I haven’t touched a “Gran Turismo” since it was the thing to play on PS One. But I absolutely, positively had to download the copy of “Gran Turismo 5: Prologue” that Sony sent me for one reason: I’m a Weezer fan.
The band hasn’t been that great since “Pinkerton”, but once a fan, always a fan. When I found out Weezer contributed “Automatic” from their upcoming album (it’s actually a remix of that yet-unreleased song) to “GT5: Prologue,” I had to check it out.
The result: I’ve so far put over two hours into “GT5: Prologue” — earning gold trophies in almost every “C Class” race — but haven’t heard “Automatic” playing over my speakers. There’s no sound test, so I have no choice but to keep racing. Good thing “GT5: Prologue” is so gorgeous to look at.
Ever played a game for a reason completely unrelated to the game itself?

Do achievements count?

I used to leave GTA: Vice City playing just to listen to the soundtrack. I would jack a car, tune the radio, and then crank the stereo.

There is a video trailer for GT5 P with the Weezer song.

Weezer= Teh Awesome.
Pinkerton is a classic which I still enjoy to this day. Actually, I enjoy all the albums.

Since I can’t drive, I’ll have to go with the trailer.
Pinkerton & Blue Album = best.

Stubbs the Zombie soundtrack is awesome and worth playing the game for. It’s also worth playing since it’s one of the only games where you get to play AS the zombie!

The real question: Blue or Pinkerton?

I’m excited about album six. If you’re a fan of weezer you should pick up Alone - The home recordings of Rivers Cuomo. Very good indeed.
In response to your question, not yet but I think prologue may be my first.
