Video Games Live coming to DVD and CD
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 22nd June 2007
Video Games Live is a concert which plays music from games such as Zelda and Halo.
Video Games Live, for those not in the know, is a celebration of some of the best game music from the history of computer games. Touring worldwide, it is bulled as the 'number one video game touring concert in the world', not that there is a lot of competition in that category.
Still, the concert is widely acclaimed and has been a massive critical success for gamers and n00bs alike for it's interactive performance segments and the adaptation of game music to a classical performance format.
The concert, which has toured globally, is now seeing a mainstream release with a CD and DVD of it's performance in Rio de Janiero. Online trailers have been released to show just what the concert holds in store for music fans and fans will be able to order a copy of the DVD or CD from the website soon.
The concert, founded by Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall who have worked on titles such as Jade Empire and Earthworm Jim, features performances of music from games as varied as Tetris and God of War. There's even music from staff favourites, Beyond Good and Evil and some classic Lucasarts adventure games.
Will you be ordering a copy, or do you prefer your games with the sound down? What's your favourite game soundtrack and do you plan to visit the show next time it plays near you? Answers in the forums please, but this time we'll only listen to answers which rhyme to the post above it. See? We can be musical too.

btw, you broke the rule, the post above yours didn't rhyme with the post above it.
With that in mind, here's some fluff, for the forums.

Why does it have to rhyme?
Does Bit-Tech need a company song?
On his hands the editor has too much time?
This should have a metre,
But it would take too long.

Loving the Zelda parts to their performance though :)
When I finally got to hear the concert, however, I was a little disappointed.

Thing is, there is so much good music from so many games; a lot of the music from the Hitman games is a must, too. :D
