There is even a soundtrack album released on the EMI Classics label and, surprising even fans of the genre, the album has debuted at the number 10 spot on the Billboard Classical Crossover Albums chart. "What a fantastic honor for us and the entire game industry", said prolific video game composer and co-creator/executive producer of Video Games Live, Tommy Tallarico. "It's one of those things you always dream about as a musician growing up." This is an amazing achievement, and shows just how many people out there are interested in games and the music that drives them. The album includes orchestral arrangements of songs from Kingdom Hearts, Warcraft, Tetris, and God of War, and is available at most major retailers, as well as on iTunes. Everything I've heard from Video Games Live in the past has been on the amazing side, so I'm pretty happy that the music is finding a wide audience I know what I'm going to be listening to this weekend. ### Frank's Thoughts I can't decide if this is a huge deal for gaming or a terrible sign for the music industry; how many big-name Classical Crossover Albums are there? Either way, check out the CD: Video Games Live rocks, and the attention is well-deserved.
