Liscenced music you have found though video games

[likalaruku]

None. All the games I play have either orchestral or chiptunes soundtracks.

I already new about most of the bands but "Scarface the world is yours" apart from being a souless sequel to a movie a movei that left no opening to one had some pretty decent music.
Johnny Cash, Iggy Pop and they suited the game quite well.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

Found a lot of good songs from JSRF and Need For Speed: Most Wanted.
Not to mention I discovered Nico Vega's "Beast" from the trailers for Bioshock Infinite and The Silent Comedy's "Bartholomew" from the trailers for Dark Souls.
And I don't even play Dark Souls. I just saw the commercial on one day and thought "that is a really cool song."

 

[The Wykydtron]

I got this:




From this awesome video.


I think it's licensed anyway.

And like, EVERYTHING from Guitar Hero 3. I don't know why everyone thought that game was the first bad one... It's way better than 2

All of Fallout's soundtrack, Borderlands introduction for me to Cage the Elephant. I'm sure there are tons more, just these off the top of my head.

 

[Little Gray]

While I am ashamed to say it I will admit that I had never heard of Manowar until I played Brutal Legend. There are probably others especially from the first few tony hawk games. I can remember them having some amazing sound tracks and they really got me into punk and metal.
