 "TGS 2006: Need for Speed Carbon Update")
EA has implemented different genres of music to denote the different classes of cars in their upcoming racer Need for Speed Carbon. Loud muscle cars will be represented by rock bands like Wolfmother, Eagles of Death Metal and more while the tuners will roll to the beats of bands like Goldfrapp and Ladytron (who?). Last, but not the least you’ll have hip-hop artists like Lady Sovereign and Roots Manuva accompanying luxury cars. And here’s a better look at the game’s OST:

I can honestly say I haven’t heard of most of these artists.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
