BlizzCon 2008 Kicks Off Friday!
If you really cared you're already well-aware, but Blizzard still wanted to drop off a press release letting everyone know that BlizzCon 2008 begins this Friday, and then abruptly ends this Saturday. It's sure to be a truly epic event, with swag, costumes, giveaways, special events hosted by Jay Mohr, and a closing concert featuring comedian Patton Oswalt, in-house Blizzard metal band Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftan, and a special performance by Video Games Live of orchestral arraignments of the music from Blizzard's franchises.

Video Games Live Volume One Impressions
Ever since my initial experience with the concert tour during GDC 07, I've been a big fan of the Video Games Live concert series. The combination of classic video game tunes played by a symphony orchestra and classic gaming imagery, both shared with a couple thousand fellow gamers is something that everyone should try to experience at least once. That having been said, I was a bit skeptical regarding a CD release of the music from the event. How could a measly 10-track disc compare to the massive gaming music event? It can't really, but it can give you a better appreciation of the music. Hit the jump for brief, track by track impressions of the Video Games Live Volume One CD. More »

Video Games Live Gets CD Release
Soon appearing on the souvenir tables at Video Games Live events around the world, EMI has announced the first CD release for the video game music event, Video Games Live: Volume One. No longer will fans be forced to choose between a crappy t-shirt or an overpriced program guide (*eyes program guide on the shelf with spite*)! The full CD should be appearing on iTunes soon (perhaps today), with the full CD release and bonus tracks spaced out to coincide with concert events in San Diego later this month and Leipzig in August.

Video Games Live Is For Lovers
In fear of letting the theme of "girls like video games too" fall by the wayside (because, y'know, you were all so concerned), I thought I'd let you know of my deferred Valentine's Day plans for this weekend: the boyfriend is taking me to see Video Games Live! While Kotaku writers have been to the show in the past, I thought it might be nice to let you know how the new 2008 tour compares, since Toronto will be the fifth stop on the tour of over forty cities.

Video Games Live Performs For Spike Awards
If you've never had a chance to catch the Video Games Live concert before, we can pretty much assume you've never been to a major gaming event, because it seems like every time I turn around, there they are with their little Space Invaders t-shirts, carrying around duct tape. They'll be taping things together next Friday, December 7th, at the taping of Spike TV's 2007 Video Game Awards, to be aired on Sunday the 9th at 9PM. It'll be an excellent chance to get a peek at what you're missing as the concert makes its first-ever television appearance. Besides, we'll all be making fun of the Spike TV VGAs the following Monday, and you want to be included in that, don't you? It'll be no fun without you. When you aren't here we sit around and just mope. More »

Ticketbuyer. Industry luminaries like Nolan Bushnell, Akira Yamaoka, David Hayter and David Perry will all be in attendance, with over a dozen video game soundtrack composers and sound designers promised to appear. Many of these folks will be hanging out after the show to press palms, pose for pictures, and generally be annoyed by the hordes of game music uber-fans. More » -

Video Games Live Kicks Off London Games Festival
The London Games Festival is coming up in October, and what's a major gaming event without a visit from Tommy Tallarico and his traveling band of musical companion elves? Certainly not the LGF, that's for sure. They're kicking off the festival with a visit from the Video Games Liveconcertinteractive celebration of gaming at the Royal Festival Hall on the 22nd. Along with the old standards from Zelda, Halo, Warcraft, Myst, etc., concert goers will enjoy a pre and post show festival featuring demos of Holiday Xbox 360 titles, a cosplay contest, meet-and-greets, and a special arrangement from Halo 3 The Music (not to be confused with Halo 3 The Ride). Hit the jump for full details, ticket purchasing information, and all sorts of musical PR goodness. More »

Even NPR Picks Up on Video Games Live!
A few weeks late (the DC concerts were at the end of June), but NPR has a nice little piece that sums up the slight confusion and fascination non-gaming types have had in reaction to hordes of children, adults in t-shirts and jeans, and cosplayers invading places like the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, where more sedate crowds in business casual (and occasionally formal dress) generally rule the roost. The looks on the faces of well-dressed Washingtonians heading to opening night of the Phantom of the Opera, down the hall at the Opera House, were pretty priceless. Plenty of people watching the concert seemed a little confused (the whooping and hollering was directly at odds with the behavior of any crowd I've ever seen at the Kennedy Center), so it's easy to forgive the mainstream media for being mildly perplexed.

Feature: Video Games Live at GDC
A taxi deposits me outside of the Nob Hill Masonic Center around 5 p.m. last Friday. Originally I was supposed to arrive closer to 6:00, but a last minute email from my sponsor for the event, Dream Authentics, sent me into a flurry of preparation seldom seen in my otherwise relatively laid back life. Tonight, on the last day of the 2007 Game Developers Conference, I would be attending the Video Games Live concert, with special guest Koji Kondo, the legendary composer for Super Mario Bros. and Zelda.
