Dang I feel old. I haven't even heard of most of these bands mentioned...

Bought this on iTunes a few weeks back, I really dig it. Especially the Contra song and the 2 part Ninja Gaiden medley.

My favorite in the album is actually the Double Dragon one. It sounds JUST like it did in the NES game when I was a kid... What? My imagination was AWESOME back then :P
Oh, and the Zelda 2 one would be my second favorite.

This is probably complete heresy to say, but I just haven't been able to get into most of the "gamer music". I think a lot of it has to do with the use of real instruments. I do like some of the remixes.
This is pretty badass though:

Here's an example of what I like from the remix side of things (most of you will likely hate it):

The Doors, Weezer, Rolling Stones, Kanye West and Skrillex are in my car right now. I've really gotten into Skrillex since last November.
I also used to really like 311, N.E.R.D., Marilyn Manson, Blink 182 and Switchfoot (Back when they were still on a Christian music label, they were god damn amazing!)
My music is very much a representation of my life: COMPLETELY RANDOM
Here's one of my favorite songs of all time:

Spacehog is cool stuff. As far as "nerd" music, I havent really listened to it. I do like some game soundtracks however.
