Some of you might've seen this Advice Mallard before, but I gave it a shot and the music really does help with concentration. All of the songs I have listed I play while working out, but If I have work to do I'll pop these in as well.

These are some of my favorites from recent games I've played. Obviously this list is not all-inclusive, and I'd love to see your suggestions of other kick-ass video game soundtracks!

Mass Effect

Lead Composer: Jack Wall (ME1&2)/Clint Mansell (ME3)

Normandy Reborn: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKXd4dxQ19w)

Suicide Mission: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTsD2FjmLsw)

The Fleet Arrives: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m-vRZnUFxg)

The Battle of Menae: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLawoP3jP5I)

The Battle for Earth: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68MKak8ohtE)

Half-life 2

Lead Composer: Kelly Bailey

Vortal Combat: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZRNd6osQrk)

Sector Sweep: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4hft34WRYw)

Universe at War: Earth Assault

This one might've flew under the radar for a lot of people, I only picked it up because it was so cheap, but I'm glad I did. Frank Klepacki (of Command and Conquer/Hell March Fame) put together the sound track, and it's an incredible background for IMO one of the best console RTS's out there.

Damage King: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCmCz4_tyT4)

Haunt: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpcLhbBJbKQ)

Devine Intervention: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKW7yGsCMxQ)

HELL MARCH BONUS:

Red Alert: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-gI_pFog0)
Red Alert 2: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WqwFhX6Cqg)
Red Alert 3: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3rGO2WhZGg)

Halo (3/ODST)

Lead Composer: Martin O'Donnell

Released: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXkwaCN4h10)

Behold a Pale Horse: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDSQbCYrXu0)

Three Gates/One Final Effort:(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QjeoWeBzhg) / (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIDR5ZBQBfo)

Air-Traffic Control: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2WNn4NnjnU)

Borderlands 2

OST by Jesper Kyd (Assassins Creed), Cris Velasco (Gears of War) and Raison Varner (Gearbox)

Bloodshot Ramparts:
(Normal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOzwPinlrjA)
(Extended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4FLi1DFYSc)

^My Go-To Music when I attempt a PR. Also a great lifting tempo for higher-rep work.

Southern Shelf Battle: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y4emYPQj5Y)

Three Horns Combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txc-CcdquvM

Edit: @MinaMooshie put together a playlist of these songs and others mentioned in the comments (http://8tracks.com/minamooshie/gamer-therapy). I advise others to check it out, and also upvote their page! :)

Fallout is my favourite.

WhatMyHeartHeld

Assassin's Creed 2's OST is probably one of my favorites.

Yes! That was an amazing soundtrack.

DrLeonardChurch

Excellent soundtrack. AC1's Jerusalem is also a great one to throw in the mix

Yōko Shimomura is a friggin genius. The Kingdom Hearts Theme Song still gives me goosebumps.

Gediness

Dearly motherfuckin Beloved.

EpicMagikarp

Played all KH games so far, the soundtrack is genius! Love these games!

mediaman73

Also movie soundracks.

JacenSolo

inception and interstellar are right up at the top for me. hans zimmer is a flipping genius. the modern mozart

n1njanacho

Halo 2 MJOLNIR mix is fantastic.

CommanderWilliamTRiker

Wasn't Steve Vai in that?

Yeah, they also brought him back for the Halo 2 anniversary Gungnir mix.

springer57

I remember Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin was in that game, but in instrumental form. So awesome.

GreetingsPrograms

That song in that game was just fucking perfect. So many good memories every time I listen to it

ohPigly

Metroid prime!

Metroid Prime - Full Original Soundtrack HD: http://youtu.be/tBq_SueS8oo

FlyingScotsmanYar

damn right brother, perfect tunes for exploring

tonycoolmen

Rockstar games usually have pretty good soundtracks. Red dead, and L.A. noire are two of my favorites.

CmonBenjalsGETLOOSE

Read Dead is awesome to study to

barbarian

I used to load up RDR at a campsite and have Marston just kneeling by a crackling fire with the music in the background. It was calming.

DRAGONITEVIKING

Channel X was really good in GTA V

Ragnos

No, Lowdown 91.1 is where it's at!

AFlyingPrius

Non-stop pop

It feels like every time that channel comes on The Rythm of the Night by Corona is playing

This is the rythm of the night!

channel X is my all time favorite. nothing better than driving around as trevor, f'ing things up meanwhile Black Flag is playing in the back

FeelCasual

Portal 2...

pjkix

http://www.thinkwithportals.com/music.php

ijustcantstop

Im a web designer. Listen to this soundtrack ALL THE TIME!

SinisterKid128

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Shadow Hearts, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Xenoblade Chronicles, AND Katamari.

11 years ago (deleted Apr 6, 2021 5:05 PM) |

Shadow Hearts was so good!! And that semi correct historical setting and happenings. Hng.

You remember when that old geezer made an airship and he's like, "What? It runs on nuclear energy. You split an atom. Easy."

gohanssj2

I do Xenosaga I OST all the time, it's perfect for studying. Katamari is great for when I'm trying to stay awake, though!!

One of my favorites is Katamari when I'm in a bustling city. It's ... so much fun!

lordcinnabonhelix

Omg yessss i love the chrono seried soundtracks! That black omen theme thoughhhh

Kid's theme and Arni Village theme still stirs weird emotions in me to this day.

ElChuyito

Hmm I wonder I what systems you had growing up..

Atari, Game and Watch, NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3. DS. Wii.

YourMotherApproves

Kudos! Chrono Cross is my fav OST of all time

Trigger for me, but only by a sliver. Probably b/c Trigger is the first game I ever beat by myself.

ImLosingMyEdgeToBetterLookingPeopleWithBetterIdeasAndMoreTalent

Katamari Damacy! Naaaaa naaa na na naa na naa na na naa naaa na na

EchoOfSnac

Can confirm, the series is beautiful. http://youtu.be/Nuvrg9g3PK4

csullivan

The main KD theme is amazing. Katamari on the Rocks, iirc.

progger2000

Just, so much fucking this

virim0

Any Command & Conquer game. Especially Red Alert 2.

well not any, the new ones (EA) have pretty lousy soundtracks. up to generals it's total bad ass

I forgot about those haha. Maybe a little bit on purpose.

xxPaulCPxx

There was a CD from a boxed set years ago I used to listen to that was JUST RA remixes. I rebuilt a car listening to the Soviets invade.

shamio

No World of Warcraft? I'm disappointed. My background music for writing since 2009 (I wish I could say since Vanilla).

Eruanne

Upvoted for truth. Best soundtracks ever. I listen to them even if just commuting to and from work/school.

KissThemForMe

WoW music is so beautiful. I don't even play anymore and I still listen to it.

Leftytheperpetuallyperplexed

except for the goddamned pandaren kazoo shit. Noooooooooooooooope

TheSteenalizer

God I always relapse during this time of the year...

Smolderos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpyInx0ldfo

Stiglet

The new Warlords music makes me cry tears of joy and sorrow at the same time.

UGH I love the WoW soundtracks. I am willing to share them if someone sends me a message! :D

I've actually never played WoW, but I'll be sure to check out the music!

WorldsSmallestMegaDick

They also have like 50+ tracks now for WoW.

YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67jr2tmyr1M Check out this one. Feels every time.

My favorite is Storm Peaks Day and Thunder Bluff

LordEcneralc

All wow music is awesome. The music from wrath of the lich king though got to listen to I believe it's the fjord I'll look it up on my cd 1.

Grizzly hills is where it's at. And Karazhan. And lament of the Highborne: www.youtube.com/watch?v=No6jHwe0QoQ

But they created the music by opening the back of a piano and playing the strings itself 2.

kuunsilta

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQFOLOur1jM

Also if you're going to look up wow music should look up the wrath of the lich king opening cinematic there's a song sung in the background

By a little boy, made to sound of innocents and purity with arthas father speaking in the foreground of how proud he is of arthas and of the

Man he knows he'll grow to be all over top of what arthas is now. Such a beautiful combo of what could have been and what is.

"When you were born, the very forest of elwynn whispered your name...Arthas" and that's why I love WoW it invokes such emotion.

My all-time fave; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8gdEHEBH4E I'll go to the zone, park somewhere, watch the aurora borealis and zen out.

that's how i am, except for i go to grizzly hills :D

StovepipeJohnson

Metal Gear Solid!!!

LadyWidebottom

Especially when you have been spotted and have to run up all those fucking stairs.

TyberosTheRedWake

MGS: Sons of Liberty as played by the London Philharmonic is on Spotify. My only tiny complaint is that it's *only* 4 minutes long.

JustHereForTheBooze

logged in at work to say I agree

Aurequin

But not Enclosure, unless you want to be sad...

OrganicallyGrownUnicorn

Especially "Twiligh Sniping". Love that track

TheWorldEndsWithYou

Shadow of the Colossus

Octavarioum

This OST makes the most mundane task seem like overcoming a COLOSSAL obsticle.

BlobbyJr

MrPickins

I get chills: http://grooveshark.com/s/Revived+Power+Battle+With+The/4uEbY3?src=5

And the non-battle themes are just as good or better!

It's so good

ballaBOSS

must play for everyone. i still get chills when you "disturd" a colossus. +1

type1diabeticwithnoinsurance

"Disturd"? Is that some kind of new colon cleanser? Get those turds out for good!

embiggenator

It's a hidden colossus. Once you see that blue glow coming from his butthole, you know where things are headed...

t1kt4k

Now I have to replay that game. The Opened Way is really an amazing song.

moogloogle

I love The Sunlit Earth <3

Revived Power is my favorite song. But every song holy shit it's good

beng98

Yes

UrbanManburger

The best

fsboroboto

Ico's You Were There and Castle in the Mist as well!

Aurenfae

Yes!!

johnsou

Played the whole game without sound. Later discovered its OST. Jaw drops further than Imhotep's in the Mummy films.

There is no other answer.

edyc292

Definitive proof that video games can be art.

both that and Ico are art and if we ever get it The Last Guardian

andrios

Deus Ex Human Revolution OST - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyG6YMLEWus One of the best imo

11 years ago (deleted Jan 23, 2018 1:25 AM) |

NexiKuro

It's a good soundtrack but in game is disappointingly underused compared to the previous games.

Jesusberry

i was waiting for this one

IdTheDemon

That fucking Tai Young Medical Penthouse gave me chills in game. Literrally Blade Runner perfection.

Also Hotline Miami - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKD-MVfC9Ag

vauhtihirmu

Original Deus Ex has a kick ass OST too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1oxIrAX39M&list=PL1C572B526934FD97

TheGirafe

Yes, these are the best ones, especially outside hengsha

doesthisbricksmelllikechlorophormtoyou

The icharus song. good lord LOOK AT THE GOOSEBUMPS

boostedmooseman

This game was beautiful all around, not the best graphics, but the art style/direction, music, story, still one of my personal GOAT games.

DetectiveJohnKimball

CritHam

Add Bastion OST its great.

780

d20critical

THIS.

SharksInSpace

Bastion was boring as fuck.

dchester

YOU ADD BASTION OST ITS GREAT

RobotCosmonaut

I scrolled through the list looking for Bastion. One of the best video game soundtracks.

silversquall

AS much as I know this will be downvoted. World of Warcraft and they symphony are amazing, in all their albums.

Blazzical

I was once at Laser Force for a birthday party, and we all played WoW, and everyone briefly stopped when the WoW Login music started.

herrswags

One of the best soundtracks of any new-ish game.

TheCapt

And Transistor. Same creator...go figure.

BigDaddyAddy

Twisted Streets was stuck in my head for about a month. Amazing soundtracks.

Katalliaan

I find the Bastion soundtrack sometimes distracts more than it helps because it's just that good. Especially Spike in a Rail.

OP DELIVER

Fejerro

OP just rages for a while...

TheWoodpeckerSighed

The problem with bastion is that some of the songs are so good you end up listening to the song instead of doing work.

Hugums

And Transistor! Same composer, same studio.

SgtoSunshine

Don't forget about Transistor

BrassKicker

Darren Korb is a god among men. Ok, I might be exaggerating just a bit. But not by much.

yellowrock

Also, look up the soundtrack to Bionic Commando: Rearmed. You're welcome.

wintermute93

I once took a take-home exam that included a link to Bastion's OST in the instructions.

Sqwuid

The Armored Core series is fantastic as well.

Add "An End, Once and For All" to the mass effect ones

Rolli13

Citadel DLC Soundtrack. That is all.

Yesss. Have you listened to the rap by Kabuto the Python? if not, its on youtube "Those Minerals"

EhhhWhatsUpDoc

Is there anything better than Castlevania SOTN? Serious question.

ADrinkGiver

Hell yeah, I listened to this all through finals week :)

GaiusOrpheus

Also for those who haven't heard, http://supergiantgames.bandcamp.com/

TheRealDurdan

This is on iTunes, paid for it and everything

Sonicman64

Agreed, and transistor as well.

ZinthenameoftheMeatball

Ether One is amazing!!

chaosofslayer

Never even played that game and I love the soundtrack

I've never played Bastion, but I've been listening to the soundtrack at work this morning and it's awesome! Thanks for the suggestion!

slapassnator3000

Yes! Really great game too

bigpapaslice

and transistor.

DaftTechno

Yes, and Transistor too.

EngineerZero

Try Unfinished Swan too. Very smooth

Probably gold soundtrack, will check when I get home. +1

DrOctagonapus

Hell yes. "Gon' build that wall up to the sky..."

MooseInShoes

This. Darren Korb is awesome. Add the Transistor soundtrack as well for a comprehensive , diverse experience.

Squeezit

And Transistor on that note.

AssumingDirectControl

A programmer friend of mine talked about how the Bastion OST was made. My friend was havering beers with the makers of the game when the 1/?

composer walked in, case of beer in one hand, guitar in the other hand and without saying a word, locked himself in a broom closet and 2/3

started writing anything that sounded good as he picked on his guitar. Thus greatness was born. 3/3

stormblind

Cannot recommend ththeoundtrack for endless legends enough if you like the bastion & transistor soundtrack; fits in perfectly!

Bastion and Transistor have the best soundtracks. Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett deserve way more attention.

138

Cantripme

fully agreed

SuperNintend0Chalmers

Came to the comments to post this :) Have a +1

Her voice is so beautiful. That's all I'm saying.

They released the soundtrack with "vocals" as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57cOmxB12XI

this! exactly this!

boxhead234

I am actually playing Bastion as we speak! (For the first time) is Ashley Barrett the singer in "Build that Wall"? Phenomenal.

fullstop

Yep

esp3on

Finished Transistor just yesterday. I completely agree. And played Bastion a long time ago as well. Great, great games.

enigmajade

Guild Wars OST (particularly Factions) will always be one of my favorites.

wakanitch

This one brings nostalgia to another level : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FBuxs6oxZ4

Factions had the best soundtrack of the original game, then Prophecies, then Eye of the North, then Nightfall. Factions = sublime.

Welley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6C6ZoMeBHI Dem shivers.

I was in the GW2 Alpha, and this is the song that used to play on the sign in screen. Absolutely gave me shivers every time.

So much love for Journey. He's amazing.

Yes! However, it's a port. They didn't fix any of the issues, camera angles, glitches. Still fun though.

FartedWhileMakingUpName

How bad are the issues?

They vary, controls being twitchy, poor camera angles, poor A.I. http://www.destructoid.com/review-jet-set-radio-234681.phtml sums it up.

Ah so it seems the controls weren't updated? If that's the only issue and it hasn't gotten WORSE controls then I'm in!

Sera's song is my favorite Tavern song.

ODST has gotten me through so many final papers. Smooth jazz crossed with adventure orchestral music makes me get shit done.

Burlybear45

OMG YES

isthatsmoothjazz

you rang?

Best Halo soundtrack. The. Best.

TheNamesWhiskey

Agreed

Silenceisbliss

It's worth mentioning that "Unforgotten" and "Siege of Madrigal" should be up there too. Unforgotten pretty much defines Halo for me.

IDidntThinkAboutThis

Halo 2's theme with Steve Vai is probably my favorite. Delta Halo a close second.

anakin1729

Thanks!

That soundtrack is pure brilliance. So many hours of studying at night made possible thanks to this OST. I love it.

Croaks

ODST was such an underrated game. I loved it.

Speaking of... looking to 100% the game soon, anyone interested in doing the multiplayer achievements?

AWKward42

plus nathan fillion alan tudyk and adam baldwin make it even better

I completely forgot they were voice actors!

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE CRYING IN THE CORNER WHEN I FINISHED PLAYING. OTHER PEOPLE LIKE IT TOO. OMG YES

H0V15

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!

ACatnippedKitty

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently writing a final paper, this soundtrack is putting me in a serious writing groove.

spooka47

Imma try this thanks for the suggestion

gooblaster

Typing the last of the final paper as I also procrastinate on imgur. I should probably stop.

Fenix117

Yes thinks like trying to survive on the streets of New Mombasa

WellIMightWantAFreeSample

But it makes you feel lonely... tried to listen to it after a break up, not the best in cheering you up. But still an awesome soundtrack!

OPsLover

Alone but strong

It's really music for when you *want* to feel lonely.

Yeah. Didn't think of that at the time :)

Skyrim.

OmegaTengu

Honestly, Skyrim doesn't do anything for me anymore, I've played the game so much, and the tracks are kinda boring for the theme.

JointChiefs

Leave the menu screen playing, everything you do feels epic as all hell. Felt as though I took a history altering piss once.

Rylanodory

jeremy soule.... great artist.

QuiteSatisfying

Anyway here's ragnar the red

Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead....................pause...................

And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade As he told of bold battles and gold he had made

theshoeminator

For real, dude. I'm always cranking up "Dragonborn", with the bass as high as my sad little stock speakers will go :D

Beeflikerotel

I was looking for this.. I love the music

Brolama

The Streets of Whiterun is by far the best soundtrack. http://youtu.be/qo3VAltxlr8

thrillingheroics

Seriously. Best video game soundtrack ever. The 4-disc version is worth. Every. Dime.

Althenias

I replaced my skyrim sound track with LoZ songs

ISuperBelieveInYouTadCooper

Skyrim and Assassin's Creed II are my go-to work soundtracks :)

igotafetishforlettuce

All day. Everyday.

zieg777

I made a pandora station based off Skyrim. 24/7 epic music

beansandcornbreadandgreens

i created a skyrim pandora playlist for work. now we have soundtrack fridays.

DoctorNirn

Every night when I go to bed.

Icra

Honestly, I prefer turning off Skyrim's music and putting on Wardruna.

WarJesus420

Great. Now I have to play Skyrim again.

BiologyforDays

omg yes that was my reaction at the end of the post.

bizzarro2102

MUSTARD JAR!!!

NiteFury

if you have pandora radio type in sykrim and it comes up with a bunch of awesome songs!

GRIZtheninja

NOT a good idea. Then I'll just feel like everything I'm doing is epic as fuck.

Vixen1416

during yoga my instructor played a song from skyrim. everyone else was lying there relaxed & i was imagining walking thru whiterun's market

MartialSpork

Skyrim + Rainymood

pastypalecanadianchick

I do all my studying to Skyrim songs, downside is it makes me want to play Skyrim

NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior

"Downside"

Skyrim is love. Skyrim is life.

Morrowind.

lily10110

Skyrim is my ringtone. It always kinda freaks people out in the store.... but once in a while a nerd will get it.

Dragonborn or Sovngarde?

Dragonborn.

Epic.

TwinkleTwinkleLittleShit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Q28EyCa1A that sound makes me wet in my brain

LuxEterna

The Elder Scrolls in general.

BenderBendingRodriguez

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBPwCmU0V-Q Thanks to this song i got pretty ripped rowing to it 4 days a week

thegr8rambino

oh yes

FuckitIgiveup

Secunda is a beautiful song

Danni293

Skyrim is one of my favorites. The first hour of the soundtrack generally gets me through all of my work.

Just playing Dragonborn, Sovngarde, Tooth and Claw, and The One They Fear get me through just about anything

nichtsneues

I used to listen to the entire 3.5 hour skyrim soundtrack when I studied for tests in college.

I listen to skyrim on my phone while playing skyrim... so there's that.

smulesghost

skyhymn

madmadders

Listened to it today while I wrote a 12 page paper on Indian politics...

Indian as in India or Indian as in Native American?

As in the subcontinent

What leads one to write about Indian politics?

final paper for a class

MrMcCrunch

ESO has a decent soundtrack as well

IncognitoPanda

I think overall, Oblivion has the more pleasing soundtrack

dudemeister2000

until that music of a fight scene starts and I'm terrified not knowing where the danger comes from (just like so many times in the game)

sillypinkpanda

False. Never focused when playing Skyrim. "I'm finally going to get this quest don----OH WAIT WHAT'S THAT?! THERE! IN THE DISTANCE!"

I commented more in the context that is has an awesome soundtrack!

catsanddogs69

Jeremy Soule just gets me

wishiwaswitty

He's from my home town. His dad used to sub for my band class and would play Guild Wars in his office "for the music". Awesome dude.

Timdog364

1/2 He got into a horrible car wreck while writing oblivion, shouldve died. He wasnt upset, but inspired to-

2/2 write one of the most beautiful video game soundtracks ever written.

He's like the video game version of John Williams or Hanz Zimmer.

TragedyAtSummerhall

Doesn't Hanz compose videogame ST too?

vehkiya

This needs more upvotes. Skyrim is not a game, TES V:Skyrim is a lifestyle.

If I could move there, I would. I hardly play the game anymore, just roam the wild.

KingGeorgeTheTurd

Recently started a thief/assassin character who roams the wilds. Highly recommend survival related mods

Thatsspirit

Oblivion.

Oblivion Symphony orcestra is to this day the most relaxing thing to listen to while studying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmp5fr4wUEA

I've got all of the Guild Wars soundtracks and Skyrim and I listen to this shit all day every day. I'm willing to share if someone wants! :D

dobbythehouseelf

The entire soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQeIYVM3YBM

i listen to this shit ALL DAY. makes mundane drafting feel like i'm selling 50 leather helmets to a potions dealer

thatfeelingwhenyoureallaloneandstillcanthavethatpineapple

Seriously sick reference brah

GarrettStopMotion

4 stam 4 strength leather boots....

I've got all of the music on my phone. Fickle love the song 'Sovngarde'.

I don't have enough room on my phone, so i split it into CD's for my car. First world problems, i know.

There's always room for at least 'Sovngarde', 'Dragonborn', and, 'The One They Fear'

Galdornae

Makes doing my taxes feel like dropping 80 iron daggers on the ground next to the blacksmith in Whiterun.

TwerkimusMaximus

Or makes you wonder what you've been doing for the last 5 hours when you catch yourself chasing deer around for no reason

haha. or why i've been breaking into my friends houses, stealing everything, and pretending they don't see me when i'm crouching

passionrain

I play it at work when opening and closing. MRW a customer walks in before opened and stops dead at the sounds. ;)

ClevrHandle

50 leather helmets you earned by killing giant spiders with shouting. > :0

Zer0th

Cause it grows chest hair on girls?

You know this... how?

There was a comment by a "girl" on youtube about that.

There's lots of 'girls' on youtube.

varrdak

Trust me, go listen to a two steps from hell soundtrack.

ah yes. people who like two steps from hell. see mom! i told u i wasn't alone!

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!

Avatar720

Pretty much this, especially for writing. With video game tracks, I tend to find myself pining for the game they're from rather than working

accipiter

I listened to the Archangel album more times than I could count. Nero (the song) is pure magic.

ProfessionalHugDealer

Try Sons of War, El Dorado, Skyworld, Black Blade. Also, look up audiomachine.

truueee!! I love heart of courage! Its mah fav.

I'm sure I'm not the only who feels like a hero in an epic novel while washing dishes while listening to that album >.>

a565371

Diablo II! Diablo II! Diablo II! My soul for that music!

Endante

Stay a while, and listen.

HQ Full OST Playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS8hMuHV7Sg&list=RDuS8hMuHV7Sg

Oh heheh, I already ripped all the music out of the game with an MPQ app., I just meant that music is worth my soul... facetiously.

RedFiveStandingBy

The Tristram track is my favorite from there.

Wasn't it better in D1 & D3?

I have all three versions of Tristram from the three games and I like D2's best.

BADASSartoo

i can't say if its Diablo 3 or Diablo 2 with an "!"

Yes.

Stage 2, when you first enter the palace, I would just stand there and let that music run all night while I slept. Absolutely amazing ST.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI4iHTR_FUM

Diablo 1 and 2 both had fantastic soundtracks. The second was better, I think! You hit the nail on the head.

vsviridov

Was just listening to that at work today :)

SeeHowItGoes

That's quite the recommendation. I'll go check that out.

PM me your soul... http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/diablo-3

LOL you would had been in the right. Even though music from 3 was the same composer, he couldn't top 2, it was just impossible.
