Top Ten Best Video Game Composers
Behind brilliant pieces from Killer Instinct, and the Timesplitter series very underrated.
Made great music for Doom.
Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince are my favorite composers for the old school FPSs, their music is still really good today.
Can someone create violence through music, just music? This man can. The only way to define Mick Gordon's compositions is that they do not compliments something, that something compliments them. He puts life in every instrument he uses and mind it, this guy is really versatile with his work. His work has become iconic and once you hear it, it's really impossible to miss him out.
This man's legendary music is what lays the foundation of the Streets of Rage video game series. This man is way ahead of his time and will always be a legend!
Composes for all of the Kingdom Hearts and Mario & Luigi games.
There are not a lot of people who know the name Kyle Richards, but his music work includes MOD format songs that are absolutely perfect for action-packed sci-fi jet shooters. And the music Kyle has done worked great in the following games:
Terminal Velocity
Fury3 (and its expansion pack F!Zone)
Hellbender
Two of those are Microsoft games while the first one (Terminal Velocity) is by 3D Realms. Standout music tracks from Kyle include:
Tame, Back, Desert, Repo, Jest, Broke from Terminal Velocity
Fog, Mine, Waves, Into the Fray, Ground9 from Fury3
Rage from Hellbender
Has composed limit pushing soundtracks for otherwise forgettable games during the 8 bit and 16 bit era or gaming, such as Silver Surfer, Solstice, Pictionary, Plok, Time Trax, etc. He and his brother Geoff Follin are some of the most underrated video game composers in existence, and their soundtracks are more memorable than the games themselves.
