omg how could I have not thought of MGS straight away /shamed

hehe so many goose bumps!

The use of the Skrillex track in the Far Cry 3 'burn the fields' mission is probably the only recent one to make a real impact on me

ay was going to mention thins but though I'd get shouted at for the wubstep but it did fit the mission perfectly I felt

Fixed that..

This is my favourite piece of music from any game ever. A great chill out track I played after frantic PvP in EVE Online.

The Mass Effect games have some of the greatest game OSTs.

More recently, I really enjoyed the Assassin's Creed Black Flag soundtrack

 

[FARGO]

Fury3 music has always stuck with me. Same with Desert Strike/Streets of Rage.

Total Annihlation & the trailer music for Borderlands 2 (also used in Chris Ryan's Strikeback series on Sky).

Nothing happened. Plenty of modern games have great soundtracks.

There are plenty of new games with great soundtracks, as somebody has already said the Mass Effect series has some great music. I really like tropico's soundtrack, it makes you feel as though you are on a beach sipping a cocktail. But my all time favourite soundtrack is Hotline Miaimi's, absolutely brilliant.

Bomb the bass

Child of Light also has an amazing soundtrack. I don't get the OP, lots of games nowadays have superb soundtracks.

Sends shivers down my spine every time, that intro.

The first ME intro music was awesome... I sat there and listened to it for quite a while, it gives the impression that you're about to embark on something really special.

 

[DrToffnar]

Erm... nothing xD

You just have to look hard enough. Anything Devolver puts out generally has awesome music. Aswell as Supergiant Games ofcourse

Payday 2 has some pretty great in game music. It helps me get really into it when the action starts and the music changes to the faster paced techno.
