I don't think this has been done before, if not, tell me.

I think that top bands should join up with game developers like Wipeout, and carmegedon 2. Beause the best non band music in a game is the shadow man theme. But it would be nice to have great bands feauturing in top games. But this doesn't seem to be happening, I think it would do good for both bussiness.

Write what you think. If you think bands should leave out games, or if you think eminems new single dhould be in FF11 say so (p.s. I DON'T LIKE EMINEM, but this is not about him.)

One word sheumue. But yes putting money into music should be used after the game is made, and that bands and games could come to a small payment, beause it is advertisement and improving the game all at once, so just £10,000 would be enough or maybe less.

I think the inherent problem with this is that getting permission to put a band's songs in your game is expensive. It's not like filmmaking, where the movie has a $50 million dollar budget. Videogames tend to be made anywhere from 1-6 million, so they don't have as much money to put into such things as getting a hit song on the thing's soundtrack. I'd rather they put that money into making the game play better, but that's me.
