Well, since I've been in iTunes for half an hour now, buying half these songs, I'll bite!

Dragon's Dogma is a game with a load of boss-class critters. Each one has its own theme music--but whenever you manage to get one of those giant critters down to critical hit points, their theme fades out and this one fades in:

(Linking to the original composer's electric guitar remix, because I love it.)

It's just such a charge to hear it, every time. You've been fighting this enormous creature all over the map and getting the poo poo kicked out of you repeatedly and now you're finally winning. And then you strike the final blow and the game responds with this triumphant seven-note fanfare (at the end of the video) and it's such a rush, goddamn.

Also one of my personal favorites: the boss from the second level of the Dark Arisen expansion.

And, well, okay, there's also Death. The Grim Reaper is chasing you in his own terrible, patient fashion; from time to time you'll be down in the depths of the island getting the poo poo kicked out of you repeatedly (it's a theme) and with no warning the soundtrack cuts in to drop this on you:

and you whip around and you are in so much trouble, mister. At least until later in the game, when you will actively go seek him out and kick his boney rear end.
