1. David Bowie - Omikron: The Nomad Soul
Quantic DreamYes, you read that correctly - David Bowie. In 1999, music's most famous David teamed up with gaming's most famous David (David Cage) to collaborate on a PC and Dreamcast adventure title. Set in a dystopian futuristic city, the game was full of mystery, action, demons and often ill-fitting Bowie songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7bA57xNw20 One of the first game's from the revered creator of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, Omikron is a forgotten cult classic. Bowie wrote the entire soundtrack to the game, and while the songs originally appeared in Omikron, many were adapted and re-written for Bowie's album Hours, which came out later the same year. While the song doesn't set the world on fire, that creepy video above makes it all worth while. With genuine superstars like Bowie soundtracking games, who will be next? If enough huge cheques are written - anything is possible.
