[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;28049583]Isn't it too old to be eligible for this year's awards?[/QUOTE]
It came out on an album released by the composer last year. I bought the digital copy of the album from his website for $10 which came in AIFF. Well worth it.
[QUOTE=sltungle;28046416]No matter what you have to say about the Halo games, there's no doubt in my mind that if ANY series deserves a highly acclaimed award: it's the Halo series.[/QUOTE]
Especially when it comes to music.
Now, if anyone wants to argue that Halo doesn't have an amazing soundtrack, provide a logical argument, because otherwise the only other way you can say its music sucks is if you don't like orchestra-style music, or you're an anti-everything-Halo bandwagon guy.
If they allowed video game music from any year, you would see nothing but tracks from Rare(ware).
Also, I will not die until Super Mario 64's Dire, Dire Docks wins some sort of award.

Well deserved.
Also people be mad because their favourite videogame song didn't win.
I don't know what i'd pick for that category, but i do know what they chose sounds generic. Not something you'd play in the background while browsing the web or something.
[QUOTE=TAU!;28042893]This "song" sucks ass.[/QUOTE]

i never said i don't think the soundtrack is amazing
it's like they just picked the first song they found after looking up "videogame music"

The most popular videogame song is probably Still Alive.
I used to love that song, now i'm tired of it.
If any song deserves it it's this:

Okay fine.
How about Mass Effect 2's soundtrack.
there are lots and lots of great video game songs, i'm not arguing that, but there are very few that are as immediately striking as baba yetu
everything from assassin's creed 2, everything from mirror's edge
am i the only one who does not like civilization 4 or 5.
and i agree with most of the mass effect music having a good chance to win too.
Why are you people taking the grammys seriously? The Black Eyed Peas have won multiple grammys and they suck hard.

It's mainstream recognition of the video game industry.
There's so much great music made for games, instrumental and otherwise, it's hard to even comprehend.

Fuck yeah. :frogc00l: . I'm from MD.
Whatever your preferences for music in video games is, the fact that something from a video game was nominated for, let alone won an award outside it's circle is pretty monumental.
It's good to see some recognition.
