Halo has always been strong on the music. I imagine this comes from the cinematic vision of the game; from the outset the wanted the music to match. I don’t think there are many games that have had their themes made available as a Guitar Hero download, after all. There’s a lot going on with […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.
Turn Me On – Console Wars
This is a parody of Nicki Minaj. I do not believe I’m familiar with the original but believe I’m in the demographic The Warp Zone are aiming for with this video. The question they ask is; which console would you pick? I’m not sure but approve of Ryan Tellez’s Borderlands t-shirt. The YouTube credits tell […]
Inspiration for the dark Roman Britain RPG: 43AD

This week Geek Native published a look inside the game and in this post, we explore some sources of inspiration that author, Paul Elliott of Zozer Games, draws and recommends.

Expert Skyrim modding … Gangnam style
PSY’s Gangnam Style has overtaken Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe on Youtube. At the time this post went live Call Me Maybe has had 277,507,871 views and Gangnam Style, up for less time, has had 330,237,519. What an incredible total. Geek Native has already posted an “It will not die” zombie cover of Gangnam […]
Cats sing a deadly Star Wars theme song
Are there words for videos like this? This is actually a second generation “cats sing” video as the original is Game of Thrones opening sung by a cat which, at the time of posting, has had over 2,000,000 views. 2 million views amounts to money. This Star Wars version, at the time of posting, is […]
It will not die!
Are you fed up of this yet? Of Gundam Style… oops, sorry, Gungam Style? This blogger will admit to having been very careful about which of the million mashups and covers he’s watched – less than, oh, 10 in total, so one more brief clip doesn’t hurt. This is Plants Vs. Zombies with the zombies […]
Nekrogoblikon “No One Survives”
I’m not normally a fan of death metal – but this one caught my attention. Perhaps it’s because it’s a good retelling of the traditional fantasy story of the work stressed goblin, bothered by co-workers while dreaming about getting the girl. I wonder why they call this track “No One Survives”? Fan? There’s a Facebook […]
140 tracks in Hollens’ & Stirling’s Game of Thrones mashup
Geek Native have featured these two before. Lindsey Stirling plays the violin and first started to appear on geeky blogs by dressing up as Zelda characters for her videos. Peter Hollens is a melody guy – creating hundreds of tracks for a single song with his voice alone. Their Skyrim video was a mega success. […]
Violin medley of Zelda music
If you rather liked Taylor Davis’ collection of Zelda music in this video then you might well be tempted by her “Gaming Fantasy” album out for iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. How many of the songs did you recognise in the medley? I’ve watched more Zelda than I’ve played but I recognised a fair few […]
Sony Xperia’s “Unleash your music on the world” ad ramps up NFC
Apple has announced an event for September 12th and so the speculation around the iPhone 5 begins. One heated area is NFC (near field communication) and whether the iPhone will support it or not. Lots of people want the feature but some of the best tipped pundits are saying it is unlikely. This Xperia ad […]
