More and more im finding myself becoming majorly impressed by the OSTs in video games

My mind was blown during this track from

Max Payne 3 and was blown away yet again by the opening track very epic

Dead Space 3 this track really kicks in at 2.25 mark into epic stuff

Tomb Raider this music made this section of the game it takes place in even better

Yes! Even more impressive than film scores in some cases because of the interactive nature of gaming that requires "on the fly" transitions between music elements.

Nier has by far the best OST I've ever heard. I highly suggest checking it out immediately.

My favorites are the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy from the first PlayStation. The scores from the Ratchet & Clank series, God of War series, Tomb Raider series, and Donkey Kong Country Returns get frequently played on my iPod. My all-time favorite is the score from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I really wish the film score could have emulated more from this.

I've never really got into movie soundtracks. I've been more of a videogame soundtrack fan.

As a big fan of movie and videogame scores I have to say nowadays a lot of videogame scores actually exceed those of many high-profile blockbuster movie releases. Plus nowadays its a lot more common for movie composers to work on videogames.

A few examples:

Hans Zimmer – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Crysis 3, Skylanders
Brian Tyler – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Need For Speed The Run, Far Cry 3, Lego Universe, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
Trent Reznor –Quake, Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Ramin Djawadi – System Shock 2, Medal of Honor, Shift 2: Unleashed, Medal of Honor: Warfighter

Just a few examples, but that along with actors, directors and such working on videogames as well you really see a thinning line between films and games.

Jason Graves done the dead space 3 and tomb raider 2013 OSTs both I love


cannot wait to hear the last of us OST in the game its composed by Gustavo Santaolalla who is an Oscar winner

[sukraj]

the score for tomb raider is sweet.

[Insomniac01]

I personally think games have had scores of the same quality as films for well over a decade.
