Favorite PC Game Soundtracks of All Time

"I'm a medieval man."

(Not really the best track on the OST, but the climactic end of the track is pretty good.)

(Partly relevant: I mixed this soundtrack with Shadow of the Horned Rat for an album.)

Pharaoh/Cleopatra - probably one of my favorite soundtracks of a game.

Homeworld - Adagio for Strings "Agnus Dei" (definitely)

Europa Universalis II - (and never duplicated) "In Vernali Tempore"

The various instrumental versions of Civil War songs in Civil War Generals 2: Grant, Lee, Sherman are very nice.

The menu theme from The Great Battles of Caesar. One of the most memorable menu themes in any of the games I've played, it gets you in the mood right away.

The Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret soundtracks are awesome as well.

^I very much regret never playing the Crusader games :/

Listening to the original Diablo soundtrack right now and it is awesome.

Hands down Age of Conan for me. I still play it at volume once in a while.

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War soundtrack always stands out to me. Many games, I over time ended up turning off the soundtrack while playing. Never with the Warhammer 40K series.

+1 to Mass Effect, Skyrim and EU2 soundtracks already mentioned.

Some of my favorite music is from games. Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind all come to mind...

Yeah, the Elder Scrolls themes from the last three games have to be among the best. There are some awesome versions done by very talented musicians on youtube.

My favorite though?

The original DOOM theme played through a Roland MT32 synthesizer or an equivalent top-notch emulator.

The MT32 is pretty good with the various Monkey Island soundtracks as well.

I really like the soundrack of the new Master of Orion game:

Endless Space 2:
