Is is just me, or is the music you find on video game soundtracks some of the most epic pieces of music ever?
Here are some of my favorites:

Square Enix and Nintendo games in general, considering Yoko Shimomura does the composing for a lot of them.
I like these tracks:
Beyond Good and Evil:

I dunno if this counts, but a remix of a song from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006):

Also I like the OST of Okami, Flowers PS3, Hotel Dusk, Tales...I can go and on...haha.
Crystal Chronicles' music is pretty good.
The best OST of any game is found in Tales of Legendia. I can't link one because I'd end up linking the whole soundtrack. Check it out. Seriously.
Kingdom Hearts.
Especially Birth By Sleep.

Castlevania for NES. Heck, most NES and SNES games.
Video Game tracks make up most of my favorite music.
-Saving spot for examples-

@SilverFoxR: That isn't a bad track either. And BlazBlue OTSs are also awesome.

Kingdom Hearts has the best Video Game Soundtrack I have ever heard.
Mostly Final Fantasy Games, but specifically Final Fantasy 13. its a bit more hardcore than the rest of the games
Kingdom Hearts also has some pretty good ones.
Kirby games, Zelda games, and Final Fantasy games have the best soundtracks.
