11 Awesome Video Game Music Covers You Need To Listen To

Shenmue Theme (Shenmue)

Being one of the ten weirdos who would sell their own mother if it would persuade Yu Suzuki to continue the adventures of Ryo and company in Shenmue 3, I'm a huge fan of the series' signature score composed by Yuzo Koshiro. Original track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiqJzCp1vSQ This straightforward solo piano iteration of the tune gives me goosebumps. If I could play the Shenmue theme on piano like this guy, I'd probably never leave the house. Awesome cover: by MrBonusStage1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w2DvFR4StE
