Some of my favorite music from games. I feel like these games were overlooked, in some cases they're of a niche genre, limited release, overlooked and just plain old. Hopefully some of you will enjoy the music as much as I do and search a few of these games out.

It is so awesome to see Jason back in a game. Warner Bros. Games today released a new MultiVersus cinematic launch trailer revealing Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th horror movie franchise and Agent Smith from The Matrix film series as playable characters coming to the free-to-play platform fighter videogame.
Take-Two Interactive states their edict on microtransactions has been to over-deliver on content, and the monetization will follow.
To be fair, while GTA Online is monetized heavily both GTA Online and GTA V offer a massive amount of content without paying anything extra. Though I do think GTA Online's optional subscription is bullshit.
Can you please focus on delivering enough quality content to justify the $70 asking price? While I appreciate the idea of over-delivering, it's essential to ensure that the base content itself is worth it. I have concerns that GTA6 might have less single-player content because most of the focus seems to be shifting towards online play and microtransactions.
It's understandable why publishers are capitalizing on microtransactions when they generate billions with relatively little effort compared to traditional content creation. We, as consumers, are partly responsible for this trend. I've seen people spend on FIFA cards as if it's a normal part of the game. Previously, features like player cards and big head mode were earned through gameplay or cheat codes, but now gamers are willing to pay for them, so publishers have no reason not to monetize these features.
It's astonishing that the gaming industry is now more profitable than any other entertainment sector. Yet, despite record-high profits, the industry continues to see increasing levels of greed. It's baffling to hear about record profits followed by significant layoffs of developers. This disconnect makes no sense.
I know it’s unlikely given the size of the industry, but it might take a significant downturn for things to reset. Currently, there are too many decision-makers who lack a genuine understanding of gaming, focusing only on financial spreadsheets. A prime example is Andrew Wilson, the CEO of EA.
It must be a nightmare working at Rockstar in a Production role...dealing with the team egos and those of the V suite. #soulcrush
Take-Two head honcho Strauss Zelnick states every time they establish a price, they want to make sure it's "good news for consumers."
It's the why we close servers after 2 years, why we re-use the same assets every year, and why we bundle our game with enjoyable microtransactions.
what about Two Steps from Hell - Heart of Courage from mass effect 2
or from metal gear solid
My personal addition would be:

Really great classic remix done by the peeps working on Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Great picks btw.
Great tracks. Was always a fan of rpg music. Thanks for bringing these up since there's a lot of stuff out there I'm not aware of. Gonna look up Albert Odyssey and Sakimoto's old works.
My favourite music from a game, even to this day, is from the 8-bit era - http://www.youtube.com/watc...
The sound Rob Hubbard could get out of an 8-bit machine is incredible.
