Awesome game music

This will be a post I update occasionally.

Memorable music scores are most often associated with films. More and more computer game developers are hiring sophisticated composers to write for their games.

Here are a few off the top of my head which have superb music scores to rival the best film scores ...

[July 3, 2007]
Prey - visually awesome game that plays Escher type tricks with gravity. Great music score. A couple tracks as page background. Visit "Media" page, click "Creative Labs Demo" under Music. Find numerous samples of the composer's game music at his web site - Wikipedia article, visit "External Links"

Dawn of War - one music track as page background playback. Each faction gets it's own signature score as well as context sensitive music tracks during a game.

Saga - just ran across this, when the game is not yet released. Click the My Nation menu link to load the Flash to hear several music tracks. Really outstanding score.
