• The composer of almost every game soundtrack created by Eidos Studios, including Hitman, Freedom Fighters and Assassin's Creed. Some of his most notable songs are Apocalypse and a beautiful re-imagining of Franz Schubert's Ave Maria for Hitman: Blood Money. Also of note is Freedom Fighter's Title Theme and March of the Empire.
• The title theme from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.
  • Heck, pretty much anything from Hitman 2. Desert Sun or 47 in St Petersburg anyone?
  • This troper found the Jungle Exploration Theme from Hitman Codename 47 to be quite catchy.
  • This troper's favourite song of Blood Money is probably Main Title. Every time he hears it, he visualises it being played over a huge air battle.
  • And then there's Contracts' incredibly badass theme song.
  • The club themes, with Contracts having Slaughter Club and Blood Money having Club Heaven.
• Assassin Creed's Access The Animus.
  • So, so many from Assassin's Creed 2, many of which use the same leitmotif.
    • Ezio's Family
    • Earth is pretty amazing. It's played when Ezio gets his father's Assassin's robes and dons them for the first time...let's just say EPIC.
    • Flight Over Venice Part 1 and Part 2. Flying over Venice and Forli in a real, WORKING version of Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine? What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome??
    • Back in Venice
    • Venice Rooftops isn't too shabby either
  • Back to the original Assassin's Creed, there are quite a number of songs which were very underrated but is creepy yet awesome on their own. Originally what this troper thought as part of the Meditation Of The Assassins, this most well-known version actually contains tracks from Acre, which is from the start of your assassination mission and includes the time when you stalk your targets unnoticed until you deliver the killing blow (while still being Anonymous). There are versions with similar rhythms to this one, for example:
    • this. Seek to 02:53 and you'll notice this is playing while you're stalking your targets in Damacus.
    • And this. Seek to 05:45 and you'll notice this part plays while you're stalking your targets in Jerusalem. Unfortunately targets in Jerusalem seem to not like you to have a chance to hear this play at all, but you can hear this playing while in Arsuf, albeit on a bit of a faster tempo.
• And now we have Assassin's Creed Revelations. And its music. Its glorious, GLORIOUS MUSIC.
• Unreal Tournament III. Look at the examples in the Unreal page for details.
• The Adventures Of Batman & Robin for the Genesis. Never has rave music sounded so epic.
• .59 remix, from Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2, an energetic version of dj TAKA's classic .59 .
