Can a video game associated with Gary Jules over TFF be a fun game?

I don't hate Gary's version (mostly it works so fucking well in Donnie Darko) but it seems too Prozac-addled for a video game to use.

I think it's meant to be a funny on the video game commercial.

yeah my dad was as big a TFF fan as you're likely to find in America so I grew up hearing the song constantly and that cover is so awful

The original is nothing special either.

I like the commercial. It gives the game an odd feel to it.
