A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
Nintendo Wii
Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (2009)
When You're Gone
Akira Yamaoka & Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
The music is the only reason I don't completely hate this game tbh. Really didn't feel like Silent Hill at all imo, aside from the music.
When someone asks me about Silent Hill, I say 'Mary Elizabeth McGlynn'. :3
+Superman pasoça '-'
Yeah Man... this lady murders these tracks
No it was the opening I believe
This has to be one of the weaker songs on these lists I must say
Oh, no way, this is the best. "Always On My Mind" is a close second.
Silent Hill 2 was the best in the series.
Agreed, Acceptance is one of the best.
IMO, "Hell Frozen Rain" and "Acceptance" are much more deserving of a spot on your list, but to each his own.
@SupraDarky If it really is your favorite series then you must hold hope for the best and not give up on it. If not you don't deserve to be fan in general.
I have been listening to this far, far too often.
This song sparked my interest into the Silent Hill Series again :) I've played them all till The Room, which was so bad I stopped playing any silent hill after that. Definitely gonna try this one tho, on PS2 because I don't own nor want a Wii. :)
Yeeeah, this really fits the game. And it's awesome. Just like the game was. Best SH since SH3, as far as I'm concerned. A step back in the right direction for the series.
Damnit, this just grows on you the more you listen to it. <3 Clearly favourited from me now.
Not my favorite song in the Silent Hill series, but still a great song. Anyone know where I can download it?
@puklop that is very sad news. I can't picture a Silent Hill game without him as composer. I think they honestly should stop making them if this is true. I'm being serious.
I love the song, sure it's not typical Silent Hill music but great nonetheless.
Nice song,it really fits in the game.
@SupraDarky Anything in a video game that is made for that game alone is Video Game Music, lyrics or not. If it's made for outside, like a Band or artist, of a game, it's not Game Music. (Good example: GTA series = None Music(Or barely.) DDR remixes(Tons of them.) = VGM
Its sad that this will be the last Silent Hill game with the guy who usually does the Silent Hill music, Akira Yamaoka .
friends I can borrow the game from* Funny typo though. :P
Neat song, and Silent Hill (any game) are one of the few series I never tried before. I'm missing out huh, but I have friends I can borrow at some point.
@poonisman yeah he look like him but his nose is too big compared to james
Note that I agree with the fact that it has that commercial sound (Yamaoka usually means real live rock instruments, drums etc.), I simply disagree with the fact that it shouldn't be considered video game music, for the reason I said above.
I have to disagree. Unlike some other commercial songs used in video games like the vocal themes in Kingdom Hearts, all the vocal songs in the SH series were specifically composed and written for the games by Yamaoka. No other criterias should be needed for them to be considered game music. As you say, it probably comes from your traditionalist side.
While i agree that it doesn't sound like video games music, I feel it still sounds good. And in the end that's what matters.
When I first heard this on a trailer for the game I loved it. Not very Silent Hill-ish, but I like it anyway. :)
Now that Akira Yamaoka left the company, it might as well be over for this series. His direction and music was at least half of the games. Really sad because SH is my favorite survival horror series.
