Top 10 Greatest Musical Scores
Some gamers out there are content with simply turning down the volume on their game of choice or listening to a custom soundtrack while playing. However, some gamers realize that a video game’s musical score can either make or break an experience, drawing you in and never letting go, as well as helping to give you an emotional attachment to the characters. Here are the ten greatest video game musical scores ever:

 

Quake
  • Quake

    by GT Interactive Software

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor lent his talents to producing the ambient and terrifying score, creating one of the moodiest and most unsettling gaming soundtracks ever.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty
Snake’s first appearance on the PS2 also marked the finest score in the series, which ranks as high as any movie score you’ll hear.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
A classic soundtrack (rumor has it that its crucial inclusion in the Xbox Live Arcade version was single-handedly responsible for upping the size limit of Arcade titles from 50 to 150 MB), SotN’s fantastic score sets the tone for the game perfectly.
