Great idea. The problem I see is some games have that one amazing song, and others have overall great music. This won't do some of them justice.

Couldn't help it, I had to post Bloody Tears from Castlevania 2, one of my favorites of all time. It always makes me fill like I can go and beat anything/anybody >:D

Halo soundrack! Great idea though!

I love the MGS4 soundtrack, too bad there is a limited amount if the soundtrack CD's out there and no legal way to get a lossless rip legally :(

If I may make a suggestion, listen to Ace Combat Zero's self-titled song. I couldn't find the best-sounding link, but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wiskH1UE4c&feature=related

Great selection of tracks!
Some of my favorites:
- The entire soundtrack of SD Snatcher
- The opening theme of the 1st Silent Hill game
- Requiem for the nameless victims (from one of the Castlevania games)
- The main theme from Pippols
Hmmmm... all Konami games :)
