10 Great Songs You Associate With Great Games
8. "Power" By Kanye West
Saints Row is one of the best selling video game franchises of all time, combining action, adventure and racing into an open world framework. It tells the story of a gang called the Third Street Saints who seek to control the fictional city of Stillwater.
That description, while accurate, does not do these games justice. They are praised for their creativity and humor, if not outright zaniness, and Saints Row the Third was no exception.
One of the best choices made when marketing the game was backing the trailer with Kanye West's "Power." The trailer shows off the action and underlying weirdness Saints Row the Third had, while the song choice provides the energy and intensity to amp that vibe up.
It's a perfect match.
