i don't either its too damn cheesy

a game's OST is the only thing that fits a game 

I don't agree to the idea that some genres are right and others are not for credits or intros. Any song, even if cheesy, can fit a videogame, specially if we are talking about the credit sequence. Who would have said that Florence and The Machine or Lisa Miskovsky could do into a memorable ost? I even remember how excited I was back in the day when I finished the first Silent Hill and during the credits I heard a Tango!

By the way, you both chose great songs, specially The Mission's Wasteland, I never heard it. Instant classic! I think it could have fit that Rockstar game in which you were a killer who scaped from a mental institution. What was its name again?

You need to embeb while using the old code (last check box on youtube).

By the way, you totally nailed it with Assassin's Creed song. Great choices, all of them.

It's a shame such a great idea isn't getting people more involved. I got to discover some great artists on this page and I hope it continues. And thanks pariz.

most of the stuff i listen to isn't well known, since you liked that song then i suggest you listen to their other songs, theyre a great band of course in my opinion (not a lot of people like that style, but i do prefer the "bass" vocals, rather than the High pitched vocals like for example AC/DC)
here are some of the songs from them

Games such as Lord of Thunder and F-Zero are perfect fit for heavy metal music which is why some nice guitar riffs are in these games.  Just trying to throw out genres that fit decently with heavy metal.
