite was Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y),” because Pete Rock’s smooth blend of jazzy horns and head-knocking drums was like nothing I had heard before. Up to that moment, the rap I listened to was confined to whatever played on New York’s Hot 97 or BET’s Rap City, but Street Vol. 2 let me know that there was more out there, and I had to find it. –Alphonse Pierre
The Adventures of Batman & Robin
You know how the Mega Drive/Genesis had fairly paltry audio compared to the Super NES? Composer Jesper Kyd — layer of HItman and Assassin’s Creed fame — positively beat that thing into performing, and did so with one of the most original, distinct, and utterly banging soundtracks of the 16-bit era at the same time. Because Jesper Kyd does things like that. Throwing out the soaring, gothic, Danny Elfman vibe of the cartoon the game is actually based on, what Kyd actually produced is a , as fresh and arresting now as it was in the mid ’90s. It might not be in any way TV authentic, but as the actual sound of the inside of the head of a pathologically death-obsessed man who eschews sleep every night in favour of wanton violence, it’s pretty much perfect.
The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
You could pick any of the Elder Scrolls games for this list, really, as it’s impossible to go wrong with a Jeremy Soule soundtrack. We went with Morrowind, though, because of the way it effortlessly evokes the beautiful loneliness of that game’s landscape. Oblivion embraces pomp and Skyrim bravado, but Morrowind captures the quiet solemnity of your role as the hero standing alone against the darkness. It’s impossible to remember your time as the Nerevarine without hearing Soule’s elegant arrangements in your head, whether it’s the quick strings and horns that accompany an unexpected battle across the hillside (it’s always a goddamn cliff racer), or a cheeky little ditty that picks up your spirits as you wander down the road. Morrowind’s soundtrack is woven into the very fabric of Tamriel and gives everything you do there an air of gravitas. Even if it’s finding out what happens when you drink 600 bottles of skooma.
Silent Hill 3
Akira Yamaoka’s soundtracks—thick stews of rock, trip hop, industrial, drone, and more—are almost as famous on their own as the games they appeared in. When the furiously plucked mandolin gave way to beats, guitar and piano in the original theme “,” Yamaoka established a signature sound as unmistakable as Prince’s guitar or Dre’s beats. While Silent Hill 2 comes close, Silent Hill 3’s soundtrack is the crown jewel in the Yamaoka discography. The quiet, lulling strums of “” lead into a plucked counter melody that sounds like an afternoon nap as conceived by Joy Division. The shuffling menace “” uses cresting, looping piano to create an air of furious ecstasy that’s never given proper release. And then there’s “,” a rock song so pure you can practically feel Chrissie Hynde nodding in approval as it plays.
Street Fighter 2
The ambition of Street Fighter 2’s creative team is as inspiring today as it was in 1991. To make a game that gave players unprecedented control of eight different characters, each one with dramatically different physical characteristics, and then render those characters in animation and music as rich as what ended up in the game was unprecedented. That this was Yoko Shimomura’s first work out of college, her first stab at composing a wide variety of music, and her first time working with a technology like the CPS-1 soundchip makes it all the more astounding. Every track is iconic, rife with the international flavor of the game’s cast. “” with its rumbling percussion, the chiming bells and desperate tone of “,” the joyful pentatonic scale boogie of “:” every song is as evocative of its character and stage as it is pleasurable on its own.
DuckTales
It is convenient that DuckTales for NES is a super fun game, but its quality is hardly essential to success. DuckTales could have been a boring, unplayable monstrosity and it wouldn’t have mattered as long as Hiroshige Tonomura’s songs were still there. The rollicking pop of “” and the Rob Zombie-by-of-NES horror schlock of “” are the kind of righteous chiptunes that have kept this soundtrack famous for almost 30 years. Even the “Stage Select” jingle melody, a simple 8-note looping melody, is a sweet earworm that lodges in the brain. Its centerpiece, the utterly wistful “,” is the song that demonstrates why bands like Anamanguchi continue to use the NES to make music today.
Parappa the Rapper
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A dog wants to impress his ladyfriend, who is a flower, by becoming a hero. He does this by, among other things, taking karate lessons from an onion, cooking with a chicken, and trying not to poop himself while waiting for the bathroom. Parappa the Rapper is a glorious exercise in music rhythm game weirdness as you tap along in an attempt to master each song’s unique and absurd challenge. The gameplay isn’t overly remarkable, but the songs have real staying power: For proof, simply say “Kick, Punch” to a Parappa fan and their reply of “It’s all in the mind!” will be swift and guaranteed. Every track is a winner, but my personal favorite is the reggae-esque tune from the flea market. Just because the rhythm is slow, that don’t mean that you can’t flow. That is a great wisdom.
Nier
Nier made no sense when it came out in 2010 and it doesn’t make any more sense now that it’s become a cultishly adored tributary in the stream of PS3/360 RPGs. What happens when Square-Enix tries to make an action RPG that appeals to both east and west, with different main characters for each region? A bizarre, pastoral post-apocalyptic adventure starring a violent hermaphrodite and a talking book soundtracked by some of the most moving new age music ever written thanks to Keiichi Okabe. Calling Nier’s soundtrack new age is misleading, but it’s the closest categorization there is for its mix of soaring orchestral pieces, quiet Spanish guitar, and Emi Evans’ ethereal singing in what she describes as “.” “” sounds like a cut from Now That’s What I Call Music in the technologically advanced future of Middle-earth. “,” with its plucked guitar and shuffling doumbek beat, is the sound of crumbling buildings overtaken with vines. Raw magic.
Secret of Mana
In making his first soundtrack, Hiroki Kikuta bent the Super Nintendo soundchip in truly bizarre ways. Making his own samples and stretching his skills to make songs that pulsated with the same teeming life that marked Secret of Mana’s verdant visuals, the result is a soundtrack that not only doesn’t sound like anything else from the era but one that doesn’t sound like anything else on the hardware. “” is a ruminative mix of strings and piano that takes on an air of hallucinatory mystery when it opens with, of all things, whale song. Elsewhere songs like “Into the Thick of It,” whose sweet flute melody is driven by a synth melodica underneath, is the literal sound of climbing a giant tree that is the heart of the world. Timeless.
Halo 3
Halo 3 was the culmination of composers Marty O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori’s work on Bungie’s (now Microsoft’s) sci-fi shooter series. Sure, it might not be the game that introduced us to the famous Gregorian chant-laden theme we all know by heart, but it was the game that refined and expanded on it, while also providing us with some of the best backing music to Master Chief’s adventures. You might not know the track names by heart, but listen to “” or “” and you’re guaranteed to remember scenes of action and heroism, as one of the last Spartans fought to save the galaxy from darkness and annihilation. Spartans never die, they’re .

Katamari Damacy
Katamari Damacy wastes zero time getting weird, as its PS2 Memory Card set-up screen plays a stripped down, acapella version of its theme song called “.” What follows it is pure auditory joy — the musical equivalent of bathing in a sea of multi-colored jelly beans and rainbows. Combining elements of jazz and big band, electronic music, J-Pop, and piling on a heaping helping of strange, Katamari Damacy’s soundtrack could have been a total mess of genres and styles. But like the big ol’ ball of stuff the diminutive Prince pushes around, all of the music just fits together, forming one incredible, cohesive package. I bet you can’t hide that grin while listening to “,” or keep your feet from tapping to “,” or stop yourself from singing the bizarre lyrics to “.” Katamari Damacy’s tunes want to wad you up into its life, and it’s impossible to resist.

Streets of Rage 2
There’s a reason why Yuzo Koshiro’s name is front and center on the title screen to Streets of Rage 2 — it’s because he’s a god among video game composers. Taking cues from 80s and 90s action flicks, Detroit house, and the Eurobeat scene, Koshiro worked magic on the Genesis’ FM synth sound chip and crafted a soundtrack that’s equally appropriate for the sidescrolling beat-’em-up as it is at home at any dance club. The sounds like the theme to Lethal Weapon from an alternate universe, properly setting the stage for an urban beat-down. You could probably mix «»into a house music set and no one would bat an eye. And of course, who can forget «,» which will go down in history as one of the most memorable first stage tracks of all time? It’s one thing to listen to great video game soundtrack; it’s another to listen to one so infectious that you’re tapping your foot and humming its techno synth melodies long after you’ve turned your console off. Streets of Rage 2’s soundtrack isn’t just good video game music—it’s the very definition of fresh.
God of War
The new God of War is a powerful narrative that’s only exemplified by its stunning score. Composed by Bear McCreary (who’s also the brains behind the 10 Cloverfield Lane soundtrack), he uses instruments like the hurdy-gurdy to really evoke that ethereal, Norse vibe. And what’s better, if you already know the God of War series, you’ll spot some familiar bars:
«I took my memories of that classic God of War soundtrack – the deep choirs, pounding drums, and shrieking brass – and reinvented them for a Norse age,» writes McCreary. «I wrote new themes, and introduced to the music exotic instrumentation and languages from various Northern European folk traditions.»
The way it ebbs and surges with the action and emotion really builds the pace and power of the game. But it’s just as beautiful in isolation afterwards.
Fahrenheit. Одна из лучших игр 2005 года и один из лучших саундтреков вообще
Геймеры постарше отлично помнят, какой шум подняла на релизе вторая игра Quantic Dream. Все игровые издания взахлёб рассказывали о лучших моментах Fahrenheit, а геймеров ждали бессонные ночи: выключить интерактивное кино на самом интересном месте было почти невозможно. Творение Дэвида Кейджа (David Cage) совершило настоящую революцию в геймдеве, и OST запомнился многим игрокам. Самыми чарующими треками были, наверное, Santa Monica и Say Goodbye от группы Theory of a Dead Man. Многие надолго задерживались у магнитофона в квартире главного героя только лишь для того, чтобы сполна ими насладиться.
Конечно, под конец драматичный сюжет Fahrenheit скатывался во что-то невразумительное, да и на фоне Detroit: Become Human многие элементы старушки сегодня кажутся устаревшими, но вот саундтрек точно будет актуален всегда.
Cyberpunk 2077. Треки, которые сделали Сильверхенда великим
Как бы некоторые игроки ни ругали техническую составляющую игры, но закрывать глаза на отличный сюжет, крутые побочные квесты и отличный саундтрек никак нельзя. По радио в Найт-Сити можно послушать и драйвовый металл, и наивную попсу, и задорную электронику. Некоторые композиции надолго западают в голову. Например, Been Good To Know Ya умело доводит накал страстей в финале игры до высшей точки. Забывать не стоит и о треках группы Samurai, лидером которой был тот самый Джонни Сильверхенд. Он точно знал толк в хорошей музыке.
К слову, одним из ведущих композиторов выступил Марцин Пшибылович, ранее подаривший нам лучшие треки к «Ведьмаку 3». Даже удивительно, как маэстро пишет такие грандиозные мелодии и для средневекового фэнтези, и для неонового киберпанка.

«Ведьмак 3». Настоящий фэнтезийный эпик
CD Projekt RED переживает нелёгкие времена, но не стоит забывать, что не так давно разработчики подарили нам одну из лучших игр в истории и не менее впечатляющие дополнения к ней. Мы провели в «Ведьмаке 3» тысячи прекрасных часов, и нас не утомили ни геймплей, ни композиции, написанные Марцином Пшибыловичем (Marcin Przybyłowicz) и Миколаем Строинским (Mikolai Stroinski). Однако будьте аккуратны: есть вероятность, что знакомые мелодии заставят вас в очередной раз отправиться куда-нибудь на Скеллиге.
Очевидно, что композиторы вложили в свои творения душу. Просто включите The Trail или Silver For Monsters, закройте глаза — и завораживающий мотив унесёт вас в суровый, но от этого не менее волшебный мир «Ведьмака».
Eternal Sonata (2007)
Composers: Motoi Sakuraba, Frédéric Chopin
Content
In Eternal Sonata, the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin is on his deathbed. In his final hour, he dreams up a dewy, enchanted world in which he and a ragtag crew of companions unite to fight against oppressive rule. (The real Chopin suffered from chronic illness and died at 39.) The game features a small selection of Chopin compositions played by Russian pianist Stanislav Bunin, including the delicate “Raindrop Prelude,” which feels like an afternoon of quiet reflection, and the stormy, dramatic “Revolutionary Étude.” The rest of the Motoi Sakuraba–composed score includes jaunty strings, tranquil harp, and ominous horns that mirror the game’s dramatic emotional shifts. –Cat Zhang
Space Channel 5 (2000)
Composers: Naofumi Hataya, Kenichi Tokoi, Ken Woodman
Content
In the late ’90s, games like Dance Dance Revolution built rhythm-based puzzles around the frantic beats of electronica. Then Space Channel 5, Sega’s stylish entry into the genre, took the unexpected approach of setting its neon-soaked dance challenges to big-band jazz. As the 25th-century TV reporter Ulala, players investigate alien spaceships that force its captives to dance uncontrollably to the game’s swinging soundtrack. Its brassy theme song, “Mexican Flyer,” is an actual piece of ’60s ephemera by British composer and trumpeter Ken Woodman, who was reportedly shocked Sega would want to license it. Bless the space-age visionaries who did. –Eric Torres
Undertale (2015)
Composer: Toby Fox
Content
Five years after its release, Toby Fox’s Undertale remains a monolith among indie games. Inspired by Super Nintendo classics like Earthbound, this 16-bit role-playing game taps into a similar vein of nostalgia, casting you as a human child in an underground fantasy world full of enigmatic monsters. The score veers from frenzied battle themes and jazz-influenced cues to smeared ambient pieces and dramatic orchestral moments. Much of the soundtrack was produced with the bygone canned computer synthesis format SoundFonts, which lends it a retro charm. Fox handled composition in addition to developing and publishing the game, and as his deliberate motifs drift in and out of focus, you’ll feel as if you’ve heard these melodies before, in a dream or a forgotten childhood memory. –Noah Yoo
Need for Speed: Underground. Лучший саундтрек за всю историю игр?
Вероятно, саундтрек одной из самых удачных частей Need for Speed многие назовут лучшим за всю историю игровой индустрии, и поспорить с этим заявлением непросто. Electronic Arts, которая тогда ещё не стала корпорацией зла, наполнила Underground внушительным количеством великолепных композиций: от ставшей мемом «эрондондон» Get Low от Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz — до динамичных The Only от Static-X и Born Too Slow от The Crystal Method. Да что там, каждый трек в игре — настоящий шедевр!
К сожалению, EA не торопится с ремастером культовой игры, однако вспомнить былые деньки и свести себе олдскулы можно с помощью OST. Уверены, эти песни ещё долго будут звучать у вас в голове.
Shadow of the Beast
Of all of the Commodore Amiga’s achievements in the ‘90s, its vast library of excellent soundtracks is easily its greatest. The same goes for Shadows of the Beast itself. Although regrettably, undeniably duff as a video game, from an aesthetic perspective it’s a masterpiece. In fact it’s uniquely stunning, surreally ethereal art and music are the entire reason the game has a reputation today. Shadow’s looks and sound intertwine perfectly, but the latter remains entirely captivating in its own right. Layered, swirling, and constantly twisting toward dark, dreamlike places you’ll never expect, its complete otherness makes it one of the best fantasy soundtracks of all time in any medium.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Отличный саундтрек, за который игру даже снимали с продажи
Игры Rockstar Games всегда отличал впечатляющий саундтрек, но самый богатый достался, пожалуй, Vice City. Треков на радиостанциях было так много, что разработчики даже не уследили за лицензиями на каждый из них. Именно по этой причине игру пришлось снять с продажи (да-да, не только Cyberpunk 2077 удаляли из магазинов). Виной всему стала песня Майкла Джексона (Michael Jackson) Wanna be Startin’ Somethin’. К счастью, геймеры отделались лёгким испугом: неугодную композицию удалили, а игра снова стала доступной для покупки.
Подборка Spotify насчитывает аж 202 музыкальные дорожки. Такого богатства хватит надолго, а подходящие песни подберёт себе даже самый искушённый меломан.
