The Best Video Game Soundtracks of All Times

Music makes us laugh, cry, and feel a whole lot of things. Some video game soundtracks own, not a couple of sleeper hits, but an entire arsenal of gaming's very best music. Here are the games who's soundtracks left a lasting impression on the Punished Backlog Team.

It's not possible to compile a list of the "best video game soundtracks of all time" and not include a single one of genius Akira Yamaoka's Silent Hill scores. Every one of them is a masterpiece. Shame on you.

Comment in the article with a couple tracks of note. It'll be interesting to hear what you think in further detail.

You want people to comment on your page -don't make it so goddamned difficult by forcing them to enable cookies and so many scripts. I was about to say f*ck it after the fifth attempt in a 3rd browser.

The OST from Crisis Core: FFVII is so f***ing underrated!

Freedom Fighters #1.

Virginia has one hell of a soundtrack:

Yeah the soundtrack was the only good thing about that steaming pile of crap that is not even a game.

I really enjoyed it. A game that makes you think even after you finished it

Just another Japanese-heavy list like any other. I like a big, epic orchestral Japanese soundtrack as much as the next guy, but it's sad that games like Bastion, The Neverhood, The Secret of Monkey Island and Undertale (just to name a few) never seem to get as much love as they deserve.

If it's any consolation, Undertale got brought up a lot when we were discussing the list, awesome blend of that chip tune style mixed with some strong instrumental pairings.
