Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked – Borderlands
Recommended Videos
Licensed music has been used to great effect in the openings of video games, but Borderlands really nailed its entire tone by using an upcoming artist’s song. The stylish opening of Borderlands is set to Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked by Cage the Elephant, which hit right as the band was starting to make it big. With some great timing set to the music, the opening introduces each of the four main characters and really helps set the tone for the overall experience.
This is one case where Borderland’s opening surely led to quite a few people discovering Cage the Elephant, and there’s no way you can’t think of Gearbox’s shooter series whenever the song comes on.
