Games & Music

Video games have come a long way since their humble beginnings and have become just as mainstream as reality TV nowadays. I could write about a lot of things here but i'm just concerned with the music they use in the commercials to advertise games these days. PURE GENIUS! What better way to make games more mainstream than to add mainstream music to sell them. There are so many songs that I probably wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen certain video game commercials and for the most part the song choice fits the game so well that i'm tempted to get it even though i wouldn't normally. Anyways just throwing that out there...i just wish they would follow in the GTA series footsteps and use some of the mainstream music in the actual game at relevant parts....check out some of what i'm talking about:

1) "My Hands" by Leona Lewis for "Final Fantasy XIII"






2) "Saeglopur" by Sigur Ros for "Prince of Persia (2008)"




3) "Breathe Me" by Sia for "Prince of Persia (2008)"



4) "Mad World" by Michael Ashley for "Gears of War"




5) "How It Ends" by Devotchka for "Gears of War 2"
