Nine Songs You Will Forever Link to Video Games

Save and Quit - "There are certain songs that you hear in movies or the radio that make you stop and go “Hey, isn’t that song from that one game?” Over the years, gaming has helped artists get their names into public knowledge, where they become forever embedded in our brains. Here is a look (listen?) at nine songs that, when heard, are instantly linked to a video game."

awesome unique article you wrote here. My favorites are Tony Hawk and Crazy Taxi. Those songs bring back very nice memories. Too bad the recent PSN/Xbox LIVE version of Crazy Taxi had all-new songs :(

Brash_Attack4693d ago

Tell me about it. I was all excited to be listening to Bad Religion and The Offspring on Crazy Taxi again when I downloaded it on XBLA. A sad let down. At least the game stayed the same (minus the Tower Records and KFCs).

Spydiggity4693d ago (Edited 4693d ago )

why was it a sad let down?

that SR-71 song reminds me way more of really un-funny teen "comedies" from a decade ago.

and the final countdown associated with saints row? i don't think so. Gob all the way!

and what about that Butthole Surfers song for the Play it Loud commercials?

im the king by royce da 59 in GTA III

zeal0us4693d ago (Edited 4693d ago )

that and
the pogo the monkey infomercials
Liberty City Survivors
the dumb guy who thought world be a better place if everyone was naked or something along those lines.

Man I miss SSX tricky.

Yup 10 in 2010 for crazy taxi is perfect. Always think of it when I hear that song and was bummed when they changed the soundtrack for the PS3 release.

Barajas_2014693d ago

how about the fallout 3 soundtrack, it was sweat!!! "his hacking, his waking, his smaking, his hack, wak, slap that dude" thats what it sounded like to me lol

HobbsCanuck4693d ago

to be honest, i put some of those on my ipod :S

Barajas_2014693d ago (Edited 4693d ago )

no shame bro, i did too :P

Relientk774693d ago

That's a pretty good list, definitly agree with majority of these picks. I would add GLaDOS "Still Alive" to the list from Portal.

Brash_Attack4693d ago

It did come to mind, but I was going for songs that weren't really written for video games. More songs that were put out on albums or whatever and used in video games. Coulton wrote Still Alive for Portal.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
