   I reckon the nerdiest thing I ever did was buy the soundtrack to Super Meat Boy from DB Soundworks.

   It comes signed and everything, and I actually felt kind of dirty for buying that sort of thing. I was never one to sleep in Pokemon covered pillows or compare my friends to videogame characters, but you know, the more I listen to that soundtrack, the less nerdy I feel, because it's just fucking awesome!

   And I don't usually say that about electronic music, unless it's Ulver or some awesome 8-bitsy stuff.

   I used to play WoW with the Diablo II soundtrack on, but that's not nearly as "videogamy" as this stuff.

   What about you guys? Is there some kind of videogame music that you love enough to completely reveal yourself as a total nerd?

   Highly recommend the Meat Boy though:

   I love soundtracks!!! Whether they are for a movie or a videogame, I think they are awesome.

   I also used to feel dirty listening to them, but now not so much - although I do admit I still try to hide them from my friends :P.

   A few of my favourites are the Final Fantasy X soundtrack and also the Metal Gear Solid games. I recently just got the The Witcher 2 soundtrack, which is also amazing.

   I really want to get a hold of the Deus Ex soundtrack as well; just the opening music of that game blew me away.

   No!

   I do find myself humming the original Super Mario Bros underground level theme tune on the all too frequent odd occasion, though.

   This made me laugh when I saw it a few years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDhYmpX9DLM

   I still regularly listen to the Final Fantasy piano and orchestral albums. I find them massively nostalgic, and they're different enough from the original OST that I can get away with playing them with the GF in the room.

   The car is the place where I listen to most soundtrack stuff. With that said, you won't catch me cruising the high street, windows down, with Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec blaring out at top volume. (I save that shit for the motorway)

   I loved the Scott Pilgrim 8-bit-esque soundtrack.. but think I'd struggle listening to stuff like that outside of the game itself.

   Will check out the SMB stuff DSB!

   I think you might like this GIGA - I've been waiting for an excuse to post it:

   I quite like this one as well:

   @Dralen I checked out the Deus Ex soundtrack too. Obviously most of the main themes are excellent, but it's also a little too contrasting for my taste. The songs go from quiet to epic, and the heavy techno music from Hong Kong kinda ruins it for me. It's not as good as the Inception soundtrack imo.

   I'm definitely gonna check out the Witcher 2 OST.

   Am I the only one that was totally enthralled by the Diablo 2 one?

   It pretty much goes with any RPG you can think of.

   I bought the licenced soundtrack to Vice City so I did. And I have the FFXIII OST too. That's as hardcore as it got in terms of buying OSTs, though.

   In terms of amazing examples of gaming sountracks:

    I starting gettin into my favorite game soundtracks back when I discovered music on some ps1 disc. Black Dawn being one of the first. The original Warhawk is good. Hello, FFVII is sweet. Listening to any of that PSX music will bring you back :) Nostalgia. But lately I'd say my favorites are MGS4, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and most recently Red Dead. Some of Infamous 2 is cool. It's different. Speaking of...if you ever fancy a listen, try blue laguna.

    I don't spend time listening to anything aside from on very rare, specific occasions for a long time already, but I'd mention Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono games, particularly Chrono Cross, Shadow Hearts), Martin O'Donnell's Halo osts, Drakengard soundtrack, as well as the original Call of Juarez having very impressive ost.

    Those are available at the link SlayerGT posted btw.

    I've got the Gears of War 2 sound track.
    I think I would like it better if it didn't consist of the same track but with slightly different portions and sections that have been slightly modified.

    I also got the collectors edition of Deus Ex so got the score (yes figure and all... and yes it did make me feel a tiny little bit dirty but the feeling passed). I don't know what Score actually means (other than it being music related) so I have no idea what kind of music it will entail.

    Old Snake in MGS4 is the best... it was partly to blame for me crying at the end of MGS4:

    And also ALL of Bioshock...so fitting

    I'd definitely say the Metal Gear Series, completely epic soundtracks in all of them. Seen as themadjock picked out Old Snake, think I'll pick out Love Theme as that was also rather epic and they choice wisely to have that as the intro music with Snake speaking over +1 for MGS! :P

    I remember the first Fable as having some pretty cool music. I shall pursue!

    *edit*

    I have checked, and it is really great. It sounds like Edward Grieg or something. Proper classical stuff!
