Video Game and Movie Soundtracks
Most video games you've played and will play will have a soundtrack, whether it's lurking in the background or blasting out and sweeping you away in the action.
The question is, which do you like most?
From orchestral Elder Scrolls to chiptune Fez, award winning L.A. Noire and Bioshock: Infinite to other-wordly Mass Effect, and not forgetting atmospheric scores for TellTale's games, there are many, many outstanding soundtracks.
So, which one takes your fancy?
Also, if you like video game soundtracks, you might like some movie ones too. Quite a few composers for video games have also done movies, and vice versa, so feel free to share those or any others!

Does GTA SA counts too? It mainly are Songs from known Artists but hey i loved to ride through the Countryside with a Motorcycle and K-Rose on. xD
Yeah they count! XD
I personally liked how Dead Rising 3 had 80's-like themes that played in the background during cutscenes.
Dishonored had a sweet ost too, specifically, the cover of the 'Drunken Sailor' song. Epicness.
That Drunken Sailor/Whaler is particularly haunting, though the whole game is in a way. Especially if you go for a Chaos ending. Looking forward to the sequel.

If it is at E3 we shall find out soon enough.
I think that's everything you need to know for now.
I don't suppose you've played Child of Light?
I haven't, but I have heard of it from my friend and various people. I'll probably do so if I had the time (*cough* life).
If you ever get the chance it's a fairly unique game.
It's a shame I don't have a PS3 to play Journey on
I'll have to look it up on Youtube, since the new game won't be out on the 360.
I've heard rumours that there will be a separate release for 360 and PS3. AC: Comet is a title I've heard mentioned.
It better be cannon to the series.
When did they do one that wasn't?
What I meant was, I don't want to see a game that has nothing to do with characters from other previous games.
The Witcher 2 had a really beautiful soundtrack. Really atmospheric.

Ah, I see. Other than rumours I haven't heard anything definite on it, so I suppose it's a wait and see.
Oh, I love this track; so enchanting.
I find Vergen by Night to be similarly calm.
Vergen By Night
Also a good one.
The first games soundtrack was great too. This track right here added so much to the atmosphere of the locale.

I never played the first game (the second I played when it released on 360), however that track by itself really conveys a certain brooding and darkness. Here's hoping they can capture the essence of these tracks with the third game.
