So far I’ve been told to get Oblivion, Guild Wars, Vanguard, Shadow of the Colossus, and Odin Sphere. but i’m not really sure what else to get. anyone have any recommendations?
Okami is a great (although repetitive and unnecessarily long) one to check out, too.
If you have to choose one, though, go with Shadow of the Colossus. Boy, is that a good soundtrack. Coherent in themes and instrumentation while still containing an astonishing variety of moods, it is one reason to hold out hope that "good" video game music is still possible.
Lair isn’t too bad.
Heavenly Sword has a superb soundtrack. (Still waiting on a rip for HS)
Bioshock is fairly good.
World of Warcraft has a great soundtrack…especially The Burning Crusade.
The Witcher has a great soundtrack as well.
Viva Pinata….if you can find anything..
Maybe try Killer 7 and Lord of the Rings Online. Killer 7 may not suit what your looking for, but it has a few ambient tracks.
I agree with the previous post and the Okami recommendation. Also, as you’ve been told, Guild Wars and Oblivion are really great. Pretty much anything with Jeremy Soule is going to be good. (Get Morrowind too)
Its not new , but you can try if you havent
Odin Sphere
Mana-Khemia
Ragnarok Online (the new tracks)
Unreal Tournament 3 (the music is the best part of the game, actually XD)
Sonic Rush Adventure
Tabe
Guild Wars 2
Touhou
Dear Esther
Madoka
Les Miserables
