Для многих игр музыка - важнейший способ передать и усилить атмосферу игры...
В зависимости от жанра игры идет подбор исполнителей... от hard rock (гонки) до rap (бокс).
Для популярных музыкантов это и возможность подзаработать и лишний раз засветиться... такие игровые гиганты как EA - не размениваются на второй эшелон...

GTA: San Andreas has posted details on the game's soundtrack:

In-game radio stations have become one of the signature aspects of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, delivering a realistic radio experience by allowing players to tune the radio station in the huge selection of vehicles in the game to any station they like, complete with hours of satirical commercials and DJ banter that cleverly parodies a wide mix of radio formats. The radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will feature the most staggering selection of music ever assembled for a video game with over one-hundred and fifty tracks from artists including James Brown, Willie Nelson, 2 Pac, and Rage Against the Machine plus many, many more that encompass a great deal of the radio spectrum of the early 90’s The double CD also includes as a bonus track an exclusive cover of the Nine Inch Nails early 90s industrial staple “Head Like A Hole” by Northern Californian punk band AFI, who formed in 1991.

"EA SPORTS Fight Night is a spectacularly brutal game with bone-crunching gameplay and photo-realistic visuals. We wanted to make sure that the soundtrack is as powerful as the boxer's punches," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "Each song gets your heart pounding and makes you want to move faster, dig deeper and punch harder."
