The 30 Best PC Game Soundtracks of All Time

Posted 01/10/2012 at 12:20pm | by Dan Scharff and Gordon Mah Ung

Game soundtracks get no respect. Not to sound like Rodney Dangerfield, but despite years and years of amazing music coming from games, gaming music is often treated by the public the same way your mom treated your 3rd grade art project. A dismissive pat on the head and a "good work, Danny, this is beautiful!"…followed by it being promptly buried under calendars, grocery lists, and "real" art on the refrigerator.

Things have been particularly rough for PC soundtracks where, due to a lack of audio hardware uniformity, music in the pre-CD audio era was a wildcard at best. Hell, even well into the late '90s there was no guarantee a PC even had a soundcard. Still, despite the limitations, we're not ashamed to say we not only respect PC game soundtracks, we flat out love them! The good ones at least.

Comparing soundtracks from different genres and different eras is extremely difficult and entirely subjective, which is exactly why we didn't compare them: The 30 soundtracks are listed in no particular order. Only one "rule" applies—we're only referring to original compositions here, licensed soundtracks need not apply.

Make sure to click on the game name / composer to take a listen over at youtube, and let us know your favorites in the comments.

The 30 Best PC Game Soundtracks

View the full image

Bastion - Darren Korb
When talking about Bastion's audio design, most of the praise goes to the fantastic narration, however, the soundtrack may be the real star of the show. A joy to listen to, the soulful, Folk-Western inspired compositions are dripping with as much color and richness as the game's much-lauded 2d backgrounds.

Unreal Tournament 99/2004 - Michiel van den Bos (99), Will Nevins (2k4), Kevin Riepl (2k4), Starsky Partridge (2k4)
For a multiplayer experience as fast and frantic as the Unreal Tournament games, you need music that's able to match that energy and intensity. The UT soundtracks easily rise to that challenge, and provide quite possibly the best music ever for rocket jumping, telefragging, and DOMINATING!

Shatter - Module
Much as we enjoy Shatter the game, it's a shame that such an outstanding soundtrack is tied to a simple Breakout clone. One of the best electronica albums—not just in game soundtracks, but of all time—Module's driving bass lines, soaring guitar riffs, and complex, multi-layered synth harmonies make great background music for just about everything, from working out, to writing articles about video game soundtracks. Daft Punk eat your heart out.

Heroes of Might & Magic III - Paul Romero, Rob King, Steve Baca
I have a confession: I'm a recovering Heroes 3 addict. I've probably clocked over 1,000 hours in the decade plus I've been playing it. And in all that time I never turned off the music. Never. And as impressive as the symphonic arrangements remain 10+ years later, this soundtrack was simply mindblowing back in 1999.
View the full image

Quake - Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails
Quake made big waves back when it launched in 1995. In addition to basically writing the book on FPS level design and multiplayer, they also managed to land an actual rock star to compose the game's music: Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor. Reznor's work on Quake is some of his finest, showcasing gritty, industrial hardcore ambient tracks for the first time in gaming.

Left 4 Dead - Mike Morasky
You know what you want if the world and everything you know and love is dead and you’re stuck with three random strangers fighting for your lives in an apocalyptic zombie world? A great freaking soundtrack written by Valve’s in house composer, Mike Morasky, who scored both L4D and L4D2. That’s why we’ll be sure to stock our bug out bag of MREs, medpacks and 12-gauge shells and an MP3 player loaded with a Morasky’s Left 4 Dead theme.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Jeremy Soule
The Elder Scrolls games are big damn games. And Skyrim, with its dragons, giants, and Nordic sensibilities is the biggest, baddest Elder Scrolls game yet. Skyrim's soundtrack showcases the pounding timpanis, blaring horns, and all-male Viking choir you'd expect from a game of such epic proportions, but also mixes in a surprising number of quieter, more sensitive tracks—best for moonlit walks across snowy forests.
View the full image

Deus Ex - Alexander Brandon, Dan Gardopée, Michiel van den Bos, Reeves Gabrels
While not all of the original Deus Ex's audio design was best in class—hell, the over-the-top stereotypical accents may have set back racial relationships a good century—Deus Ex's music is top-notch. This seminal soundtrack set the tone for cyberpunk as we know it—augmenting tense symphonic arrangements with a healthy helping of groovalicious synth.
View the full image

Jazz Jackrabbit - Robert A. Allen and Joshua Jensen
The term "homage" is extremely important when working in creative fields. Is Jazz Jackrabbit, a game about a tough talkin', fast runnin' green rabbit a ripoff of Sonic the Hedgehog, a game about a tough talkin', fast runnin' blue hedgehog? Of course not! It's a loving homage, right down to its similar upbeat, fun-loving synthesized soundtrack.
View the full image

Sonic Generations - Jun Senoue
And speaking of Sonic the Hedgehog, here's our one "cheat" on the list. How do you include some of the best ever console music in an all-PC soundtracks list? Simple, by including Sonic Generations, which features not just the original classic tracks, but also remixes and reinterpretations that stay true to the jazz-meets-electronica, infectiously toe-tapping style of 16-bit Sonic. Oh, and there's a whole lot of jazz flute, too.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - Stuart Chatwood
The Prince of Persia games have always had a very strong sense of place. It's not Prince of Detroit, it's Prince of Persia. Sands of Time's Mideastern-flavored soundtrack is equal parts hypnotic and rocking and sets the perfect foundation for the Prince's platforming adventures. It also features the best (and possibly only) Persian power ballad of all time, Time Only Knows.
View the full image

Hitman 2 - Jesper Kyd
Agent 47 prides himself on being a silent assassin. Thankfully, Hitman 2 saw fit to accompany 47's sneaky escapades with one of the greatest orchestral arrangements to ever grace the silver…monitor. Using the full range of the Budapest Symphony Orchestra along with pulsing electronic undertones, Jesper Kyd's stirring soundtrack adds a chilling grandeur to the stealth thriller.
View the full image

Assassin's Creed II - Jesper Kyd
More fantastic work from the talented Mr. Kyd, the entire Assassin's Creed series represents some of the finest music in all of gaming, with Assassin's Creed II being the strongest of the lot. Much like Hitman 2, AC2 juxtaposes organic folk and ethnic instrumentation with electronica, a blend that perfectly complements the sci-fi-meets-history elements of the game's setting.
View the full image

Beyond Good & Evil - Christophe Héral
Ubisoft seems to really like World music. Ubi's Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed games already have enough ethnic music and percussion to employ half the world's ethnomusicologists (all 12 of them). Beyond Good & Evil takes it a step further, with an eclectic blend of symphonic, ethnic, and outright otherworldly instruments that somehow coalesce into a brilliant soundtrack that's truly out of this world.
View the full image

Iji - Chris Geehan and Dan Byrne-McCullough
Another out of this world game, free indy action-adventure game Iji even looks like Out of This World, the innovative 1991 platform adventure. Its equally stellar soundtrack is a techno/prog-rock headbobber that's equal parts Metroid and Rush.
View the full image

Braid - Jami Sieber, Shira Kammen, Cheryl Ann Fulton
One of the main reasons Braid is credited with starting the indy "revolution" of the last few years is its focus on quality and style over quantity. Braid's soundtrack, though short, is beautiful, brooding, and at times even breathtaking, as it evokes the game's themes of wonder, loss, and regret.
View the full image

Baldur's Gate II - Michael Hoenig
Though the entirety of the Dungeons & Dragons themed Infinity Engine games (both Baldur's Gate games, both Icewind Dale games, Planescape: Torment) have fantastic soundtracks, Baldur's Gate II gets the representative callout here. The game's powerful choral and brass main theme that heralds the game launch is forever tattooed into our collective brains…in a good way—no illithids, renegade mages, or psychotic demigods needed.
View the full image

Dragon Age: Origins - Inon Zur
Though not Baldur's Gate in name, Dragon Age: Origins is certainly Baldur's Gate in spirit, right down to its amazing sound work. Scored by impressively prolific Israeli composer Inon Zur, Origins' soundtrack is appropriately grandiose enough to fit the game's massive scope while also being hauntingly beautiful for the more emotional moments.
View the full image

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne - A Film Noir Love Story - Kartsy Hatakka, Kimmo Kajasto
The original Max Payne theme was memorable but the title score written for Max Payne 2 still haunts us nine years after the game was first released. Kartsy Hatakka, of the band Waltari, and Kimmo Kajasto are credited with composing this score that will stay with you long after you finish reading this story.
View the full image

L.A. Noire - Andrew and Simon Hale
Though this list is about original soundtracks not licensed music, surprisingly enough, the bulk of L.A. Noire's outstanding period-appropriate jazz soundtrack is new, original work. While they mostly nail the soul of '40s jazz, a keen ear can detect some anachronistic cool jazz and post bebop influences here and there. But we'll hit the truth button and take Team Bondi's word that these are intentional anachronisms.
View the full image

Mass Effect 2 - Jack Wall, Sam Hulick, David Kates, Jimmy Hinson
Mass Effect is as space opera as it gets, and you might assume that involves a John Williams score or Worf belting out Gav'ot Toh'va. Instead we get a soundtrack that draws upon Mass Effect's '70s sci-fi aesthetic, with big-wave synths on full display. Yes, the orchestral pieces are also great, but it's when Mass Effect is channeling its inner Vangelis that its soundtrack is at its synthy best.
View the full image

Gemini Rue - Nathan Allen Pinard
Gemini Rue's soundtrack may best be described by combining the audio aesthetics of the last two entries: L.A. Noire and Mass Effect. And strange as this combination may seem, the jazz meets orchestra meets synth soundtrack is a pitch perfect companion for the future noir mystery adventure.
View the full image

Mirror's Edge - Solar Fields
When describing soundtracks, "ambient" is almost a dirty word; basically another way of saying "there's no real melody and it's forgettable." Composed by ambient artist Solar Fields, the Mirror's Edge soundtrack nails the "no real melody" part but is in no way forgettable. Soothing, ethereal, and zen-like, Solar Fields' work feels like it's straight from a future where humanity has evolved beyond its need for simple melody.
View the full image

Machinarium - Tomáš Dvorák
Machinarium is all about contradictions. It's a new-school style/old-school adventure game and its soundtrack is somehow both ambient and melodic at the same time. The music uses nearly every instrument imaginable (as well as several unimaginable) and combines them with creative metallic, mechanical, and robotic sound effects to bring to life the whimsical steampunk adventure.
View the full image

Medal of Honor series - Michael Giacchino
Before he composed the scores for the Incredibles, Lost, Mission Impossible III and Star Trek, Michael Giacchino was probably best known for his score on Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. Of Giacchino’s many great scores our favorite is his work on the Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
View the full image

Doom II - Bobby Prince
Doom II is the epitome of METAL: from its metal album-esque cover screen, to the high-speed, uber-violent gameplay, to, yes, the super shredding music. Doom II's soundtrack is essentially heavy metal in MIDI form, and defined by its liberal (possibly gratuitous) usage of synth electric guitar. The track list was massive for the time, and the hard-hitting tunes set the bar for action FPS for years to come.
View the full image

Super Meat Boy - Danny Baranowsky
Including Super Meat Boy on this list isn't "the next best thing" to having NES-era console game music—it's better! A love letter to the 8-bit stylings of yore, Super Meat Boy combines classic chiptunes with more modern instrumentation to create a unique soundtrack that really feels like the modern-day successor to NES musical powerhouses like Mega Man and Castlevania.
View the full image

VVVVVV - Magnus "Souleye" Pålsson
Another classic homage, just like VVVVVV's graphics are pretty damn close to what you'd get on a C64, Magnus "Souleye" Pålsson's VVVVVV music stays pretty true to its chiptune roots. Souleye's outstanding soundtrack (sold as PPPPPP) shows the flexibility of chiptune composition and proves it's still an expressive and viable form of electronic music.
View the full image

Oni - Paul Sebastien, Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori
Before Bungie was making some obscure console series called "Halo" they were hard at work making awesome PC titles. Oni is set in an anime-ified cyberpunk world, complete with mechs, ridiculously huge guns and all the android females you could ever want. As such, Oni's soundtrack is straight-up bass-thumping techno cause in the fake future of '90s anime, all action is accompanied by club-style techno.
View the full image

Star Trek: Bridge Commander - Danny Pelfrey
Star Trek’s loyal fans are just as devoted to the music as they are to the minute details of a starship’s nacelle design, so violate that 4th wall and you have hell to pay. Danny Pelfrey’s work on Star Trek: Bridge Commander has always impressed as having the same “look and feel” of Star Trek music without borrowing from the shows' cues and themes. He also scored Star Trek: Command III, Armada, and Elite, too.

OMICRON!

By far the best game soundtrack I've heard. Xavier Despas did the score and it had some extra tracks by David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels.

Incidentally it is one of the most memorable PC games and easily on my top game list. Definitely worth checking out. Outdated now but the concept is fantastic and very immersive.

Someone definitely pissed in the MPC gamer cherrios. In the last however many years, I think I've seen mention of Lord of the Rings Online in ANY way only a couple times. The game remains amazing and the soundtrack has been a consistent in my mp3 player. I'm rarely without access to them.The tracks also cover a pretty broad range of compositions. Sure, not EDM/Electronic or metal, and thankfully no "rock" or other pop tripe, but the ground covered it just awesome and inspiring and each timeI listen out of game, I'm immediately transported back.

I haven't had the opportunity to listen to many other soundtracks (about 5 or so of those in your list via actual play), but I'm certain if the LotRO team could put together the composers they did, others can as well...but the serious lack of acknowledgement counter to and consistent adolescent style commitment to pimping on only the "top games" from everyone's list makes me question the intent of a lot of the game articles you guys bother with.

Sorry, the LotRO dismissing has just annoyed me for a long time.

I've been reading MPC for some time, but I've never had the urge to actually join and/or comment...until now.

I really like game music and I listen to game music on my mp3 player. I can't believe the music that didn't make the list. You guys have only touched the surface of the great gaming music that's out there.

While I like some of the stuff in this list, I would have added a few others:

The Battlefield series.

The theme to Battlefield 1942 is one of the very best military shooter themes ever produced and the variations in the subsequent Battlefield games have all been great (with the possible exception of BF3).

Two Worlds.

The Grammy Award winner, Harold Faltermeyer composed the music for this game and, imo, this music is some of the best and might be just about the only good thing in the game.

Aion.

Beautiful music.

An overlooked gem would be the Redbook audio soundtrack for Descent II. There were two different versions; I prefer the one from the Destination:Quartzon CD.

January 11, 2012 at 9:37pm

MOH:AA is a great call on this one. But really EQ2 still has yet to be beat. Also i think S.T.A.L.K.E.R. deserves a rightful place in here as well.

In fact after after typing this had just HAD to open my Sony directory and throw on some Runneye. GOD DAMN this shit is NUTS AND BOLT. SO bad ass uncompressed thru my headphones holy god this sounds track still r0xMYs0x

Tribes 2 had a fantastic soundtrack, and it was the only part of the game those asshats at Team Warfare couldn't ruin.

Turn the clock back farther and rediscover the music from the Wing Commander series. For what they had to work with, it was pretty kick-ass.

1988, Neuromancer. Sure, it sounds like complete crap TODAY, but for 1988 it was amazing to hear the scratchy sounds of barely-recognizable Devo songs squeeking from the PC speaker. Yes, one speaker. None of your fancy sound cards and CD-quality audio for us, kiddies. We depended on crazy hackers finding a way to make sound from the beeptastic speaker on the front of the machine.

Missed one of my favorites Interstate '76. It was one of the first games I played on the PC and one of the game discs doubled as a music CD for the soundtrack. Don't play a lot of games anymore, but this soundtrack takes me back to growing up in the 70's which is why it is still on my ipod.

Spacegy4

January 11, 2012 at 10:43am

No mention of Final Fantasy? The original tracks from the first Final Fantasy were some of the most defining of all time.

January 11, 2012 at 9:33am

5, I could see. 10, OK. Maybe even 20. But how you can put together a list of the 30 best PC game soundtracks, and leave off the only Grammy-winning soundtrack in video game history, I just don't get.

This list should, by rights, include Civilization IV. Even if you hated every other song in the game, the Grammy won for Baba Yetu should qualify it immediately.

jadei

January 11, 2012 at 8:53am

Outlaws by LucasArts had one of the best soundtracks and easily one of the "top 30 of all time." I'm just astounded it wasn't included...

Just some of my picks.

Soul Reaver - Legacy of Kain

Command and Conquer - Red Alert. Hell March = Best metal song in a game.

First Halo game had some decent music as well. And it counts because it eventually came out for the PC.

I like how they sort of cheated by putting Skyrim on the list... pretty much the entire Skyrim soundtrack is just remastered versions of Morrowind and Oblivion tracks.

Remastering would not turn TES3's and 4's music into Skyrim's. Redoing it would.

How about Tropico, the music in that game was amazing.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Total War series. Jeff van Dyck's music really does set the tone for the eras, the different terrains and battles.

Tiberian Sun!!! Sniff Sniff, FU EA, FU!!!! sniff....

Bioshock, Quake 3 Arena, Frozen Synapse, Bit.trip Games SHOULD be on the list!

So glad Bastion, and Mirror's edge made the cut (one of those few games I've never owned but loved the music anyways).

GTA radio stations, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy 8 and 10, errr... OH WAIT NVM!

Mortal_M

January 10, 2012 at 7:55pm

And the music of the first C&C, but it could be nostalgia, every time I hear it it brings me back.

Caboose

January 11, 2012 at 8:24am

I have the entire C&C series soundtracks. The original C&C, if you could extract it, had a LOT of music, even hidden and un-released tracks, and remixes.

Any time I listen to it, it always makes me want to play them again.

That one and Act on "Instinct" where my favorites. I played that game when I was 7-10 years old without knowing any English and I loved it.

PS: I just went to Youtube and listened to all those soundtracks and now I want to play the game again.

Caboose

January 13, 2012 at 8:34am

You're in luck, you can download both C&C and Red Alert for free now. Legally too. I think if you go to the C&C webpage (http://www.commandandconquer.com/) there's a section to download the games.

Solar Fields, composer of Mirror's Edge is an amazing musician, and I urge everyone who's a fan of the Mirror's Edge soundtrack to check out his other albums.

In fact, the game Capsized (an overlooked indy gem from last year) uses Solar Fields' album Movements as its soundtrack, and it's a great match.

I am NOT going to cry foul that Starcraft or Starcraft 2 didn't make the musical cut. Even though they have freaking awesome soundtracks. Nor am I going to whimper about Team Fortress 2 not having any love here (seriously, search for More Gun or A Little Heart to Heart)

But I am going to applaud the choice of Bastion in the top spot!

I love that Unreal Tournament was included on this list. I used to love the soundtrack. It was perfect it getting you into the mood of the game.

My favorite toon from the game is

1) Wing Commander: Privateer - The Fat Man (George Sanger)

2) Diablo II - Matt Uelmann

3) Eve Online - Jon Hallur

4) Myst - Robyn Miller

You can put the rest of your list behind those. =oP

Of course, the game music one loves is greatly influenced by how much one enjoys the game. With the execption of EVE, the above games are all in my personal list of the Top 10 Computer Games of All Time.

January 10, 2012 at 3:29pm

Can't believe you guys omitted the Mechwarrior series. Mechwarrior 2 and the Ghost Bear's Legacy expansion had AMAZING songs.

Also, Silent Hill 2 has some of the most beautifully sad music i've ever heard, video game soundtrack or not.

This one may be a stretch, but an old fighter jet simulator I had back in 1995 called TFX had some pretty sweet tunes on it.

b_c_pc

January 10, 2012 at 3:21pm

I'd have included the soundtracks from Myst 2 (Riven) and Myst 3 (Exile) in this list.

ftldelay

January 10, 2012 at 3:03pm

I thought the Lucasarts game "Outlaws" had a great soundtrack. I think the game CD had actual music tracks on it that could be played in a CD player, if I'm not mistaken.

DanScharff

January 10, 2012 at 2:55pm

The list was at 20, then 25, then 30 before I decided the line must be drawn HERE! Just not enough space to fit in all these awesome soundtracks - plus I really wanted to showcase lots of different musical genres instead of having a list dominated by all orchestral or all electronic, etc.

Anyway, great suggestions so far, folks, keep 'em coming.

Caboose

January 10, 2012 at 3:17pm

The line must be drawn THIS far, AND NO FARTHER!!

And yooou, will decide what goes on the list!

Ok, it sounded better in my head...

TommM

January 10, 2012 at 2:44pm

Eh...should have included Defense Grid: The Awakening. Check out Combat_C on this list. Best "going to war" music I've heard:

I love how the article title is the best 30 PC Game soundtracks, and yet there are people mentioning console games too! (Yes, Final Fantasy is also on the PC, I own FF7 and FF8 on PC, but it originated on the console.)

January 10, 2012 at 2:31pm

Oblivion and Morrowind also had amazing soundtracks.

To The Moon (awards for best soundtrack in 2011) Half-Life (good enough to get licensed for tv shows)

What? No Red Alert? Go listen to Hell March again and tell me that game does not belong on this list.

Caboose

January 10, 2012 at 2:35pm

YES! If my copy of Hell March was on an audio cassette, It'd be worn out by now. Even Hell March 2 and 3, and the "First to Last" mix of Hell March are all kickass!

Psicose

January 10, 2012 at 2:06pm

You guys forgot Shadow Man, for both PC and N64. It was one of the best N64 games to have ever come out, and truly a PC classic too.
