My favorite video game Bgm would have to be (Of course) from a sonic the hedgehog game! (My favorite from Sonic Adventure/Sonic Generations) Spoiler [video=youtube;qH_MCPcjxP0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH_MCPcjxP0[/video]
The background music to Armored Core: For Answer was excellent, in my opi- You know what? No. Not just in my opinion. This is absolute. It's a f***ing excellent soundtrack. Google it up.
The song "Abducted" from inFAMOUS 2. I like it when it gets around 0:50. Spoiler [video=youtube;PIrf6orX59E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIrf6orX59E[/video] Also a number of Mass Effect songs tie up there too. The Normandy Reborn especially.
This. One of the most beautiful pieces of video game music ever IMO. It obviously plays during an emotional scene, and sometimes it will catch me off guard and make me tear up. EDIT: Especially around 3:05-4:00 because that's when Spoiler Tidus hugs Yuna after she falls through him when he's disappearing SO MANY FEELS
I concur with almost any Armored Core soundtrack being excellent. My favorite is definitely The Legend of Dragoon. Here is a sample song. [video=youtube;atN_hSCAYaQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atN_hSCAYaQ[/video]

I can'te choose favorites :/ I do enjoy anything from TWEWY, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and The Legend of Zelda.
[video=youtube;6miaTf1gF4g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6miaTf1gF4g[/video] The MGS Soundtracks (Excluding MGS2 because nothing is memorable there >_>) are my all time favorites. Nothing can ever come close to beating them, for me anyway.

Oh boy, here we go. I love soundtracks that are unique and not just generic orchestral pieces. Not to say that orchestrated soundtracks are bad, but most just sound the same in my opinion. Not enough unique melodies. Here are some of my favorite songs from video games. Spoiler: Silent Hill [video=youtube;Xx1XJycgU4I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1XJycgU4I[/video] [video=youtube;5w75r3gP45Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w75r3gP45Q[/video] [video=youtube;ergV_sOvFEg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ergV_sOvFEg[/video] I love all of the Silent Hill soundtracks. They are simply amazing. Akira Yamaoka is a genius. Spoiler: FFXIII [video=youtube;FiryjP_EeAU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiryjP_EeAU[/video] The Promise from FFXIII has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. The piano melody in the beginning is just... so great. [video=youtube;xfu0XBf8kmk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfu0XBf8kmk[/video] Blinded By Light easily has to be one of the best battle themes from FF. It is uplifting, inspiring and empowering. [video=youtube;7fqyzM5vxaM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fqyzM5vxaM[/video] Okay, so it's from XIII-2. Whatever. It's still good. Spoiler: Mass Effect [video=youtube;yVm_ljDSdwA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVm_ljDSdwA[/video] If there is one thing I love about Mass Effect, it has got to be the mixture of 80s synths and orchestrated pieces [video=youtube;Lpu5cTk_qvI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpu5cTk_qvI[/video] The Uncharted Worlds theme from Mass Effect has to be one of the most memorable songs in the history of video games. [video=youtube;ESALWTWHUeI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESALWTWHUeI[/video] The scene associated with this track breaks my heart, and that is one thing that makes this song so good. [video=youtube;w097Q0fZE-A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w097Q0fZE-A[/video] My favorite song from the ME trilogy. It is originally played near the end of the game in the original Mass Effect. It makes a comeback in ME3 and is played during the happiest and most heartbreaking moments. How a song can evoke two emotions that are polar opposite astounds me, but this song does it perfectly.
Oh, I can't believe I forgot about this. Another soundtrack I truly love is the Zone of the Enders 2 one. [video=youtube;zPsX0ceeqB0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPsX0ceeqB0[/video]
I have to agree with this fine man right here, MGS has some amazing music. The only video game music I listen to regularly (outside of the games themselves), are songs from MGS. Especially "The best is yet to come" and "Calling to the Night", those are some of the best songs of all time.
There's nothing fantastic about these tracks, but I love listening to them [video=youtube;TQriRKm4poU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQriRKm4poU[/video] [video=youtube;jBSjO_KJ80M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBSjO_KJ80M&feature=related[/video] [video=youtube;udcoBzFqfuo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udcoBzFqfuo&feature=related[/video]
