  • 4 Tap Tap Revenge
  • 5 Rock Band
  • 6 Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
  • 7 Need for Speed: Undercover

Quake

The Quake Soundtrack was wholly created by Trent Reznor for use as background and incidental music during gameplay. The 10 tracks created for this release have never been released elsewhere, and therefore an original copy of the soundtrack is prized by many.

Doom 3

Reznor was originally approached to create sound effects and music for Doom 3, and his pieces were used in the original alpha release. However, the final game didn't contain any music or sounds by Reznor.

  • Note that id Software were such fans of Nine Inch Nails that the Ultimate Doom game featured the NIN logo hidden on the level map "E4M1: Hell Beneath"

Tony Hawk's Project 8

The soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Project 8 features "Getting Smaller"

Tap Tap Revenge

The iPhone exclusive game "Tap Tap Revenge" premiered its first ever special edition version of the game with Tap Tap Revenge: Nine Inch Nails, featuring 13 tracks from Ghosts I-IV and The Slip, hand-picked by Reznor. This is also the first game that was co-designed by Reznor, along with long-time art director Rob Sheridan, highlighting a desire that both have pledged for making a full-blown video game.
The tracks used are:

  • "1,000,000"
