30 Days of Gaming - Day Eight

So there's this thing going around on facebook at the moment, where you post a picture a day that fits within a specific theme. I've chosen, for my first 30 Days, to go with Gaming.

Day Eight - Best Videogame Soundtrack

Once again, I'm sorry guys, I have to cheat on this entry.

There are two game soundtracks that I can ick out for this, and there's no way I can pick one over the other.

My first choice is unsurprising for anybody that has been paying attention to my previous entries:



Silent Hill 2, by Konami, has a brilliant soundtrack. Composed by Akira Yamaoka, it is yet again one of the many reasons why this game is considered to be not only the best in the series but one of the best games available on the Playstation 2.

The soundtrack is highly emotive, managing to fit in perfectly with what is on screen at the time.

By far the best track is Theme or Laura (reprise):



My second favourite videogame soundtrack is from this game:



The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was, believe it or not, my first ever Zelda game. Released for the GameCube in 2003, it was everything I had ever wanted from a fantasy game, it was fun, it looked great, the controls were perfect, great storyline, and one of the best soundtracks I'd heard in years.

Each island within the game had its own theme, and then there were themes for certain characters and locations. Each track perfectly portrayed the mood and feel of each specific item, with one in particular standing out as my favourite of them all:



Brilliant stuff.

So those are my favourite videogame soundtracks, what about yourself?
