We all love the songs of the best and most loved games of our youth or just from a few years ago. From songs that you can't stop listening too, to songs that you don't wanna get out of your head, Hello Wandering Traveler and welcome to this top 10 catchiest songs in gaming!
Now there is some ground rules. Of course, one song per franchise. No songs that aren't original songs from the game. Meaning, no Do You Believe in Magic from Meet the Pyro or Short Range Hero from Borderlands. And the most infamous theme, The Super Mario Theme, can't be on this list because of how obvious it's placement would be. Well, I hope you like this list!

Not very many people got why this doom had to have a new theme, but it was obvious. The game was going for a creepier feel, so they went to scarier feel with it. Fans of the game love this song and many people have done covers on such an awesome song. And the metal feel fits with the game's premise.
8. Honor for All

A very majestic song if you ask me. In the end of the great game of Dishonored, there was a song by Daniel Licht that was just an awesome and majestic song. A song about the freedom of those in parral, the song explained the game's premise and story very well, helping sum up the game in the 5 minutes that the song plays.

6. GLaDOS' Song
(Please visit the site to view this media)
This song touches any fan of the Portal series in the heart, since the song's lyrics are talking about the hidden love the GLaDOS had with Chell. I mean, Still Alive and Want You Gone touched in a humorous place, but this song gave what hidden character GLaDOS had and why she likes torturing Chell so much. It felt like it was just her wanting to kill her, but it was just motherly love in a nutshell.
No one really knows why this song wasn't included in the final product, but we can see why since the two other songs talked about how much of a nuisance she was. She said she was a problem, saying she destroyed her things, plans, guns, toys, basically saying she's a kid that GLaDOS didn't want. But, in Want You Gone, the lyric says, "Careline is in here too," possibly giving some homage to the deleted song. Well, in the end, the song still beats the other two.
5.Metal Gear Solid Theme

Oh, the eerie feeling when you listen to this song. This song is one of the most iconic and most recognizable song in horror gaming. Besides its familiar tune, the song is hard to even replicate. I tried doing it and I shaved my nails including the skin! My dad tried to do it, but he couldn't get past the first 6 seconds of the song. You have to be a master at playing guitar or anything string based.
3. The Elder Scrolls Theme

The Elder Scrolls theme is the best to me. It's the only one I like to hum to. If you've been a fan of the Elder Scrolls series since Marrowind, you might already know why it's so good. From a slow mellady to a shocking and exciting orchestraic masterpiece, I think this song has given the fans a great gift to remember.
2. The Fallout Theme

War... War Never Changes is what you think when you here the depressing piano beginning. As many artists say, the musci explains the premise and story that you are about to witness. This song did just that in a heart beat and we know that all fans don't want a replacement to this so original song.
1. The Legend of Zelda Theme
