Gran Turismo

Shouldn't there be music to listen to while you're zoning out with your Sony Playstation 2? And shouldn't it be music that races your pulse and turbocharges your reflexes? In other words, there's a reason why there's no Neil Diamond on the music portion of the 2-CD Playstation disc. Instead, it's hammerdown heavy metal, space age techno, or the Cardigans, whose melodically seductive "My Favorite Game" sounds suspiciously out of place among the likes of Apollo 440's "Cold Rock the Mic." You expect to see Rob Zombie and Moby listed here. But most amusing is the unexpected team-up of Fear Factory and Gary Numan for a remake of Numan's infamous new wave hit, "Cars." Doesn't say whether it's guaranteed to improve your overall performance. That must be part of the "Cool Moves from the Pros" on disc two.
