Tetris: Type A – Tetris
Not only is Tetris one of the most influential video games ever created, its primary theme music (simply named Type A) is one of the most memorable pieces of video game music in history. The music in question fits the game perfectly, it has a distinct Russian feel to it, and it perfectly compliments the increasing pace of the game. I could honestly listen to this music all day!
The Legend of Zelda Theme – The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda theme music is both adventurous and triumphant, just like the series it represents. The music is so synonymous with the series that it has been reused/remade/remixed in just about every entry in the franchise.

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.
