German electronicore band Electric Callboy has deep ties to the gaming community. Their high-energy single "Hypercharged" was featured in the mobile game Brawl Stars, giving them a direct line into the world of interactive entertainment. Now, the band has turned the tables and shared their own list of the seven best video games that feature alternative songs.

The band members did not just pick obvious mainstream titles. Instead, they focused on games where the soundtrack elevated the experience through punk, metal, and electronic influences. One of their top picks includes a racing game known for its aggressive rock and metal playlist, which they argue fits the adrenaline of high-speed competition perfectly. Another choice is a cult-classic role-playing game that uses obscure indie tracks to set a moody, dystopian atmosphere.

They also highlighted a first-person shooter from the early 2000s that introduced many players to nu-metal and industrial rock. For a more recent entry, they selected a fighting game that mixes chiptune sounds with heavy guitar riffs. The list rounds out with a sandbox game that lets players discover alternative bands through in-game radio stations, and a horror title that uses eerie post-punk to build tension.

Electric Callboy noted that the right song can turn a good gaming moment into an unforgettable one. They praised developers who take risks with their soundtracks instead of relying on generic orchestral scores. For fans of both the band and video games, this list offers a solid starting point for discovering new music through old favorites.
