    The End Run in Mass Effect 2
    Hell march from Red Alert
    MGS main theme from Metal Gear Solid
    Trisection from FF tactics
    Vamo Alla Flamenco from FF9
    Exceeding love from Suikoden 3
    Small two pieces from Xenogears

    I've got a lot more favorites, I guess. But I really like video games OST. Although most people don't really like them, like I'm the wind from Sotn.

    Bringing this back from the dead again ^__^

    Those of you who play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. should enjoy this. I love the campfire guitar songs.

    My favorite soundtrack: Mirror's Edge. The clean audio matches perfectly with the game's visuals.

    Homeworld and Homeworld 2 soundtracks :D. I love the Agnus Dei version of Adagio for Stings.
    Almost broke my heart when i got back to the homeworld burning and that song was playing ;)

    As far as console games go: Uncharted2, Okami (one of the few games i noticed the soundtrack while playing because it was good, might not listen to it outside the game but it really added to the game itself).

    You mean HM2? Red Alert 1's Hell March was much better IMO.

    Your video contains requires a plugin that doesn't exist...?

    Anyhoo, here are several awesome tracks to a not-so-awesome game known as BlaZeon:

    Stage 1 (Arcade version)
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9HaTZvpCq4w?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9HaTZvpCq4w?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='425' height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

    Stage 1 (Super Nintendo version; very low quality though :()
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3OS5pGyG8IA?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3OS5pGyG8IA?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='425' height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

    Ending (Arcade)
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UO7YPViM05s?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UO7YPViM05s?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='425' height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

    Ending (SNES; much better quality :))
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IqyYqhRpoLQ?;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IqyYqhRpoLQ?hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='425' height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

    NOTE: If you're embedding from youtube, make sure you get rid of "version=3& amp;" string in the embed code; otherwise, the embedded video will be missing the cursor:
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IqyYqhRpoLQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IqyYqhRpoLQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='425' height="25" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

    Do intros count? Just about any song from the Grand Theft Auto series counts in my book.

    Just to share some music from xenoblade, it really has some tracks that exceeds even chrono trigger or final fantasy. They have like 6 composers just for the music for this game.

    Main Theme
    If you've played the game, the music more or less retells the emotions of the game.
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3EOgnYJJtjo?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width='480'></embed>

    Anger, Darkness of the Heart
    Very emotional music that fully expresses the pain of the characters.
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GOJJ5vTSTeE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width='480'></embed>

    Reminiscence
    Feels of sadness and loss, with a very beautiful melody.
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TZfIkwbcXyo?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width='480'></embed>


    Those Who Bear Their Name
    Boss battle music, probably the best battle theme I've heard in any game.
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/V4vCEHpv6Hg?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width='480'></embed>


    Mechanical Rhythm
    Another great battle music, with even faster pace.
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yeqzJQnef5w?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width='480'></embed>

    - Phantasy Star Series
    - Final Fantasy Series (older ones)
    - Street Fighter Third Strike
    - Streets of Rage 2
    - Heroes III
    - Total Annihilation
    - Sonic
    - Zelda

    All in all, SEGA had the best video game music composers.
