Sony announced the full soundtrack for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue in the US. There are quite a few tracks that separate this from the European and Japanese versions of the game. I have to say, I’m fairly impressed. Some great stuff here.
- Weezer – “Automatic” (LA Riots remix)
- The Mars Volta – “Goliath” (EL-P remix)
- Justice – “Let There Be Light”
- SebastiAn – “Dolami”
- Kavinsky – “Testarossa Autodrive” (SebastiAn remix)
- DJ Shadow – “LOVE LOVE”
- Does it Offend You, Yeah? – “With a Heavy Heart (I Regret to Inform You)”
- The Earaches – “Not the Kind of Man I Am”
- Thin Lizzy – “The Rocker (Richard Evans Mix)”
- The Klaxons – “Golden Skans”
- Friendly Fires – “On Board”
- Pride Tiger – “Let ‘Em Go”
These are just the exclusive tracks for North America. Check out the full track list after the jump.

If you’re keen on listening to your own tunes while playing games, you’ve probably been disappointed with the PS3 thus far. MLB 08 The Show looks to add some remedy, as you’ll be able to customize your in-game soundtrack with music stored on your PS3 hard drive. Oh yeah, this works on the PSP as well!
I’ve never been too big into custom soundtracks. I usually like to rock whatever is in the game. But this is something I’ll definitely try out, since I do have a decent amount of music on my PS3 and PSP.
Don’t forget, demos for the PS3 and PSP version of MLB 08 The Show come out later today with the weekly PlayStation Store updates.

Everyone’s favorite cheat code is in the lyrics of a song on the Juno Soundtrack. “Anyone Else But You” by The Moldy Peaches contains the cool line:
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
The song is performed by the two main characters at the end of the movie, but the Konami Code doesn’t make it into the movie, but does make the soundtrack. The movie’s pretty cool too, not just the one line from the soundtrack. Check if out if you haven’t seen it.

The Sex Pistols are getting back together to re-record their smash hit “Anarchy in the U.K.” for Guitar Hero III.
The Sex Pistols were an obvious choice for Guitar Hero, having established themselves as the definitive punk band of the 1970s. Unable to locate the original multi-tracks for inclusion in the game, Activision invited the band back into the studio to re-record a couple of songs including “Anarchy in the U.K.” Original members John Lydon on vocals, guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook re-teamed with producer Chris Thomas, utilizing the original analog sound desk (circa 1969) that was built for George Martin at Air Studios, London, England in order to maintain the classic sound.
There looks to be a lot more master tracks in Guitar Hero III than previous games, which should add to the game. I can’t wait to start shredding to some new tracks.
