Right I know this isn't a VG topic as it is more music based but I thought it'd get a better reception here than the music section.
The music in games now has grown to the point where it is arguably much better than the music in the no.1 box office movie due to the popularity and obvious financial backing that these guys now have.
There are songs from games which give me goose bumps! Particularly the likes of an end once and for all from mass effect 3 and I can’t remember the title but the piano song from Halo. They’re my personal favourites.
I also really enjoy the music from the latest Assassin’s Creed game.

What are your favourite songs from games?

Alan Wake for XBox 360 left a permanent marker in my brain. The music was atmospheric and perfectly implemented into the game, utter genius.
Poets of the Fall iirc?

Tetris?
That or Mario is probably the most well known.

Hitman series introduced me to Ave Maria. Now one of my most favourite classical pieces.

Been playing TLOU and the music is very subtle but it does work extremely well.
