I keep listening to loads and loads of OST music, and I'm looking to diversify.
What games are known for their great original soundtracks?
Currently, I got all I want from Civ 5, Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance, and Rome Total War.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution and The Last of Us are two of my personal favorites.
EDIT: Also the BlazBlue series is killer if you are into that sort of thing.

The Witcher games have amazing soundtracks, especially the first game. And since you're looking for diversity, I'd also suggest to take a look at Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
Edit: Then there's also good oldies like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. I also liked quite a few soundtracks from The Cat Lady.
Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song, SaGa Frontier 1 & 2
Guild Wars
Legend of Mana
Lost Odyssey
Any Final Fantasy, but Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in particular for me
Chrono Cross
Dragon Age Inquisition is sounding like an amazing soundtrack. Trevor Morris was an excellent choice.

Handful of these games have great music scores and soundtracks
The Elder Scrolls
Halo
Gears of war
God of War
Hitman
Mass Effect
Dragon Age
Grand Theft Auto
Destiny
I'll mention a few, and then pick out a few of my favorite songs from each:
Heretic, a fantasy FPS which uses the Doom Engine: The Glacier & The Cathedral
Hexen, the sequel to Heretic: Shadow Wood
Hotline Miami: Miami Disco & Knock Knock
The original Deus Ex: NYC Streets & Oceanlab Complex
Stonekeep, a first-person RPG which was not well-received, but which I liked: Temple of Throggi & The Sewers
Chrono Trigger: Corridors of Time, Undersea Palace, & World Map 2300 AD
I could probably throw in some old NES tunes if I wanted, but I kinda feel like that's enough links for one post. ![]()
Borderlands
Silent Hill games
Homeworld
Manhunt
Assassin's Creed, 2, Brotherhood. (All very good listens IMO.)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Portal 2
Mirrors Edge
Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect 1-3
World Of Warcraft. (I really enjoy the BC music as well as Wraith of the Lich King the most. But still good music across all the expansions. Take a listen to the Shadowmoon Valley music, really dark and ominous.)
Dark Souls
Lost Odyssey
Shadow of The Colossus (One of my favorite all time games ever....period...........of all time. And the music is great!)
The list goes on but those are the ones I either enjoy the most or listen to the most.
EDIT:
The Witcher games
And Elder Scrolls of course, can't believe I forgot those two!
Other than the ones already stated.
Ar Tonelico.
A lot of great soundtracks out there, but I think Halo probably has the greatest set of music in gaming history. Martin O'Donnell really did an amazing job pulling out all the stops.
The Settlers III - Beautiful ambient/background tracks.
Freedom Fighters - Flat out amazing and catchy themes.
Crysis - Intro sounds familiar to DA fans? Because it's from the same group. Awesome tracks in there (Strickland's March!!!).
X³ Reunion/Terran Conflict & Albion Prelude - Almost exclusively ambient sounds, but most are so drop dead georgous you can listen to them for hours as you cruise through the game's massive space.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - No words, just links.
Mass Effect - The series soundtrack is good, but imho special sprops to the first one. Can't beat out nostalgia!
CnC: Red Alert 1 - Speaking of nostalgia *starts headbanging*
Would be amazed if it actually lets me post all those links.
Also, the Hell March from Command and Conquer: Red Alert and its sequels is immortal. My favorite version is the second one, but the other two are quite good. EDIT: Ninja'ed!
Ehehehehe.
Something to ease the feeling of having gotten ninja'd.
Uncharted games for the ps3
