Eternal Sonata. So cute and sparkly, yet existential and reflective. Unusual combination for a video game.

The Bayonetta combat music is wonderful. Awesome combat system too, though I wasn't a big fan of the pacing. Once you go Ninja Gaiden pacing, you can't really go back, otherwise you just get bored

OMG, where to start!!

Being an avid soundtrack fan (movies, games, everything!) I have literally hundreds on my mind... but lets take it slowly.

Original, not orchestrated or remixes, even if they do sound better sometimes:

I am a Civ fan. I played Civ 3 4 5, Heroes 3 4 5, Starcraft 1 2, Warcraft 2 3.
And I got really good at all of them ,I enjoy strategy games, I never got good at chess though... : (


oh console games....never played any..except when I was a kid.

I don't know why I like this one so much - maybe it's that, since it's so old, you stop thinking of it as a bad imitation of real instruments, and you start to appreciate the electronics as electronics.
