Video Games Live is back!


Video Games Live is coming back to Malaysia!! May 26th and 27th to be exact.

Tickets are no sale now, and the venue is Istana Budaya. Which means this time they have an actual concert hall with better facilities than the convention hall in KLCC they used back in 2010, although by no means did that hamper the sheer awesome-ness of the concert.

For those not in the know, Video Games Live is basically a concert series that features music from all eras of video game history.

The last time they were here, the concert creators Jack Wall and Tommy Tallarico, himself a video game music composer and musician, played a multitude of video game themes both old and new:

God of War, Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, Super Mario, Sonic, Kingdom Hearts, Halo, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, World of Warcraft.

For that concert they even managed to bring Norihiko Hibino, the composer and saxophonist for Metal Gear Solid.

HOW FREAKING AWESOME WAS THAT!?

The concert ended with One Winged Angel, with a FULL orchestra. I pretty much went rabid fanboy mode when they played it.

Also, a short update in that Diablo III's release date has finally been confirmed for May 15th.

Add to the fact that the Avengers movie is coming out in May along with Max Payne 3, May 2012 just became the most awesomest month ever.
