    With the constant barrage of Humble Bundle-like deals, I've developed a bad habit of buying cheap indie games and only playing them for an hour or two -- if at all. Although I feel guilty when that happens with pricey...

    Elder scrolls, specifically oblivion and the super meat boy sound track. It gets real when the rapture dark world music comes on.

    killing floor has an awesome gaming sound track, but not good enough to listen to in my spare time.

    EDIT: and how could I have forgotten Diablo 1 tristram music..

    Civilization 5 has beautiful ambient music.

    I love all of the Final Fantasy series soundtracks. I think I own them all too ._.

    Just a few:

    Baldur’s Gate 1&2
    Max Payne 2
    Halo 1&2
    Deus Ex HR
    Black Mesa
    And … C&C Tiberian Sun

    So many great soundtracks out there. :)

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned Deus Ex 1's soundtrack, my favourite for sure.
    Also Black Mesa, Frozen Synapse, Samarost 2 and Faster than Light have epic indie soundtracks.

    Final Fantasy VIII.

    It's just simply the best soundtrack I've ever heard for a game.

    There are several for me but I want to give a particular shout out to 'KIng's Bounty: The Legend'. The music was epic and perfect for every particular area you traveled in. It really felt like I was actually there.

    Film composer Brian Tyler (http://briantyler.com/Site/Home.html) has some plenty of awesome soundtrack in video games such as Need for Speed The Run, Modern Warfare 3, and Far Cry 3. So whatever he compose is going to be my favorite. I'm a fan of indie-rock.

    If most games lived up to their soundtracks I'd be a happy man - so many great ones, a lot of which were MIDI/MOD types (Ultima 3, Star Control II, Blood, XCOM, etc.) More recently I've liked Burnout II, Left 4 Dead and a few others. Anything by Jeremy Soule or Jesper Kyd is typically outstanding. TES: Oblivion might rate as my favorite..it just doesn't get old, which is kind of astounding. I also liked much of WoW's music.

    Rainbow 6: Rouge Spear about 12 years ago. Was playing on a Pent II 400 mhz with 512mb of ram, 16mb video card lol. Seems like forever ago. Was good music. I forget the composer.

    Zelda, although just about any collection of Zelda songs is good.

    Defense Grid: The Awakening has some great music in it. In fact, I have several cuts from that game on my workout mp3 player.

    Oblviion is my all time favorite and the donkey kong country games are pretty good. Portal 2 has some good things thrown in there as far as a remember. Halo1- 3 has some nice pieces, everything after that in halo is just meh and generic.

    New farcry3 soundtrack is very enjoyable.
