Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor's music has been used in video games, ranging from the first person shooter Quake to music games Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

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"

Rock Band

Rock Band features 7 fully playable songs from the NIN catalogue,

"The Hand That Feeds" - From the original game

From the separately purchasable "Nine Inch Nails Pack 1", released February 26, 2008:

From the separately purchasable "Nine Inch Nails Pack 2", released July 22, 2008:

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

The soundtrack for Midnight Club: Los Angeles features "1,000,000" and "Discipline" (listed under "Hard Rock")

-{{expand}}'''''Rock Band''''' is a series of music-based rhythm video games. The first game was released November 20, 2007 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, December 18, 2007 for the PlayStation 2, and June 22, 2008 for the Nintendo Wii. The game features four different instruments peripherals to play: lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and microphone, allowing up to four players to play simultaneously. Players must play the instruments in time with the "notes" scrolling on screen, while singers must match their vocal pitch to the pitch given on screen. The first game prompted a sequel, Rock Band 2, as well as three Track Packs.
