The Gaming Music Needs To Be As Good As The Movies Before It Gets The Nod

Friday, April 16th, 2010

The games market is huge there is no doubt about that and year on year it is on the rise so look out CD and DVD sales. Music in video games was just thrown in to make the game sound cool when you are playing it but now it takes just as long to make the soundtrack as an artist takes to record an album if not longer. Why on earth is this happening?

Would films such as Star Wars, Jaws, Avatar be so great without the music in them, I highly doubt it? Although there is no doubt that Star Wars would have made a great film without the music from John Williams it has to be said that it helped to tell the story. So many game soundtracks are being given time and more thought and of course more budget because they know it will make a difference.

Think of games like Halo and Call of Duty, music is activated when you get to a certain point in the game to help boost your reaction along with what is happening to the character at the time. This is exactly what happens on the high budget films.

Another important thing to take into consideration is the amount of artists that want to work with games nowadays, instruments that wouldn’t work in a film work perfectly in a game, takebanjos as an example for the much loved Banjo Kazooie franchise.

Albums of the game soundtracks are being released and even better they are being purchased and the soundtracks are made from all kinds of instruments from electro acoustic guitars to the simple electric guitars.

It would certainly seem that the music we hear in video game is becoming more and more important as the years go by. So there you have it, lets hope that games see better music in the near future.

Fantastic Gaming Songs

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Dr Mario With Lyrics

Gaming is becoming one of the biggest hobbies in the world and is going to outsell both music and the film industry in the new future which is of course why so many developers now look into having some real gripping music to help tell the stories of their games. Here are just a few of the great ones.

Halo 2

The last track of the game does it for me on this one and it works so well as well as the others in all three games, it adds to the storyline. Although getting incredibly annoyed at the fact that I had to wait at least another two years for the final game the awesome song at the end helped slightly!

Super Mario Bros

This is the one that really put music into a game and although this was a very simple song it inspired the rest of the music in the Mario games. Every world in Mario has always had a different tune too it and Mario Galaxy is no different.

Super Smash Bros Brawl

This one is on the list because all of Nintendo’s best musical numbers are on this game. The best thing is that every single stage has multiple tracks. This is just one of those games that any fan of Nintendo has to buy and this isn’t just because all of the top Nintendo characters are in it, the music is brilliant. The personal favourite of mine is Dr Mario.

The truth is that all of these pieces are made in a very similar way to the way that a film piece is made so all kinds of instruments from the traditional drum kits and guitars to bass guitars all are now needed to create a piece of music that is suitable for a game. It takes a lot of skill to create a truly wonderful piece of music for a game.

No More Plastic Guitars In Guitar Hero?

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Digital Guitar

Guitar Hero has been around for a while but hasn’t really inspired people that can actually play on a guitar.

The digital guitar isnt quite ready for a major public release yet but when it hits stores not only will it be able to connect with guitar hero without the need of wires, you can plug it into the ipod and rock out to your favourite songs of all time. This is the first and only thing that has been seen so far that will build the relationship that gamers and real guitarists have.

Something like this may also start to encourage artists to put more of their songs into the game as currently many refuse to simply because they would rather people play the real thing. As you can now do both the artists really do not have much to moan about anymore.

These guitars never need tuning either because they are digital which means any guitarist can just pick one of these up and start rocking to their favourite tunes and there are so many different modes on this guitar that anything is possible and it can of course be used as a real guitar if you are in a band. Although I do not think that people are just goign to drop their guitars and buy one of these I would say that if you are unsure you should at least give it a go to see what you think.

They already do many other digital instruments such as drum kits and they haven’t really kicked off at all, it really remains to be seen if this will kick off a trend and bands will start using these instead of other guitars.

Personally I don’t think it feels the same as owning your own proper guitar and belongs with other electronic instruments like the DJ equipment.

Music Trivia Games

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

         

Bob Marley trivia is going to, simply put, be all about the music. His music has been thought by many to be among the most positive and uplifting music ever created, and is extremely popular throughout the world. An interesting fact is that in radio tests created for random listening experiences conducted worldwide, Bob Marley tested the highest amongst all musicians among random listeners for pure enjoyment of his music.

 

A Bob Marley quiz is obviously going to contain some questions about his record sales and his greatest hits. One good example of this type of information is how he has the most popular selling reggae album of all time, which has sold more than 20 million copies over the entire globe. The name of that album was “Legend” which was released posthumously. Some of his most well known songs include, “No Woman No Cry” “Redemption Song” and “I Shot the Sheriff”.

 

Bob Marley trivia should include facts about his early life. He comes from a very small town in Jamaica called Nine Mile. His name was Nesta Robert Marley at birth, and an error in paperwork later in life would place the Robert “Bob” as the first name instead of Nesta. Marley’s father was white, and as a result Marley was the target of racism in his younger years because of his mixed parentage, something that could make him the target of racism from both black and white social sectors.

 

Bob Marley’s band was known as “The Wailers” although most people don’t know that they went through many different names before they finally became the Wailers, ultimately making records under the name of “Bob Marley and the Wailers”. Before settling on that name they had been “The Teenagers” “The Wailing Rudeboys” “The Wailing Wailers” and “The Wailers” and the band was ultimately composed of Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh, although Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith were all former members of the group.

 

Religion was a very large part of Marley’s life, and he was a follower of the Rastafarian movement.  A large part of his life became devoted to the spread of this religion and through getting the music of the movement to the remote parts of Jamaica, as well as exposing it through his popularity to the music world at large.

 

Marley died in 1981 at only 36 years old from cancer.
