Hey! Listen! Chrono Jigga Jay-Z Mash-Up with Chrono Trigger by 2 Mello
As someone who has non-sensical hip-hop tastes, The Grey Album was responsible for actually opening my mind to enjoying his music. So you can say I have a soft spot for Jay-Z mash-ups.

Hey! Play! Bombermine is 1,000 Player Bomberman

Hey! Watch! Hotline Miami Invades Other Games
Oh, how I love the violence and speed of Hotline Miami. Bursting into locations full of clueless bad guys who brutally die before they even know you are in the room.
