    Didn't see him mention, but Bastion was mentioned and that was Darren Korb. That music made an already amazing game so much better. It's probably worth mentioning that some of the music from League of Legends has been really good lately.

    But I find it hard to like Jack Wall from Mass Effect. It's good... atmospherically, I never liked it.

    Of those I'd say Hans Zimmer, because he also makes completely awesome movie music and I can't split my own bias on that (New Batmans, Inception etc).I'd like to make a shout out for Micharl McCann as well, the composer of the music in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I haven't enjoyed the music in a game as much in a long time.

    Michael Hoening - Only game related work he has done is Baldur's Gate franchise. And I simply love soundtrack of BG serie.

    It's criminal that you don't included Frak Klepacki in the poll!

    The guy is responsible for making C&C and the Dune RTS games have the most rockenest soundtracks around. That and he did worked on pretty much every Westwood game from 1990 till they closed shop.

    Jesper Kyd.

    His music for the Hitman and Assassin's Creed series have been completely fitting to the setting of the game.

    EDIT: He's not in the poll?! What the heck man..

    Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori handsdown. I think I've never felt the same as I did when I played Halo 1

    I think "Kota Hoshino" is the best. His creation was in "Metal wolf chaos" .

    Hans Zimmer hans down! He's the best composer full stop outside of gaming, so as soon as he entered the arena so to speak.....

    On the list probably Soule but generally my favorite is Matt Uelmen. Torchlight 2's music is just mindblowing

    Akira Yamaoka being last makes me genuinely sad for the state of things. Him being below the guy who did the freaking MW2 soundtrack is completely fucked up.

    I love the Halo theme. Halo has one of the greatest soundtracks out there.
