The Gravity Rush soundtrack would be my #1, hands down, while the others are sort of un-numbered.
It was hard to pick just a single track from it, but ultimately I think this one is the most unique. Otherwise, it easily has my favorite OST to come along in several years. Many, many fantastic tracks to choose from.

the buy the ending put me off AW but that's a cool tune.

It's a really quality game overall, but yeah, the DLC stuff irritated me. I bought it because I love the game so much regardless, and it's sitting on my PS3 harddrive at the moment, but I just wish I actually owned it.
Still a game worth playing though.

Also, surprised no one else has replied to this topic yet.

Videogame music is more something I go and listen to when I get a tune stuck in my head. I would really struggle to say what my top ones of the year where.

It was hard picking 5 in fact I'm going to take Game of Thrones off the list as i belive all but 1 track is actually from the TV shows soundtrack.

Without a doubt Journey and The Walking Dead. Maybe Max Payne 3 and Catherine too. And living in Europe I already played Xenoblade earlier but it can get my vote again ;)

I chose these because the music blends so perfectly with the game. Especially Journey stands out for me and I just read that the whole soundtrack got nominated for a Grammy. Apparently the first time ever for a video game.
Every part of the soundtrack reflected perfectly what the gamer experienced while playing which impressed me. It didn't feel like background music but part of a whole somehow. An otherworldly spiritual feel in a way which had me floored actually.

^^Journey's music is indeed beautiful. I didn't mention it because I still haven't played it. But strangely enough, that's the main thing that makes me want to play it.
That's probably kind of weird, isn't it? Wanting to play a game because it literally sounds so good.
Well, either way, your post has reminded me that I need to play it, so I'll probably grab it up tomorrow when I'm at the store buying The Walking Dead game for my brother. Might even get the soundtrack, too. Just looked it up, and unlike most soundtracks for western-made games, they actually came out with a physical cd release.
Cool beans.

Journey, Botanicula and Bientôt L'eté. Journey was so good in fact, i just got an email today saying it was nominated for a grammy.

Here's a sample of the others:
