I've been wanting to write something small like this for a while now so here we go._________________________________________________Myself personally, I'm very compassionate about video game music. It's usually what can make or break a game. It decides the mood, the tone, and just about everything. Imagine sitting there playing a game without sound. How would you get freaked out when the chainsaw guy came out from Resident Evil, or not being able to hear the tropical music in the background of Super Mario Sunshine, and even not being able to hear anything when Zelda came onto the screen. Let's just face it, a game depends on the music.
Music is what makes our world, and video games are a part of our culture. Without music in general, life would be dull, and that's a fact of life. If life had music and videos games didn't would you be okay?; I for sure wouldn't. Thinking about it I'm sure nobody would be okay with that. I mean over the history of video games, the music has evolved. From the old Super Mario Bros. theme to the a more recent one, Twilight Princess, you can obviously tell the difference.
There's one slight problem though; not many people appereciate video game music as it should be. Even some people get made fun of just becuase they have video game music on their mp3 player. Video game music is REAL life music. A person took the time to write it and that's what it is even if it doesn't have lyrics. (It may, but people don't know it, IE Super Mario Bros song) Some people need to get that through their head.
Finally, the last thing I'm going to bring up are Video Game remixes. My favorite part. Remixes are the gamers' interpretation of what the music should sound like, or just changing it a bit. I mean it really does a lot, and remixes (along with originals) could even make me tear up a bit. (Yea I have a soft side) The thing is though remixing is actually smiled apon, as look at all the sites dedicated to remixes; ZREO, Overclocked Remixs, and more. It really is something._________________________________________________I got to go now, I'll expand on the article later. Discuss you're thoughts for now I suppose.
