Kecak in video games

by imakelists2cope

Well, obviously in video games, but

Kecak, sometimes spelled - wait, quote blocks are in mandatory bold? Aaaaaargh. Okay - sometimes spelled kechak or ケチャ or the actual proper script or whatever, and informally known as the "Balinese Ramamaya Monkey Chant", is... actually, you know what, if you've heard it, you've heard it. God, why does everything fall out of head when I actually start typing.

This list was originally going to be about gamelan with kecak as a specific priority, or about kecak with gamelan as a secondary objective, but after looking through a bunch of stuff officially and unofficially labeled as gamelan, I decided to focus solely on kecak. Should I be italicizing gamelan and kecak? Ugh. Okay, there's still a few mentions of gamelan, and I hope to one day make sure there really isn't any kecak in games like Sonic Unleashed, SOCOM 4 and Kena: Bridge of Spirits. But if I don't hear "chak", I won't look back.
