Here at Tribute Incorporated, we are always striving to help gamers with everyday life, and today is no different.

Wondering if Blink 182 will help you with Burnout? Bothered if Steps with Stump your progress with Super Smash Bros.? Well, with our experiment today, we will put things to the test help you with your desicions.

We're going to make people play different games whilst listening to certain music, and see if it has any influence on how they play. hopefully we will find something, otherwise we'll make it up

Test 1 - Super Monkey Ball - Iron Maiden 'Number of the Beast'

The narrative introduction seemed to have no effect on the youngster as he rolled around the 'advanced' levels, but once the song got heavier, so did his hands, and he was soon dropping off of the levels and committing monkey suicide every few seconds, not that he seemed to care - He had a smile on his face all the way through, and occasionally through his pad down to the floor to mosh along with Bruce Dickinsons vocals.

Helpfulness - 2 out of 10

Test 2 - Grand Theft Auto 3 - Limp Bizkit 'Break Stuff'

After this experiment we found out that violent games and violent songs end up in... erm... violence. The song gave the player some kind of super powers - being able to dodge bullets, kill 10 police men with one punch, and being able to get the cars he wanted in less than 1 minute of him wanting them. It all went sour when a tank ran over his brand new mafia car, and he soon trashed our room - which was padded, of course. We charged him for the crisps that he ate, and gave him a free complementary hoodie so that he could walk round his town centre on a Saturday thinking he was hard.

Helpfulness - 6 out of 10

Test 3 - Kuru Kuru Kuru in - S Club 'Stomp'

A girl gamer was given this project, as all the males were either too camp to participate, or refused to listen to such trash as they showed off their new Eminem ringtone... Ha! Anyway, S Club was pure, un-adulterated success. The 13 year old who was doing the gaming danced along to the song as she breezed through the last level on KKK in hard mode. This was a shock to us all as, having let her try the game on the training levels in easy mode and seeing her crash and burn in that.

Helpfulness - 10 out of 10 (For women only)

Test 4 - Mario Party 4 - Guns 'N' Roses 'November Rain'

We stole this game from... Erm... mean we got permission for Nintendo of Europe to use this game before it was publicly released. We had to get a few people in to play this one - A giddy 5 year old, A teen and a 30 year old. After setting them up on a basketball mini - game, we left the room, and watched them hammering away at the buttons. All was going well and fine until Slash started to hammer out his spectacular funeral guitar solo, at which pont the 30 year old man promptly began to cry, out of his lost youth. Once the teen had realised that this 'old' man was down and depressed, he let out a scream of laughter, and pointed at him. With both of the other out, it left the 5 year old to take he throne with a measly 2 baskets.

Helpfulness - 3 out of 10

So you used to think that what music you listened to whilst playing didn't influence what you was doing on screen? Well the report conclusively shows that it actually DOES, and anybody who disagrees should realise that it is all lies. Indeed
