The band/musician that best represents a video game.

[Red Rum]

What music from one of your favorite bands or musicians best represents one of your favorite video games?

For me, it's Rage Against The Machine for "Red Faction: Guerrilla," because most of their songs are about the destruction of corrupt governments and the blossoming of freedom.

Iron Maiden covers most WW2 games in my opinion.

I get a Guns N Roses vibe from Gears of War, oddly enough.

Faunts for Mass Effect (helps they did the final credits song)

example song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG6DEW-PQMA

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Cannibal Corpse works well with Harvest Moon, nothing like hearing Entrails Ripped From a Virgin's **** when you're milking cows.

 

[OniSuika]

NWA with Farcry 2. You'd understand if you'd seen it.

 

[fedpayne]

Um, anything with Audiosurf.

Maserati's album "Inventions For the New Season"seems like it would make a great soundtrack for an open world action game since it's got a great variety of intense as well as serene tracks that each have a different theme.

I've never really heard Iron Maiden, but it seems inappropriate to associate heavy metal with WW2...

Oh wait! WW2 games! silly me. Yeah, that's alright. sorry.

Iron Maiden has a few songs such as "The Trooper" based around WWII.

I really like to listen to Darkest Hour while playing any action game like Max Payne or Prototype.

 

[Remleiz]

i find black metal work well with any ott hack and slash game

 

[delet]

Symphonic Metal to puzzle games like Hexic? nyess....

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Beatles for Half life.

Just replace Maxwell's hammer for a crowbar.

 

[Soxafloppin]

if you listen to the mortal kombat theme, while playing mortal kombat, you will go all floppy at the awesomeness of it,

MORTALL KOMBAAAT
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO, DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO,

 

[TaborMallory]

iwrestledabearonce works strangely well with Geometry Wars.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

I liked listening to Sleep while playing Kameo. Both have fantasy themes and names with 5 letters.

 

[nYuknYuknYuk]

I used to listen to Coldplay's X&Y while playing KOTOR. It fit really well.

 

[Sigel]

Moby or FatBoySlim

 

[Flying-Emu]

Beatles for Half life.

Just replace Maxwell's hammer for a crowbar.

... See, now I have to go and replay Half-Life with Beatle's tracks on.

I could totally see G-man singing "I am the Walrus"

For some reason "Gravemakers and Gunslingers" by Coheed and Cambria seems like it could be in the trailer for the new game "Red Dead Redemption."

The trooper isn't about world war 2...Aces high, however, is.
