10 Great Songs You Associate With Great Games

4. "Mad World" By Gary Jules

Sometimes a song gets so intertwined with a game that it becomes hard to separate the two. This is true of the Gears of World franchise and "Mad World" by Gary Jules.

Their first association came with the release of the first game in of the franchise in 2006, Gears of War. "Mad World" was used in one of the trailers, a song with a feel that was the polar opposite to the action in the video. It stood out and people took notice.

The association between Gears of War and Gary Jules didn't stop there. It was used again in a Gears of War 3 trailer and an instrumental version of the song also plays at the end of the Gears of War 3 campaign.
