Videogame music influenced metal

[Vimana]

I have really been digging the music of the game Castlevania. Are there any metal bands that incorporate videogame style music into their music? It doesn't have to be castlevania-esque, but I would prefer darker videogame style metal.

Gigantic Brain ~ The Invasion Discography

They are grind... but they cover some old video game songs and the album itself is awesome.

A lot of symphonic bands are honestly just borrowing from video game and movie soundtracks.
Dragonland.

Correction: Dark heavy video game music influenced bands that don't suck.

Now that I think about it... Gigantic Brain actually does a Castlevania song cover on the comp I mentioned.

10. Dehumanize (Ninja Gaiden NES cover)
11. We Become the Earth (The First Stampede) - (Castlevania NES cover)

In Flames did a 64 bit version of Moonshield.

I was gonna mention that. Their tetris cover is pretty cool.

I don't think any of this is dark, but I haven't listened to any of it in a while.

It's only on one song, but Sadist's The Ninth Wave IS the fusion of Super Castlevania IV and early-90's tech-death. Fucking awesome song.
