Ha, finally we have an event (that is ok, not amazing) that you American’s don’t get! <Then ponders if that is actually possible>

I shall be attending the Video Games LIVE Event at the Royal Festival Hall; London.
It looks back over the years at the music from Video Games such as Mario, Zelda, Halo, Tetris, Pong, Donkey Kong etc….

I will let you know how it was in the Months UK Special Podcast. (If we have one!)

(Major(Nelson) would love this event)

Meanwhile, I have managed to get my hands on a 30Gb Zune which isn’t released in the UK until 2008! (SSSSHHHHHH) (My Twitter Post on it)

Fable has some great music too.

I voted for Halo. That chanting is way cool!

Although Halo is a very strong contender, i vote Jeremy Soule as the best video game music composer. I loved his work in Morrowind (My favorite RPG of all time, so far.) He did other amazing work in other games as well.

My vote goes to Tetris.

I can’t even remember what it sounds like.

I voted for the mario series becuase it is classic and enduring.

Modern era goes hands down to Halo for me, and Halo gets best use of music in a game for me.

im gonna be the tool who says it, Final Fantasy then Metal Gear Solid, also funny you should mention video game music, here we have one been running since 2004 its actually jus started in the states, very good if you check my last fm you can see i listen to that alot

Some of favorite music comes from 2d shoot em ups.  Raiden series, Parodius, Striker 1945, etc.

Hexic’s music is good, but in an ambient kind of way. A lot of it is not exactly music.
