Game Character Theme songs

[Kiytan]

Asator by amon amarth for kratos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtxJg7xQL8s - not made by me)
or blood red sandman if that is a little too extreme.

I'm trying to think of a themetune for kain (from the legacy of kain series) but just can't

 

[KreacherOfbloodandRank]

just a few For the Team Fortress 2 crew:

Scout: Kickstart My heart - MOtley Crue

engineer: Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters

Oh, and my greatest choice!:

Demoman: Whats left of the Flag - Flogging molly

Here it is in a KH AMV (couldnt find a better video)

[KreacherOfbloodandRank]

Oh, just a few more for TF2:

Spy: Selfish Man - Flogging Molly

Sniper: Desparado - The Eagles

Medic: Reise Reise - Rammstein

Heavy: Malchik Gay - T.A.T.U (what can i say? the heavy loves that faux lesbian russian pop music =/)

 

[Mstrswrd]

...Uh... um... damn, I'm not good at this (don't listen to much music). Well, Dante (DMC) works really well with the main theme from DMC3, but seeing as that's not the point of this, I'd have to say... crap... uh... really any hard rock and/or speed metal song would work for him. Also, "Under the Influence" by Rusty Cooley kind of works for Leon Belmont, from "Castlevania: Lament of Innocence." Many parts of the song have a very Castlevania vibe to them.

Thought of another good one...

The hero from Shadow of the Colossus:
Moneen - Don't Tell Locke What He Can't Do

Imagine making that final stab...
"Yes I Caaaaaannnn..."

 

[Seldon2639]

Yuna from FFX/FFX-2: Pretty When You Cry (VAST)

Altair: Killing An Arab (The Cure), if not only for the Camus reference, but the aptness

Kefka (From FFVI, or FFIII, depending on perspective): When You're Evil (Voltaire)

Cloud (FFVII): I Think I'm A Clone Now (Weird Al)

Master Chief: Another One Bites The Dust (Queen)

Mass Effect Main Character: A Little Less Conversation (Elvis Presley)

 

[The Franco]

Two more I thought up:
Zant from Twilight Princess (for the first half of the game at least):
"Everything Went Black" - The Black Dahlia Murder

and

Simone Belmont from Castlevania 2:
"What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse" - The Black Dahlia Murder

/* Same band, same album, but it's one of my favorites */

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

i just thought of the most obvious one maybe two

Down with the sickness- Vincent Valentine- FF7

sonic- Speed- Atari youth foundation

go go go go go check that second one out

speed speed
speed speed

its such a fast song its plainfully obvious

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Cryptosporidium-If I only had a brain

Its not the brains, its the stems, and they don't do that in the second one.

I only ever played the first one, what is the MO in the second one?

 

[Iffypop]

Master Chief already has a theme tune, it's the Halo 2 theme, and it is awesome.

 

[Frosk]

Gordan Freeman - Determined by Mudvayne

Michelle (Portal) - Hole in the Earth by Deftones

Protagonist (TimeShift) - Time is on My Side by the Rolling Stones

Any GTA main character - Welcome to the Jungle by Guns & Roses

Kratos (God of War) - Wish by Nine Inch Nails

Paul Jackson (Call of Duty 4) - Die for Your Government by Antiflag or Disposable Heroes by Metallica

Altair (Assassin's Creed) - Before I Forget by Slipknot

Jack (BioShock) - Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine

Marcus Fenix (Gears of War) - Fucking Hostile by Pantera

 

[Frosk]

GTA should be obvious. The song is about Axl's first time in LA (edit: written about LA not about a trip to LA) and as soon as he stepped off the bus some one told him "You know where you are? You're in the Jungle. You're gonna die." (edit: Song written in Seattle about his first trip to New York) So it was a play on that and if you listen to the lyrics of the song they do kinda fit.

Wish is being used to describe Kratos' relationship with Ares.

Maybe Before I forget should be for Desmond Miles and not Altair, makes more sense that way. Mostly looking at the fact that Desmond knew these things and didn't know about it.

Know Your Enemy for Jack, because of the twists in the games plot.

 

[Anton P. Nym]

I would be personaly insulted if they wasted a Breaking Benjaman song on Master Chief

Tee-hee-hee... Breaking Benjamin wrote a song for the Halo 2 soundtrack. ("Blow Me Away" on the soundtrack album; an instrumental version played in the Mausoleum battle.) And they're the ones who approached Bungie, by the way.

As for a character leitmotif, how about the Eagles' "Life in the Fast Lane" for Niko in GTA4?

[Anarchemitis]

Dante from Devil May Cry: That Cat is High by Manhattan Transfer

Me in Red Alert 2: Mars, god of War by Gustav Holst

Barney from HL2: The Ballad of Black Mesa by Litfuse Films. It's really neat if you haven't seen it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTbL5elVXrU].

 

[BaldingSteve]

Me in Red Alert 2: Mars, god of War by Gustav Holst

I never thought of using a classical song. nice thought. I presonally like Jupiter: Bringer of Jollity, but that's me.
