G.O.W. (Remix)

So normally I'd leave the vid game posts to Babylon or Big Irish, but this is actually more of a music post, so I'll stake my claim.

Next week, Microsoft and Epic Games introduce the world to Gears Of War - a futuristic, "teamwork oriented, third person shooter from Epic utilizing the latest in Unreal technology." (from 1Up.com)

At a recent showing of Saw III (go see Borat instead!) with Babylon and JKaye, I had the pleasure of seeing the trailer for this game on the big screen, and it was, for lack of a better term, "bad-ass!" The best part for me, of course, was the use of the Michael Andrews/Gary Jules cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World," from the Donnie Darko soundtrack... You knew something this cool couldn't go long without being bastardized...

Thankfully, the bastardization is still early, and thus, not annoying or horrible yet. The creative youth of America has taken the video from the trailer and remixed it with their favorite songs...

First, here's the original trailer (originally seen by most of you on DavidBabylon.com):



And now, a few of the remixes:

(By far, my favorite: An extended version, set to "One," by Metallica.)


(Never have the words to Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue" sounded more apt.)


(Certainly the goofiest: "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats)


(The M.J. Special: "Listen to the first verse...")

Enjoy!
