Video Games Live
Lindsey, myself, and some guys from 1up games in Edinburgh travelled through to Glasgow to see Video Games Live last night. It was freakin awesome.
The music was great. My favourite performance was the opening theme to Civilization IV, which was a surprise because I’d forgotten what a great piece of music opens the game. It’s pretty epic. The performance of One Winged Angel was astounding. Despite not being a huge fan of the game the Halo performance was great, and the same applied for the Castlevania piece.
The Scottish National Orchestra and Chorus were phenomenal, and Jack Wall’s conducting was… well.. I don’t know much about conducting but he seemed pretty good. Tommy Tallarico was pretty entertaining and a great guitarist. The Video Game Pianist (Martin Leung) performed a Final Fantasy medley that was mind blowingly good.
Overall I have to give it four out of four.
