* ''[[VideoGame/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim The GAME]]'' has some great songs from Music/{{Anamanaguchi}}, a composer who uses a style that mixes real guitar and chiptune stuff. Some examples:

* ''VideoGame/{{Outland}}'', a BulletHell[=/=]{{Metroidvania}} hybrid, features many amazing tracks that brilliantly underscore the game's Meso-American aesthetic. [[https://youtu.be/ihEDKH_SgJI "The Tower of Eternity"]], which plays late in the game's campaign, serves as the foundation on which game's [[https://youtu.be/0lICPV_3_7Q boss]] [[https://youtu.be/AnaiCFpZ0AM battle]] [[[[https://youtu.be/R08UHf2eVAM themes]] are built. However, the motif established by "Tower of Eternity" rises to its fullest, grandest glory in [[https://youtu.be/qDRIKcjFzJQ "Eternity: The End of All Things"]], a fitting anthem for a hero bound to meet his destiny as mankind's savior.

* ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpoSCPZW3bM several]] [[IncrediblyLamePun AMAZING]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJwlQnd3Rzs themes]].

* The music for the first ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar1'' was composed by Kevin Riepl, who also wrote most of the music for [[VideoGame/{{Unreal}} another]] game series of Creator/EpicGames. Said awesomeness is still intact, but instead of techno-rock asskicking tracks, we have orchestral asskicking ones.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3wF0kUSpWE "Attack of the Drones"]] from ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar1''.

*** From ''Daifukkatsu Black Label'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgho16DJlKU Flotage]], the music for Stage 3. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_V_1e2p-Dk Here's]] a slightly different version for if you unlock the BonusBoss.

** ''DJ MAX Portable 2'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FnUc1j5MoQ Your Own Miracle]], the opening theme and BonusBoss.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TckpRsT4unE Son of Sun]], the ThatOneBoss of ''DJ MAX Technika'' and ''Black Square'' 's BonusBoss.

** ''Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta!'' gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqsNkD-FPEs YO-KAI Disco]]" as well as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g10PBdDQy24 Karakuri Spirits]]". Other highlights include the boss theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG5LCpnouck The Curse]]" and its remix "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5H1lG3YVnM The Curse Again]]", the thrilling "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a7jlRSk6iw Will Force]]", and the lighthearted "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8J4zYzanUw Tropical Pirates]]".
** ''Eschatos'' doesn't stray far from Mamoru-kun, with tracks such as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEZsWp-jPJQ Survive]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrcNHERRyCI Point of No Return]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtJFw3xnOb8 Stellar Light]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_j2u9A_1P0 Extermination]]", and the most popular of them all: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FICCXD9Aww Silver Lining]]".

* ''VideoGame/{{Outland}}'', a BulletHell[=/=]{{Metroidvania}} hybrid, features many amazing tracks that brilliantly underscore the game's Meso-American aesthetic. Among them:
** [[https://youtu.be/FNjlcDKBJ-Y The hauntingly beautiful title screen music]].
** [[https://youtu.be/ihEDKH_SgJI "The Tower of Eternity"]], which plays late in the game's campaign, serves as the foundation on which game's [[https://youtu.be/0lICPV_3_7Q boss]] [[https://youtu.be/AnaiCFpZ0AM battle]] [[[[https://youtu.be/R08UHf2eVAM themes]] are built. However, the motif established by "Tower of Eternity" rises to its fullest, grandest glory in [[https://youtu.be/qDRIKcjFzJQ "Eternity: The End of All Things"]], a fitting anthem for a hero bound to meet his destiny as mankind's savior.

* Creator/MichiruYamane probably didn't expect to score a fighting game within her lifetime, but ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' gave her the perfect opportunity to flex her musical muscles with a swanky jazz and swing infused soundtrack:

** ''Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta!'' gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqsNkD-FPEs YO-KAI Disco]]" as well as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g10PBdDQy24 Karakuri Spirits]]".
*** Other highlights include the boss theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG5LCpnouck The Curse]]" and its remix "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5H1lG3YVnM The Curse Again]]", the thrilling "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a7jlRSk6iw Will Force]]", and the lighthearted "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8J4zYzanUw Tropical Pirates]]".

** ''Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta!'' gives us "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqsNkD-FPEs YO-KAI Disco]]" as well as "[[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9362634 Karakuri Spirits]]" (which is apparently currently MIA on Website/YouTube).
** ''Eschatos'' doesn't stray far from Mamoru-kun, with tracks such as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEZsWp-jPJQ Survive]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrcNHERRyCI Point of No Return]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtJFw3xnOb8 Stellar Light]]", and the most popular of them all: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FICCXD9Aww Silver Lining]]".

* Being a {{Retraux}} RhythmGame, the ''VideoGame/BitTrip'' series naturally has to have fittingly awesome music. The first level theme for ''Beat'', "[[http://www.commandervideo.com/00DESCENT11.mp3 Transition]]", is quite catchy. Additionally, each game in the series so far features menu and credits music from guest chiptune artists. "[[http://www.8bitpeoples.com/mp3/get/374/8bp059-06-bit_shifter-the_information_chase.mp3 The Information Chase]]" by [[http://bit.shifter.net/ Bit Shifter]], in particular, is very fitting for a credits sequence, especially that of the aforementioned ''VideoGame/BitTrip Beat''. Also, here is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_xn43AMhcE PERFECT run]] of one of the easier levels.

* ''VideoGame/GhostRecon Future Soldier'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8_I6kK0Bfk "Nemesis"]], a orchestral piece with a Gothic twist which introduces the [[EliteMooks Bodarks]] and one of the game's most intense firefights.

** [[Music/PublicEnemy "Bring the Noise"]] is back again; these [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMdJTB51Kz0 two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E555WcgHs4k mixes]] in ''DJ Hero'' simply jack the awesomeness up ([[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]] pun intended).

** [[Music/PublicEnemy "Bring the Noise"]] is back again; these [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMdJTB51Kz0 two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E555WcgHs4k mixes]] in ''DJ Hero'' simply jack the awesomeness UpToEleven ([[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]] pun intended).

*** And then Hibachi's music from Daioujou got turned UpToEleven in ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}'' (whose soundtrack was composed by the same guy) as Evacaneer DOOM's music: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNK7j-j_c68 No Remorse]].

* ''Yosumin! Live'' has a downloadable story(-ish) mode. For the most part, it makes use of the same happy-sugar music as you progress. Then you reach the final "boss" level... and are greeted by a blast of hard rock with the "villain" rapping on about his awesomeness and ''geometry'' in an oddly high voice. IT ALL WORKS. Mindblowing stuff.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfGoo'': Great gameplay, great humor, [[https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6C1D20C6E890D565 great music]].
** Get the full soundtrack FOR FREE [[http://kylegabler.com/WorldOfGooSoundtrack/ here]].
** Worth mentioning are the tracks: "Tumbler", "Burning Man", "Are You Coming Home, Love MOM", "Regurgitation Pumping Station", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2zSy9S5osQ "Best of Times"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku4eLhgsEE0 "Red Carpet Extend-o-matic"]].

* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' has a bunch of cool songs including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC0G6WdRTZw Brainiac Maniac]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOBnj42WACE The Roof.]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hjyuQFhAsI Carmeaty Burana]], the FinalBoss theme, in particular.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBA6kQl_GOk Battle of Lil' Slugger]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE_Lrs8LomE Dr. Fetus's Castle]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mukiMaOSLEs Wet Hands]]", which sometimes automatically plays when you're playing the game, and is very calming.

* ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'', [[spoiler:Lionwhyte's Pleasure Tower,]] stage load-out event. Crap falling down? ''Check.'' Invincible monsters chasing you in the Deuce and knocking MORE crap out of the way? ''Check.'' Nitro fire? ''Check.'' Something epic to play alongside it? Well, we have Music/DragonForce. How about the fact that the first song you hear is the opening bass to "Children of the Grave", and it erupts once Eddie picks up the axe. That is class.

** Ozzy Osbourne's "Mr. Crowley" goes perfect with the sad cutscene that shows us [[spoiler:what happened to Ophelia]].
** The cutscene where Eddie dreams of seeing [[spoiler:normal Ophelia]] again, the two of them lying underneath a tree, and slaying demons while running along the shore, all while Scorpions' "Holiday" plays.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDlIEhLozDg The absolutely beautiful main theme]] from the exceptionally beautiful game ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''. Also [[spoiler:Rosie at Isara's funeral, in both English and Japanese]].

** The theme of [[spoiler:the True Final Boss, Henry]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FISXJNCcLM0 "We Are Finally Cowboys",]] deserves special mention.
** The Rank 1 battle against [[spoiler:Jeane]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1fZxIX0psU "Rocket Surgeon"]].

** The Sequel amps things up with some remixes from the Darkside album, and fresh, new tracks. Sample [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTlIzfL7tUI Phillistine]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuPy6dHjFXI Subuta.2]], and [[spoiler:New Destroyman]]'s theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3MV5NQP2dA Kill U 2wise Over.]]

** The beautiful, downtempo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o67Bo1lxutQ Tooth Paste]], which leads wonderfully up to [[spoiler:Travis' HeelFaceTurn]], or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Agp4yO5k8 Convulsive Madness, the theme for Batt's second form]], which makes the [[ThatOneBoss fight itself]] more tolerable. And the Beatles-esque [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPHlJdykif8 Dose of Innocence]] is basically the perfect theme song for {{Yandere}}s ''everywhere''.

** ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}''[='=]s soundtrack consists of many old 1940's/50's songs, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsvZuNuKPac "If I Didn't Care"]] by the Inkspots and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AkLE4X-bbU "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window"]], mostly playing in the background on scratchy records as you crawl about in the darkness being attacked by psychotic mutants. The SoundtrackDissonance escalates further when [[spoiler:Sander Cohen unleashes a horde of splicers on you while Tchaikovsky's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26YEuktTNCw "Waltz of the Flowers"]] plays in the background.]]

** [[spoiler:Cole]] himself has a rather awesome version of this with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c6uPiPrRVs Heavy Metal]], the final boss theme.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhwB43-UCaQ Reunion]] is quite a moving piece that plays [[spoiler: during Shaefer's death.]]

** [[http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/57239 Space Pirates]], the BGM for the Thieves' Forest stage, is an intense techno song that perfectly captures the suspense of being stalked by [[spoiler:an absolutely massive Troll]].

* ''VideoGame/FossilFighters'' has [[spoiler: King Dynal]]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j6GcVVxwcY battle theme]]. Easily the best track in the entire game.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYv3Sck708 All Gone (No Escape)]] also stands out, especially since it plays while [[spoiler: Joel's carrying Ellie to the elevator at the end of the hospital level. You're running to safety as fast as you can, holding your surrogate daughter in your arms, completely defenseless against the dozens of soldiers chasing after you, with only this beautiful cello piece playing in the background]]. Arguably the best example of this game's music making an emotional scene even more powerful than it already was. It's the same soundtrack that played when [[spoiler:Sarah died in his arms.]]

* The 2009 ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' had some pretty awesome tracks, like the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlTtRAf-PK4 main theme]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFNeqbKjRcM bombastic military march]] that plays during the fight [[spoiler: with Groeder]], and haunting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHc3DYsgbmc "Beyond Dark Skies"]] that plays over the final scene. Companion game for the 2009 version, ''Bionic Commando: Rearmed'' goes for straight remixes of the NES themes (arranged by Simon Viklund, who went to score ''VideoGame/PaydayTheHeist'' later) instead: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91wTtZ2Qg0k main theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPtHTroVWPM "Power Plant"]].

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9jw61_z3XM bad ending song]] isn't half-bad either, being much more subdued and quiet to remind you of how [[spoiler:you murdered your possessed best friend]].

* Pretty much the entire soundtrack from ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'' is excellent, with a broad mix on genres and several different composers, it's music perfectly suiting the epic scale of the game. Just some of the best include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4vCEHpv6Hg You Will Know Our Names]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS7XVMNNZI8 One Who Gets in Our Way]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCclUgQk1Lk Mechanical Rhythm]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIrjgE2-C-s Tragic Decision]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug6B7c_Xut8 The God-Slaying Sword]], which are all battle themes at various parts of the game; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAW4xlbyu28 Engage the Enemy]], which makes a perfect accompaniment to some of the more tragic cut-scenes; and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xweRl4LZlmo Guar Plains]], which plays on the expansive Bionis' Leg. To say nothing of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWfyxPVdH50 Satorl, the Shimmering Marsh]], which is half the reason nobody goes through the Satorl Marsh during the day if they can help it.

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-rJtehZKiA "Fun"]], is ''very'' catchy and upbeat.

* The Wii's Weather Channel's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGDzA7MODEI evening and night theme]] is a wonder for dissolving stress, it actually becomes an addiction. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLDhvJ0fmAw The world map at night]] also has a sort of quiet ambiance about it, fitting for looking down to the Earth from space.

* Each Psychopath from ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' has their own theme song - and in general each one is more than badass enough to be worthy of being themes of {{Crazy Awesome}}s. It's be easier to list which pieces ''aren't'' SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, but perhaps instead we'll just direct you to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eETNjXZRL5o Carlito's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5irITCl6LZU Isabela's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5irITCl6LZU Paul's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iPK9m5ihvU Sean's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2gl-EVBkNo Cliff's]], and if it's your cup of tea [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7FJjtAuAIU the Convicts']] themes for now. The ending theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuyY1gTVTBc Justified by Drea]], is also pretty awesome. The sequel's got some cool themes too, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBn9WLXyDw0 for an Expy of Larry, Antoine's theme is fairly good]].

* ''VideoGame/SplitSecond'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGBIjfCZk0 Elite Race]] theme. It's a piece that gets you pumped to race the best of the best, especially when the main riff kicks in.

* ''SplitSecond'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGBIjfCZk0 Elite Race]] theme. It's a piece that gets you pumped to race the best of the best, especially when the main riff kicks in.

* ''VisualNovel/FourTwoEightShibuyaScramble'''s soundtrack can go from goofy to downright eerie.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrZebUeNHl0 Kenji Osawa]] is a simple yet creepy ambient track for the psychological horror aspects of the game.
