    Default The atmosphere, it's so thick...

    What song has really drawn you into a game, perhaps even more than the visuals, and really just immersed you in it?

    I'd have to say Shalebridge Cradle from Thief: Deadly Shadows. Anyone who has played this level will understand why.

    There are many but this one is the first that comes to mind.

    Silent Hill: Origin's was very atmospheric... and when in the nightmare world, very grinding music that induces nightmares and stays looping in your head x.x

    GGX' "Awe Of She", when used as a final boss theme in an amateur game, drew me into the final boss theme and got me sickeningly pumped.

    Fable had some song or another I can't be assed to find that really vacuumed my soul. In fact, I would hear it and it would invigorate me all over again. For whatever reason, I didn't like Fable very much, but I loved the music.

    The pandemonium music. It is just a piece of art, really fits in well.

    The different versions of Terra's/World of Balance themes. Especially the opening snow march. Wouldn't be anything without the music. Totally set the game up in the most perfect way

    On velv.net there's an RPG Maker game called "Final Fantasy Endless Nova". Despite all the spelling errors it's an excellent game that takes quite a long time to play through on the first attempt, and uses music from Guilty Gear for the final three main bosses. Back then I'd never heard of Guilty Gear so it's very much responsible for getting me into it.

    FFVII's theme for the Mako reactors when you were inside of them.

    It was like all those pipes, gears, and mako energy were giving a natural symphony.

    Probably, there was a piece in Oblivion, that had a haunting piano. It always kicked in at the right time too. As I gazed across a sea of reeds lightly ruffled by the wind, staring into the night sky I hear the faint piano chords. Beautiful.

    Also, a few tracks in FFXII were spot on. FFVII would have oozed immersion had the music been of a higher caliber. That game deserves a remake just so I can buy its soundtrack.

    I'm currently playing Pixeljunk Eden and the music is probably the best thing about the game, makes me want to play the game again now.

    The music always helps me play a game. Even if the game itself sucks horribly, I'll play for the music

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Riven, Myst III & Myst IV have the best soundtracks I've ever heard in video games. They set the mood for those games so well (which are brilliant games by the way), and they are so good to listen to while working or internet'ing.

    The Donkey Kong Country series has excellent music. It did a great job making me feel immersed in the world.
    I believe in the power of humanity.
