[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;32073059]No Half-Life. No Quake. No Doom. No Deus Ex. No Unreal. There isn't even the god damn Sims in there.
Deus Ex has the best orchestral main menu theme there is, how can it [I]not[/I] be included?

This sorely needs an orchestral version, god fucking damn.
[QUOTE=DarkwindLeaf;32072350]oh god why is angry birds there[/QUOTE]
Publicity. Only reason Farmville isn't there is because it has no music.
Unmatchable in my opinion:

Yeah looking forward to the Metal Gear Solid
If they don't play Snake Eater i'll go insane.
No Doom or Super Metroid?

Mass Effect [B]and[/B] Halo 3?
They chose the best Halo soundtrack. Nice.
Why Angry Birds? It's just a fucking generic artillery game. I can go to any flash site and find dozens of them. It's music isn't even that good.
Call of duty... halo... fallout... and no metroid? Seriously?
Despite metroid having one of the most iconic themes on the same plane as Zelda's and SMB's , they chose MW2's *horrible* theme and Fallout?
Disappointed

Someday I will have sex with my girlfriend to the theme of TES III Morrowind
And it will be glorious
Diablo needs more love, it is in the top 3 best soundtracks of all time in my opinion.

At least they're gonna do it in a really good manner from what i can see.
They shouldn't do any old piece simply because it's good or popular. There's some video game music that shouldn't be orchestrated and it has nothing to do with whether the piece is good or bad. The point of an orchestra is not to get a large number of people together for a performance...it's being able to do a ton of different things at once and having pretty much any timbre you want to work with. There's not a whole lot more you can do with some pieces.
It's similar when rock groups play with an orchestra; sometimes it's really hard to give each instrument a useful role without screwing up the piece. You could just have them back the original parts, but that doesn't add anything and it's dreadfully boring for the performers.
Actually the angry birds theme sounds pretty good on strings. Still doesn't deserve to be there, I bet the devs paid to have them play it.

wohoo looking forward to
WoW
Elder scrolls and Battlefield!
As cool as that all sounds, I can't help but think they're a bit late to the game here. Video Games Live has been doing this for years, and the Blu-Ray/DVD they released earlier this year is nothing short of jawdropping. Just look at the set-list:
1. Classic Games Medley (Pong, Tetris, Asteroids, Dragon's Lair, etc)
2. Halo Medley (Music from Halo 1 and 3)
3. Civilization IV Theme Music "Baba Yetu"
4. Starcraft Medley
5. Sonic the Hedgehog Medley
6. Advent Rising
7. World of Warcraft Medley
8. Chrono Cross.
9. Mass Effect Theme and "Vigil"
10. Mega Man Medley
11. Myst Medley
12. Legend of Zelda
13. Mario Medley
14. God of War III Theme
15. Lament of the Highbourne (World of Warcraft)
16. Castlevania Medley
It's a friggin' amazing concert.

It'll be complete crap if it's based on the new Ghost Recons. Whereas if it was based on the older ghost recons it'll instead be complete crap. Basically it'll be complete crap.
No Ace Combat? :(. Had some of the best orchestral music I've ever heard in a game.

It will be interesting to hear what they do for GTA. IV had some nice music.
And even though it'll never be done, I would kill to hear a live version of the music from Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

That would be amazing.
No Ace Combat music?
They have some pretty fucking awesome Orchestra.

You put Halo up there like its a BAD thing. Halo's soundtrack is fucking incredible! martin O'Donell, the composer is brilliant. Halo's main theme is one of my favorite themes out there, and ODST's soundtrack was phenomenal.

Why the hell wasn't The Storm included, this is quite possibly the best song from any game!

Even if you aren't interested, just click the video. It really is amazing.
No Mario? No Half Life? What the fuck is this shit.

And Half-Life orchestrated? Hell no. You orchestrate this and I will personally cut your balls off and feed them to a bear.

Same with this if this is what you are talking about:

It's just not fucking right with Half-Life music. Half-Life music sounds way too electronic.
This song would sound awesome done by an orchestra.

Wasn't Cohen's Masterpiece impossible to play or something? I think I saw some Asian play it but he was too slow to keep up.
I saw VGL in 2009 in New York it was amazing.
