Modern Warfare 2: Exodus

Proper belter of a military choon.

In fact the whole soundtrack thanks to Hans Zimmer

I much prefer the old music of the 8 and 16 bit eras.

The first Megaman game had some awesome tracks, and obviously games like Sonic and Mario.

I liked "the enemy of my enemy" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95obkJqXj2c

I think it turned up in the campaign when you are going through the plane junkyard.

Just listened- Poor effort at a Hybrid track that goes nowhere.

The Amiga had quite the scene. Agony was an excellent example.

The music from Shenmue 1 & 2 still impresses even after 15 years (where the hell is the third game!)

Modern Warfare 2 has one of the greatest game soundtracks of recent years IMO. It elevated the game significantly.

In fact most of the Hans Zimmer/Lorne Balfe game soundtracks are pretty good, Crysis 2 was another that stood out for me.

Oh, and The Last of Us

FIFA is usually quite a good measure of which tunes Radio 1 will be playing to death within 3-6 months of the games release.

The intro/nenu music is usually a good upbeat tune, on FIFA 98 Blur Song 2, FIFA 99 Fatboy Slim Rockafella skank ,2001 Moby bodyrock, 2002 i think Gorrilaz an 2013 Chemical brothers as the stand out ones although I still remember how the tune goes for the intro on FIFA 95 on Mega Drive.

Destiny has a great soundtrack (same guy who did the Halo games)

Loved the soundtrack to Infinite Undiscovery too, actually quite a good game!
