As game soundtracks continue to creep into mainstream consciousness, it was only a matter of time before a full blown concert series took shape. This summer [url=http://www.videogameslive.com]Video Games Live[/url] promises to deliver the ultimate auditory experience as a full orchestra and chorus perform classic game music favorites. In addition to the music, attendees will be treated to giant interactive video screens and theatrical stage shows.
So far two dates have been announced - July 6th at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA and August 11th Chastain Park in Atlanta, GA. Stay tuned to their site for more dates.
As a special bonus, rumor has it that Bungie's own Marty O'Donnell will be making an appearance at the LA show. We'll catch up to Marty and provide some more insight into this event in the near future. For now, if you're interested, head over to their site and find out how to get your tickets on order.

I'm happy that people like Maarty O'Donnell are finally getting the respect they deserve. Making music for Movies may be hard, but making good music for video games is much harder, it has to be dynamic and change with the player. It's nice to see the Video Game industry is oh so slowly gaining mainstream legitimacy. (Oh wait, that means more idiots on Xbox Live). Anyways, I wish I could go, maybe next year, but to those that will be there, have fun!
