"Also on Monday, Radio 1 will be playing classic tracks from videogame soundtracks."

I honestly never thought I'd see the day.

@Kazzahdrane:

It's not even the first time that's happened. Colin Murray did an hour of video game music one week. Finished on Still Alive too. It was wonderful.

Should be interesting though. I'll probably be spending all weekend gaming with the radio on anyway, so this is most suitable.

I sometimes listen to R1 on sunday morning, as only then is it better than Radio 2!






I am old.






Last week I was channel hopping and they was a making of Nirvanas Nevermind on there, so started watching that, then the ads came on and it said 'you are watching the classic album program, on VH1 classics' I felt REALLY old.

I am 33.

Anyway back on topic, this could be really good, or utter shite, and the top 3 games will be from the last 5 years or so!

Tried to get my 12 year old nephew to play Goldeneye on the N64 over the weekend, he made fun of it.

Anyone else slightly disappointed? Reading that headline, I thought R1 was going to do a huge LAN party event roughly equal to their recent Big Weekend in Swindon, with gaming tents set up for console players (maybe BYO HDD for 360 owners..?); SFIV, Tekken and SC4 tents with fighting sticks; Forza, PGR, GT set up with steering wheels and pedals; FPS tents, RTS tents, etc.

All watchable online and via the red button.

/off in a dream world....

Yeh, that's exactly what I was thinking, but then they'd have only hosted it in London and had a bunch of everyday mongs off the street go anyway, so probably not such a bad thing.

Exactly. They've missed a trick.

As long as they include the SSFIITHDR title music in their classic tracks, then I'm happy.

I also want to hear the Burnout 3 title screen theme music. Both the Lazy Generation and the main dance track would be good to hear.

Cheers!

Are you reading the comments, Minkley?
