Because I have WAY too much free time on my hands, our radio show has a theme for next week. Video games. Jim and I will be playing Mario Kart 64 in the studio and the music we will be playing will be rock songs used in games, game soundtracks, or even appeared on soundtracks of movies based off of games. Here's where I need help. I need song suggestions. If anyone knows any rock songs used in games, game soundtracks, or movies based from games, post them.
Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away (Halo 2) Did My Time - Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life (Soundtrack) Sadly I cant think of any others at the moment.
I was just thinkin myslef of that BB song on Halo 2. Yes, sadly, we have wayyyyyyyyy too much time on our hands. Goodbye kitties, kitties don't please me.
