Kratos (God of War) - Wish by Nine Inch Nails

Paul Jackson (Call of Duty 4) - Die for Your Government by Antiflag or Disposable Heroes by Metallica

GTA should be obvious. The song is about Axl's first time in LA (edit: written about LA not about a trip to LA) and as soon as he stepped off the bus some one told him "You know where you are? You're in the Jungle. You're gonna die." (edit: Song written in Seattle about his first trip to New York) So it was a play on that and if you listen to the lyrics of the song they do kinda fit.

Wish is being used to describe Kratos' relationship with Ares.

Maybe Before I forget should be for Desmond Miles and not Altair, makes more sense that way. Mostly looking at the fact that Desmond knew these things and didn't know about it.

Know Your Enemy for Jack, because of the twists in the games plot.

 

[Anton P. Nym]

I would be personaly insulted if they wasted a Breaking Benjaman song on Master Chief

Tee-hee-hee... Breaking Benjamin wrote a song for the Halo 2 soundtrack. ("Blow Me Away" on the soundtrack album; an instrumental version played in the Mausoleum battle.) And they're the ones who approached Bungie, by the way.

As for a character leitmotif, how about the Eagles' "Life in the Fast Lane" for Niko in GTA4?

Me in Red Alert 2: Mars, god of War by Gustav Holst

Live and Learn - Crush 40 (sorry, had to)

[Anarchemitis]

Actually I rethink Barney.
Barney Calhoun: Invincible by Ok Go

/* Ok, it's not a game character but I like it anyway */

Logan Keller from Rainbow Six Vegas: Viva Las Vegas by Elvis

Main Character from Crysis: Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedeys

Kratos from God of War: Angel of Death by Slayer.

 

[Gooble]

In fact, the whole of Black Holes and Revelations could have been used as a soundtrack to HL2

 

[Tanthalos]

Link's song would have to be "Once Every Lifetime" by Jem

 

[Ironman2020]

HK-47: This Machine by Julien-K
Sam Fisher: Secret Agent Man by(who the bloody hell knows?)or I can't Decide by Scissor Sisters
Just about every main character from GTA: My Generation by Limp Bizkit
Jedi Exile from KOTOR II: Rise up by Drowing Pool or I can't Decide by Scissor Sisters
Turok (Is that his name?): Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n Roses

And I agree with Balding Steve. Link's got no social skills, so the sorry excuse for an existing being has...

NO CHANCE IN HELL
