1. Civilization IV

Civilization IV at number one?

There’s one good reason for that: the main theme, Baba Yetu, by composer Christopher Tin.

There really isn’t much to say. Just give it one listen, and tell us you don’t feel like your life has been changed in some way. Then you’ll know why it’s the only song composed for a video game that has won a Grammy Award. It’s even been performed by numerous choirs and orchestras all over the world!

This song feels like the anthem to humanity’s triumph over millennia of challenges. It’s an inspiring, uplifting, life-affirming melody – the soundtrack to life itself, and one of the most beautiful masterpieces of art that’ll ever touch your soul.

So there you have it – some of the best video game soundtracks in the world, all in one list. Feel like we left something out? Tell us in the comments section below!

By the way, if you love video game music, then prepare yourself for Video Games Live – a series of concerts that give the most memorable video game themes the epic orchestra treatment. The good news is they tour globally, so you’ll likely find them visiting your country one day. If you want to know more about Video Games Live, check out the following articles:
