Ten Great Video Game Music Themes

Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

Despite being only a little over a year old, Super Mario Galaxy’s soundtrack is already considered one of the best in video game history, and it’s no question why, the music is simply beautiful! The Gusty Garden Galaxy theme seems to be one of the most synonymous with the game, which is why I chose it as the first music from the game on this list. It’s a very epic, very beautiful piece of music that brings Mario’s adventure to a grand scale.

Wow! You REALLY don’t like Shadow very much do you? Haha.

Agree with almost all the themes, but as a MGS fan, I would have chosen the main theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqqq8uqSDnk , so much greatness, on any of it versions is epic. main theme MGS3 version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlnJghwNgtQ .

Just one thing, the Tetris soundtrack isn’t an original soundtrack, actually I think the author is Bach! I remember when my piano teacher taught me a new melody and… it was from Tetris 2! So of course I asked about it, and it isn’t originally from the game. And so with all the other Tetris themes.

Great article, looking forward to the next list!

The way I see it, if Sonic is the face of his franchise, then Shadow is the face of everything that has gone wrong with the franchise. He was a harmless addition in Sonic Adventure 2, but he seems to have stolen the spotlight from most of the classic Sonic characters. Not to mention he always brings in one kind of storyline or another that further changes the series from what it once was.

You’ve got a good point. By the way, don’t you just wish the games went back to the villains being just Eggman (Robotnik) and Metal Sonic instead of some random new major villain seen only once in the entires series??

I have waited for a classic Sonic vs. Robotnik game for what seems like forever. I’ll have my fingers crossed that Project Needlemouse sets things straight.
