The theme has to be from a game first so no crossovers like Naruto or DBZ.
Only one tune from each game series.
It is a personal opinion of mine, but its probably right and better than yours.
I'm going on how memorable each tune is to me and of I can recall the majority of it.

I'll leave a link for each one so you can have a listen.
10. Final Fantasy VII: Boss Battle Theme.
8. Battlefield 1942.
You're in a trench and see the enemy 200 metres to your front. Above you a dog fight is taking place, with machine gun fire like the humming of birds. You look through your scope and take aim on the enemy. You press the trigger and down goes your target just as an explosion rattles to your left. Just before all of this was the hammering of drums and meaty bass. If Battlefield 1942's music didn't make you feel like you were about to step into a warzone...you're in the wrong game son.
6. Halo: Combat Evolved.

5. Elder Scroll V: Skyrim.
Skyrim was an epic quest, delving into the deepest parts of fantasy. Dragons. Trolls. Wolf men. So when I saw the trailer and heard,"in his tongue he is dovakin....dragon born!" accompanied with the music. All I wanted to do was pick up my shield and sword and go and slaughter the troll king...and dragons! And explore all that Skyrim had to offer. Obviously though the first thing I did was scream "Fus-Ro-Dah!" At everything in sight.
4. Megaman II.
3. Pokemon.
I wasn't going to add this but remembered that this came before the anime so it counts! Every person who's played pokemon can remember this tune. Everyone. It's just so...cool! A big part of my - and many others - childhood. Definitely deserves a top spot!
2. Donkey Kong Country.

This could be a nostalgic thing but I don't care. It's cooool. To those that have read my previous blogs will know I love this. My favourite tune is definitely against King. K. Rool. But even the opening song, as the intro - played on a phonograph - reminds us of old school sound and is interrupted by fresh new beats from a boombox!
1. Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past.
10. Final Fantasy VII: Boss Battle Theme.
Okay so you've been whooping ass all over Migard and you've been hearing that same old music for a while. Then BAM! In your face with a giant mech robot on wheels with some killer guitars to open up the battle. This shit always got me excited to fight anyone in the game. It made the boss battles that more personal when they were accompanied by this cracking tune.
9. Super Mario World.
Want a happy cheery song to hum and sing when you're playing possibly the happiest and best game ever??? You do!? Good! Super Mario World's music was like chocolate for my ears. It's Happy, colourful and fun. Just like the game!

7. Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty.
I have nothing to say except. Snake?? Snake?? SNAAAAAAAAKE????
... Cool tune bro.
6. Halo: Combat Evolved.
I love the halo music. When the London Philharmonic Orchestra did this, I listened to it intently for about a week. It manages to capture that feel of being in space and fighting for survival. It genuinely is a great piece of music. Listen and you'll know what I mean.

Fast paced and constantly on the edge of your seat. The Megaman game and music has always been a personal favourite of mine. I'm not going to explain... Okay maybe a little. The developers -only using 8-bit bearing in mind - still manage to give the feeling of a faced paced game solely by the music. Also... look how funny the box art is! Hahahah! He doesn't look remotely like that!
3. Pokemon.

Here it is. This game. This fuuuuucking game! Its just perfect for me. And the music is nothing short of a masterpiece. Even though made with 32-bit sounds still manages to (here's the word of the day) convey (sexy ain't it?) of fantasy, peril and some hardcore questing! UGH. Take it Zelda!
Okaaaaay. There's a top ten of musical epicness. I'm sure a lot of you will agree and thanks for reading. If you don't...leave a comment, and tell me YOUR top ten!
Cheers,
