Ah, speaking of silent hill: Silent Hill Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2cK8mOG4Q8&feature=player_detailpage#)
Also, I started playing eve during the apocrypha expansion: EVE online Apocrypha theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cq--Eay9Uo&feature=player_detailpage#) I stopped playing when the new expansion came out. I was so disappointed that I couldn't listen to the theme anymore (couldn't find a way to force the old theme to play... I tried :( )
Ahh, video game music :)
My favorites are :
Chrono Trigger - Frog's theme, Final Fantasy 7- Cosmo Canyon, Final Fantasy 9 - Kuja's Theme... all of the earthbound soundtrack <3
And many more, too many to think of!

Cool covers! You reminded me of how much I -love- Xenogears. Are you using digital media to compose? Keyboard?
Ooh, how could I forget the DKC series... :-\

Thanks! For that album, I used a combination of Noteworthy Composer, Modplug Tracker, and Adobe Audition. No keyboard. An unfortunate side effect of working outside of even temperament is that most instruments aren't capable of doing what I want them to...
Now, as long as we've got the openings to Silent Hill 1 & 2...
