It depends on the game, or game's setting.
For example, the castles and graveyards of Quake and Blood go excellent with dungeon synth:

There is also space synth for space-themed stuff, though I can't remember off the top of my head what I was playing when I put it on.

If I am recording a Doom demo, then I like the intensity of Filmmaker's music. I dunno what genre this is

I find Quake 2's retro-futurism goes really well with rock/metal, especially from that era
