My favourite video game rap song of all time is "The Video Game Song" by Sole and Alias. It's getting a little old, though, so Sole is back with a new game-heavy track, called "The Deadliest Game", and it's great. More »

Irrational's 'The Lost' Gets the Bollywood Treatment

Maggie Greene — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 20:00:14 EDT

I love promotional music videos for games, since they're usually so wonderfully terrible they're fantastic. It's even better when there's a weird story attached: GameSetWatch turned up a NeoGAF post regarding the fate of Irrational's cancelled release, The Lost. The game has resurfaced (with reworked graphics, but with core mechanics and story relatively intact) as an Indian release for PCs under the title of Agni: Queen Of Darkness. As GSW neatly sums up, "... evidently this title went south, Irrational got bought by 2K and turned their attention to BioShock, and FXLabs managed to rejigger it for a Bollywood PC release." But that's not all! It even got its own music video featuring Bollywood star Malaika Arora. I'm entranced. More »

Proving that it's not just the Japanese who can milk the pop star and video game connection (Squeenix and Gackt, I'm looking at you), Beijing Perfect World is assaulting the ears and eyes of the world with two songs by pop star Richie Ren, featuring terrifically awful Chinese pop in the way only Chinese pop music can be. Most of the clip looks like a rip off of Zhang Yimou's 2002 movie Hero, but with magic, demons, and overwrought pop stars. More »

Ki-No-Ko: Silent Hill 2 Music Video

brownlee — Fri, 26 May 2006 08:00:11 EDT

Even when in the context of a mellow and soothing video commercial, Silent Hill is pretty nightmarish. Reminds me a lot of Malden, Massachusetts, frankly.FLORIAN ECKHARDT More »
