[QUOTE=DoubleDD;32072491]I don't get why Angry Birds is there It didn't do anything for me gameplay wise and certainly didn't do anything for me music wise suck a dick Angry Birds[/QUOTE] TBH I like the angry birds theme song, it's quite catchy :v: Though i don't think it's worth a Classic Remake or anything and more games deserve that spot than that.

Devastated that there's no Medal of Honour. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cvM6YrWC7I[/media] Those were the days, before everything went modern warfare.
[QUOTE=-Chief-;32087164]This song would sound awesome done by an orchestra. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb7iqAq-eFg[/media][/QUOTE] Holy tits that would be amazing. This too: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVzC6WZImGY[/url] Would be amazing. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h5gRnY9Gt0[/url] Would be even better. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNZ0Dpvx3CA[/url] Would rip your testicles off. Also Grand Cathedral and Great Pyramid themes from Serious Sam. Also original first level theme from the SNES Starfox. Also Metroid Brinstar theme. Fuck, there are a billion amazing soundtracks and they chose dross like Fallout 3's shit orchestra crap. Hell, THIS is so begging to be played live it's a crime not to include it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HGQS5XSoJ4[/media]
[QUOTE=SoaringScout;32086900]And Half-Life orchestrated? Hell no. You orchestrate this and I will personally cut your balls off and feed them to a bear. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLfPUtZqdV4[/media] Same with this if this is what you are talking about: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUKcAo8AriM[/media] It's just not fucking right with Half-Life music. Half-Life music sounds way too electronic.[/QUOTE] Half Life can be orchastrated and you're just being small minded about it. Also, where the fuck is LA Noire?! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpc_c7m3IsM[/media] And Icarus? Cmon, that is the theme of the game that defined this year in Gaming.
[QUOTE=Swilly;32092012]Half Life can be orchastrated and you're just being small minded about it.[/QUOTE] How is it being small minded? Saying Half-Life's soundtrack can be orchestrated is like saying you can orchestrate techno. If they do anything with the song, it should be covered by guitar, bass, and drums. Plus, why is this thread filled with people bitching about how they didn't choose every single video game in existence?

Video Games Live does this as well; I've been to one of them before. Unfortunately, they focus their music on console-based games more than anything else.
[QUOTE=ItsGary;32087718]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.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.garryschyman.com/garryschymanbioshock.pdf[/url] How hard is it? I don't know shit about playing the piano.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;32079463]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.[/QUOTE] Because Angry Birds is one of the most famous mobile games. As much as I hate it, smart phones are becoming a legitimate gaming platform to casual gamers and the LPO are recognising that. [sp]Plus the theme tune is pretty catchy[/sp]
Needs more Guild Wars and Myst.
I went to a video game concert like this. 6 Years ago.
Icarus needs to be there, or this concert sucks.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-aitfK7jRE[/media] cave story should be on there
Wow people complaining how they don't have certain songs. Are they really gonna sit there all day and play a thousand songs? They only selected several from popular games.

I'd like more classic games to be on the list doesn't have to be things people know that much, it's more about amazing game soundtracks right? there's not that much charming music anymore it's kinda generic most of the videogame music now. Kinda boring picks that are all war shooters almost I could do without Blood Stone 007, Enemy Zero, and of course ANGRY BIRDS! what the fuck.
Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Zelda and World of Warcraft... aww shit, I want to hear this shit. Some of the choices don't really make any sense though. What the fuck is "CoD Main Menu Theme" supposed to be? CoD4?
Put some Metal Gear Solid into that shit. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHQnDTd1y4[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k3n5me4Rns&feature=related[/media]
Marty O'Donnell's Halo stuff is on! [h2]FUUUUCK YESSSSSS[/h2]
[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? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZU6XyFxCA0[/media][/QUOTE]well considering Doom has a thrash theme, quake has an electronic theme, and half life doesn't really have it's own theme, I'd say they're in the clear as for Deus Ex and Unreal, there really isn't an excuse.
