i've noticed alot of these bands coming around lately. Two that top my list are Horse The Band and Powerglove!! i'm assuming a good amount of you have heard of them and if you havent get on myspace and give em a search.. great stuff!!
I'm not a fan of Horse the Band, but Powerglove certainly rules. Have you checked out The Black Mages, Megadriver, Machinae Supremacy, Stemage, Estradasphere or Desert Planet?
There's also a lot of great bitpop out there, including Bit Shifter, Anamanaguchi, Slagsm

YMCK is another one worth checking out.
I like Beck, and he uses video game sounds in a lot of his songs.
Yeah, definitely check out Machinae Supremacy, especially if you like Powerglove. A lot of their music is offered up for free on their site: http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/compilations.php
Machinae Supremacy is awesome if you want catchy video game metal. I absolutely love some of the tracks they have created. If you haven't played Jets 'n Guns and you like side scrolling space shooters, do yourself a favor and grab that game. They did the soundtrack specifically for it and it totally fits the action. Fantastic music for a fantastic game.
yeah masu are pretty rad.
Hence there are a few diehard fans here after I turned them all on to the band yeah thanks guys.
I don't like the vocals in MaSu.
Me neither. I've been meaning to grab their instrumental stuff, though.
Stuff that hasn't been mentioned... Rugar, an 8-bit artist who made up an album based on a video game in his head. And ****, I wish I knew the names of these 8-bit artists who do awesome remakes of TMNT themes and stuff.
masu ****ing blows. Another instance of great music being ruined by ****ty vocals.
Oh, and Megadriver is one of the best video game influenced bands out there.
psychic attack of the psyduck is good chill electronica. :)
People who object to Masu's vocals and like black metal are hypocrites
Or the masu vocalist has an odd, unpleasant whiny tone to his voice.
Yeah... I can love listening to someone literally choking and vomiting over guitars and everything, but I have an extreme aversion to anything that sounds "whiny." And he just has an annoying way of singing. But man, I used to listen to this Warcraft song they did all the time.
I do have to agree that MaSu has pretty annoying vocals. The Jets 'n Guns soundtrack is all instrumental though and that's why I like it so much.
I could really go for like a chill lounge version of some good video game themes.
