1. Beserker vs Gilgamesh battle theme - Fate Zero
2. Cry for IDOLA, the holy - Phantasy Star Online
3. Fish Silent Cruise - Ghost in the Shell
4. Engage - Guilty Gear Xrd
5. Somewhere in the Silence - Ghost in the Shell

This thread has gone on too long without a mention of Donkey Kong Country.

I'm not sure I have a top five - at least, not in any order. The following are just the first video game songs that come to mind given the topic (leaving anime out because I have a very limited exposure to the medium and would be a poor judge given that fact).

Don't Speak Her Name - Fire Emblem Awakening (3DS)
Gerudo Valley - LoZ Ocarina of Time (N64)
Baba Yetu - Civilization IV (PC)
Spark Mandrill - Mega Man X (SNES) (This game was on point with its music... hard to pick just one)
Whole fucking soundtrack - Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 (WiiU)

Honorable mention to Monster Hunter, which has several great themes (Ukanlos comes to mind).

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Gerudo Valley - LoZ Ocarina of Time (N64)
Spark Mandrill - Mega Man X (SNES) (This game was on point with its music... hard to pick just one)
Whole fucking soundtrack - Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 (WiiU)

A man of impeccable taste, right here.

[Flames of Hyperion]

5. Zoids Chaotic Century (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-eFTDxVcCo) - This used to get me going all the time lol.
