    Haven't heard of some of those games, let alone their composers. Where's Frank "Dune, C&C, Empire At War" Klepacki and Jeremy "Guild Wars, Elder Scrolls, KOTOR" Soule? Really disappointing list. I'm not angry, guys.. just.. disappointed...

    I would have liked to have seen Marty O'Donnell's name on that list. The halo theme is one of the most recognizable scores, and his work in ODST was amazing. Also lets not forget the Flintsone vitamin jingle that he wrote. A MILLION STRONG... and growing!

    david wise deserves a mention, i figured you guys wouldn't mention nobuo uematsu cause he's so well known... until i got to koji kondo. and yoko shiomura's street fighter 2 stuff was great too

    I loved Freedom Fighters, it's what really got me into the third-person shooter genre. That game was great, although I think I was the only one who borrowed it from my local rental store. ReCAPTCHA: '40 reunions'. If these guys had 40 reuinions, the world would implode with their musical brilliance.

    No Yoko Shiomura??? Her work in Kingdom Hearts was fantastic. And who could forget bowsers inside story, with the best final boss theme ever!! Koji Kondo is a genius! Also love the SOTC soundtrack too!
