The Kyd's music: game scores at its worst and best
I'm just listening to Batman and Robin, which, according to the tracks, is composed by Jesper Kyd (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1224245/). I can't really believe this, as it is such bad music, you have to hear it to believe it.
If you want to hear a good game score by Kyd, try Hitman: Blood Money. It's a nice orchestral score with chorus: http://rapidshare.de/files/22690289/blood___OST.rar.html
As mentioned in a post before, you find every game score of this planet here:

Does anyone have some ideas which games feature good symphonic scores ?
And don't forget that Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/2680
has a main title by Lalo Schifrin.
I'll be trying Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory right now (http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/1164/), which is the newest game score by Kyd (co-composed by Amon Tobin). Wait and see... damn, looks like the tracks are all by Tobin and are just crappy synthesizer music. Not recommended.

Howard Shore's SOUL OF THE ULTIMATE NATION is definitely tops!! Still only available as an import, tho. Hollister @ Jazz Notes (RIP) did have links up to files, but I've lost the URLs... and those links haven't popped up since the November Purges.
Well, Metal Gear Solid 2+3 have great scores:

http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/247
Then I would recommend the Orchestral Game Concert series which features some well known Nintendo-Games(Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy)

And every Dragon Quest Symphonic Suite owns!
