This week, we’re spotlighting songs that could be considered “the other famous title” from their respective soundtracks or franchises. Whether they’re underrated, overrated, or just-right-rated, these sibling tracks deserve your love just as much as their more iconic counterparts.
Streets of Rage 2 | Dreamer
🎵 Sibling to: “Go Straight”
Another dance-floor banger from the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack. “Dreamer” is insanely catchy and puts you in the perfect mood to punch your way through waves of bad dudes. Yuzo Koshiro, take a bow—again.
Dreamer
Metal Gear Solid | The Man Who Sold The World
🎵 Sibling to: “Nuclear”
This haunting cover by Midge Ure is one of my favorite songs in general, not just within the MGS universe. Even outside the game’s context, the track carries a mysterious, broken quality that fits The Phantom Pain's themes of identity and chaos all too well.

Half-Life 2 | Combine
🎵 Sibling to: “Valve Theme”
This track is the audio equivalent of the phrase “harbinger of doom.”
I often think of that scene from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where the choir sings “Double Trouble.” Now imagine a choir of Overwatch soldiers being led by an Elite unit into a warped version of that performance. That’s what this sounds like.

Shovel Knight | An Underlying Problem
🎵 Sibling to: “Strike the Earth”
A chiptune masterpiece that nails the vibe of retro action-platformers. It’s energetic, atmospheric, and perfectly supports The Lost City stage. Like the rest of Shovel Knight’s soundtrack, this one’s a heartfelt tribute to the 8-bit golden era.

Hotline Miami 2 | Dust
🎵 Sibling to: “Hydrogen”
Also composed by M.O.O.N., “Dust” doesn’t quite get the same love as “Hydrogen”—but it absolutely should. Where “Hydrogen” is catchy and pulse-pounding, “Dust” leans into cinematic storytelling. Less club track, more slow-motion breakdown. Still hypnotic.
