I consider myself to be a video game music connoisseur, and I have found that the best video game music for its time period comes from Phantasy star III, for the sega genesis. The music actually brings out the emotion so well, and it was using a 16 bit system, so it is quite impressive. Other games, such as the Tales of Symphonia, or Final Fantasy games, do that as well.
I'm very fond of video/pc game music... some of my favorites come from Time Splitters such as : Neo Tokyo, Chicago, Circus, Siberia and Notre Dame. But then I also really love Le Ali Del Principio from Baten Kaitos.
The Jet Set Radio Future sountrack is really good. Probably the best soundtrack for a game I ever heard.
+1000000000000 I love this soundtrack so much! I have it on my iPod!
Another favourite of mine has to be the Ridge Racer series (yes these are on my iPod as well, along with Portal 2!) Funny enough that I'm listening to RR right now :P
All of the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy Music is some of the best video game music i've heard, but recently the japanese version of Simple and Clean has taken the cake for the best.
The Final Fantasy composer has to be recognized as one of the best game score composers of all time. He's the Hans Zimmer of games. I would get mad at my brother for playing the game without me because I wanted to hear the start-up music and the traveling music, and the Blitzball music, and everything! I like Metal Gear Solid's music as well. I wanted to go to a symphony orchestra performance of these things with my boyfriend at the time.
I tend to like the exciting music from racing games, too. I've taken a lot of songs from Need for Speed and put them in my iTunes library. I also like the soundtrack made for Dreamcast's Speed Devils. I've sung them outside of playing the game lol.

What about Utada's Japanese version of Sanctuary? "Passion"! I'm trying to memorize the lyrics myself xD I prefer Passion to Sanctuary AND Simple and Clean!
i loved the soundtrack for ookami. it's such an
amazing game~ i actually have it downloaded
on my computer right now~ my favorites have to
be 'cursed shinsu field' any of ushiwaka's themes,
and 'reset ~ thank you version'. such a lovely
accompany ment of music <3
square enix games in general have really nice
music. like, the world ends with you. i really
love the music from it~ i'm still looking to getting
the ost~ @ u @ also kingdom hearts, i own
a cd collection of that... and final fantasy. where
to even begin? such... remarkable, iconic music.
x 3 x hrm... i'm probably missing many, but i'm
too lazy to go ahead and say them...
oh! togainu no chi. it's a visual novel game, but
it's music is amazing <3
I like the piano theme from Tales of Graces f. It's so pretty!
And also the opening theme which is sung by BOA. I'm not sure whether I like her Japanese version better or the English one, but they both sound great!
Final Fantasy does an amazing job with their soundtracks and so does the "Tales of" series.
I really love this song :) 11 Eyes Opening - YouTube its the opening for this Japanese game called "11 Eyes" It also has an anime based on this game but the opening for that is different.
