inFAMOUS - The Truth
I had said last column that this was the top song from the Best Game of '09 So Far, so it should only make sense that Video Games Live translate this song into orchestral genius. "The Truth" would be perfect as the opening song to the concert: a mysterious and foreboding piece that ends with the lone violin that we all know and love. Imagine being in the room while this song is playing. Wouldn't you be ready for more?
HONORABLE MENTION FROM THIS GAME: "Genesis" and "The Courier"
Mass Effect Medley Including:
Sovereign's Theme
Vigil
From The Wreckage
You all knew this was coming. Do I even need to explain? Of course, our website director Eddie told me that when VGL played E3 this year, Mass Effect was part of it. Shouldn't be too hard to move that sound here to Philly, right?
HONORABLE MENTIONS FROM THIS GAME: The whole damn soundtrack.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Love Theme
How freakin' cool would this be? To hear the voice of Jackie Presti (or anyone that sounds like her) sing the haunting Arabic words of the song, while the orchestra plays in the background? To be in that room would send shivers up my spine. If this song does indeed play when VGL comes, I really do think I'll cry. It's such a sad song to begin with, but to hear it live could send even the toughest man on Earth into tears. This would make the whole concert, should they play it.
HONORABLE MENTIONS FROM THIS GAME: "Old Snake" and "Guns of the Patriots"
There you have it. If I hear any of those tunes on October 11th, I'll be a happy guy. If I hear all of them... well, you'll be hearing about how an orchestra made an audience member's head explode. Look for that in the news on October 12th.
